Fernando Di Leo's "Milano Calibro 9" is an out-and-out masterpiece of Italian Crime cinema and, in my opinion, one of the most astonishing crime stories ever told. The first film in Di Leo's excellent 'Milieu' trilogy, "Milano Calibro 9" was followed by "La Mala Ordina" (aka. "Manhunt", also 1972) and the brilliant "Il Boss" (1973). The three films are not connected story-wise, but all three are excellent, and highly realistic portrayals of organized crime. As far as I am concerned "Manhunt" is (allthough excellent) slightly inferior to this one and "Il Boss" which both stand out as absolute all-time highlights of crime cinema. "Milano Calibro 9" is the best of them all, a film that is astonishing in all aspects, be it the ingenious plot that, apart from a compelling story and clever twists, includes social criticism, the performances, the gritty atmosphere and suspense or the brilliant score. I can hardly find the right words to express my admiration for this masterpiece which easily ranks among the greatest Gangster flicks ever brought to screen.
Gastone Moschin stars as Ugo Piazza, a tough and elliptical ex-convict who has just been released from prison. Immediately after his release, Ugo is approached by members of the Milan mob lead by the irascible gangster Rocco (Mario Adorf), as they suspect him to be responsible for the disappearance of a large sum of money belonging to their boss, an American (Lionel Stander) who controls the organized crime in Milan...
"Milano Calibro 9" is a film that delivers an astonishingly realistic mood of the underworld like hardly another. The intriguing storyline goes in hand with interesting characters, raw atmosphere, suspense and breathtaking action, social criticism and brutal violence. The film is simply stunning from the beginning to the end, which is even intensified by the brilliant score, a collaboration of the famous composer Luis Enríquez Bacalov and the Italian Progressive Rock band Osanna. Ugo Piazza must be one of the most charismatic gangster characters ever in cinema, and Gastone Moschin was the prefect choice for the role. Moschin delivers a brilliant performance, and the rest of the cast is also great. Mario Adorf is irascible like a rabid dog as the ferocious gangster Rocco, a role that fits him like a glove. The great Lionel Stander fits perfectly in his role of the American Mafia Don.
The two cop characters in the film are played by two of the greatest regulars of Italian genre-cinema, Luigi Pistilli and Frank Wolff (who committed suicide before the film was released). The ravishing Barbara Bouchet is astonishing and incredibly sexy in the role of Ugo Piazza's stripper girlfriend. Bouchet is both a stunning beauty and an excellent actress and this is doubtlessly one of her most memorable roles. This is also a political film and director Di Leo embedded a lot of social criticism about topics like corruption. This film simply has everything one can possibly desire in cinema. Films like "Milano Calibro 9" are the reason why I love cinema. This is an absolute masterpiece in all regards and, without exaggeration, one of the greatest Crime flicks ever made! The ingenious opening scene alone is more memorable than most films get in two hours.
前一小时，觉得题材挺有趣，话题也挺有趣，觉得是一部包装成有噱头的浪漫轻喜剧，后半小时急转直下变成了常规化的亲情和解题材，加上结局的超级无聊，立马感受变成了3星。可以想象这在中国如果被报道会有多耸动的大字标题，可以明晰现实中这样展开的不可能性。仍然感谢有人愿意耐心用心真心与一个中老年女性谈心了解其需求，满足其欲望，也希望女性无论什么年纪，都能更爱自己，更关心自己，在不违背道义伦理等基本框架的基础上，取悦自己，活出自己想要的人生。
话痨/ 谁不希望在疲惫之年获得这样一份慰藉呢 坦诚是所有的答案
小房间，两位主角，加之段落化的戏剧表达，导演把台词设置得极为精妙，从欲望, 偏见，到性工作者创伤的爆发，再到最后平和的收尾，一步步恰到好处。
只能说 又是一部不可能被我们拍出来的电影！全片靠高密度的对白撑起 却一点不觉得冗长无聊 可见编剧功底已是登峰造极 再想到我们那尴尬的台词 出戏的演技 祝你好运 国产电影
“我觉得，这整个理念的意义要比这个大得多，试想一下，如果它对所有人都适用，没有任何羞耻感，没有任何评判，那将是多么文明的事情。”
▫️接纳自己的身体和欲望，停止对自己的刻薄，是每个人都应该摸索学习的，但是更多时候我们并不一定有这个机会。
题材和表演都很强。以为只是打擦边球。没想到亮点在最后。
甘德小镇的居民用最真诚的心欢迎这一批不速之客，他们好傻，对陌生人敞开大门，也完全不懂“Knock knock”的笑话。但他们好厉害，竟能把惊惧变成温暖，是人性的力量。
这种封闭空间全靠对话推进的少数人的舞台剧型电影，英国人玩的最溜。无论套用什么样的大环境和目的，还是需要靠人物关系推动剧情进展的。两代人观念的碰撞与和解，理解与自省才能达到有效交流。Emma Thompson真的是从年轻美到老，尤其第四段，我爱她布满皱纹的容颜和镜前的全裸
我对里面的叨逼叨没兴趣，我就是看后面 感叹这个 汤普森都63岁的人了，奶子还保养的不错，没有怎么下垂，看起来像30-40岁的。羡慕
太PC了，這種電影現在才被拍出來引起熱議，其實也蠻懊惱的。
年轻的美男性工作者VS教授宗教课程的年长女教师，年轻健硕的男性身体VS苍老褶皱的女性身体。很多设定十分有趣，剧本十分工整完整。探讨了女性一生中的道德桎梏，也讲明了性工作者的道德困境。四次约会，层层递进，一次比一次更深入和放松。人生的list人人都有，往往真正完成的时候都不在预定之中，却更加难忘。
Emma Thompson最后在镜子前欣赏自己的那幕跟张艾嘉在《20 30 40》中很像。

你看，男人招🐓不用前戏，女人买🦆还要先过心里这一关，男人完事拉起裤子走人，女人事后还要更深层次的探讨，一些个两性鸿沟。多一星给男主美好的胴体。
做只鸡做只鸭别做情人，花钱买的至少可爱迷人。
或许他们更多的是心灵交流 肉体只是欲望的驱使吧
QAQ 再看一遍，还是stop the world最戳我 时间好快啊

以为不可能发生的事情，被以为不可能的人性拯救一部分，虽然处处都有现实的痕迹，但是还是能让我们真正相信大爱。之前没看过音乐剧，先是演员调度和布景变化惊叹到我，再往后就被情绪感染，笑了很多次，哭了更多次。印象最深的是圣经的共同语言，和女机长提到最爱的事情被别人用搞破坏。
