This film is an extremely entertaining psychological thriller with Carrol Baker excellent as a rich American widow getting away from it all at a secluded Italian villa. Enter smart aleck down on his luck playboy, Lou Castel, who has some golddigging motives behind his slick hipster seduction techniques and has no qualms about how he gets what he wants. He encourages Baker's character's incipient alcoholism and dubious self-esteem, brings in his supposed 'sister' to help drag Baker even further into a maze of sick mind games, drug addiction and group sex, all culminating in a descent into near-madness and self-destructive depravity.
I won't give away anymore, suffice to say that the film delivers on its swinging sixties, Euro sleaze ambience and psychological suspense thriller credentials in spades. Director Umberto Lenzi's work has been, at best, uneven and he's churned out his share of crap. However, he made some quite good giallos and crime pictures in the sixties and seventies and this is one of them (other good films by Lenzi -- SPASMO, SEVEN BLOODSTAINED ORCHIDS, ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON, to name only a few).
Unfortunately this film is ofen confused with another okay but not-quite-as-good Lenzi film that was also released briefly here in America under the same PARANOIA title (but is more commonly known, especially on video, as A QUIET PLACE TO KILL).
中间的长镜头，给得太好了。
以小见大，一人可见一个疗养院，一个疗养院可见一个国家。
电影多少有点被利用的感觉 在这部片子里面 用来发声 也算是电影的功能之一吧 只是过于直白了点。
沉浸感真好，还是得由小见大，本来都能达到效果，可咱总是搞反。
能看出是用心之作但剧本真的一般，结尾的感情渲染太刻意了以至于到最后一刻有点跳戏。摄影是好看的，朱老师也是好看的，最爱的是养老院那天晚上的那场哭戏。
导演的伟大不止在于抨击新冠疫情，还反映了弱势群体被冷漠抛弃的必然。
人美心善的女主和早发痴呆的宅男之间也挺温柔的。还是没看完。紧跟时事。
3.5两位主演的表演非常不错…
Jodie太有魅力了，在近几年冒头的新生代里属于绝对的实力派。对比之下，SOHO区惊魂夜里我同样喜欢的两位女演员在演技上就还有很大的进步空间（当然年龄也更小，还有时间）
没有家国大义，没有感动中国式的煽情，只有孤立无援下的绝望和直接单纯的善良，演员们演技都太好了。有时候都忘了疫情最开始的无助，不知不觉已经戴着口罩过了两个夏天了。
新冠进入疗养院。真的好绝望啊。。。（口罩是中国捐的）
动机一直模糊不清，最后的发问更是无力，这又不是Killing Eve，真人真事改得太抓马了。
口音英语听着挺亲切就是有点费劲。
比起外国人对宏大叙事的态度，中国人好像有个特点，就是一味回避真相，只记得住那些大的，澎湃的，虚假的，气球一样的东西，
12 days quarantine 霍乱时期的爱情💧以小见大四两拨千金，故事的力量，演员的力量。Jodie实在是太会演了
利物浦的英语口音就是这样的吗我敲。。
Jodie Comer 的表演没的说，其他没什么可说的。中国医生大而空洞，这部小而文艺，都不优秀
以小见大，深入浅出。将covid和痴呆症勾连起来，用一位社会loser的应聘撬开被遗忘的、看不见的底层的故事。小人物在大时代动荡下被遗弃被遗忘被牺牲，这才会有"亡命鸳鸯"，才会有那段愤怒的独白。回望被lock down的那些时光，回想曾出现在我们自己土地上的许许多多真实事件，谨记要善良，要宽容，不要互相遗忘。
后三十分钟的剧本太过潦草突兀，直接削弱了整部电影的感染力，很可惜
