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).
没有2020那么好笑了 expectation太高... 喜欢Gemma真的太呆妹了 那个culture commentator是不是影射Fran Lebowitz lol
今年看的第一部是2020去死，最后一部是2021去死，都得死，收工！
田园风光配上柔和的光线以及男女主的颜值已足够养眼，至于剧情倒是没有太多惊喜吧
希望明年不要再看见它了。Also, they just mark Taiwan as a country. So just go to hell.
回忆的穿插好残忍好残酷，但还好有荷西极致的爱恋，不管不顾的爱，看完才明白爱是放手，如果她还能回到你身边那她才是真的爱你，可是谁又能做到如此呢
片尾说着“体认到彼此都是真实的人类，花时间倾听”，通篇表现的却是把喊话对象想象成没有理性能力的乌合之众。阴阳怪气只能让同温层里的人爽过，过后还是各走各路。揶揄的是无知，而展现的却是傲慢。
依然諷刺的文化觀察，2021年世界依然糟糕，希望不要有下集了。
我不知道谁会是我的救赎.在被别人救赎前希望自己可以成为自己的那道光
在遭遇痛苦之后，意识到自己的一小部分已经永远死掉，但剩下的大部分依然存在，支撑着我们继续去爱、去生活，只因为“心脏是一块恢复能力极强的小小肌肉”———这是所有人命运唯一的相似之处：一切的一切，不过是在无意义中发现意义，在godlessness中验证god
爱得太突然，这谁信啊，除了enfj本身
晋江言情小说实锤了，男主简直是教科书般的情人，女主也成长了好多；女主的金发配上阳光和麦田色调治愈
When you realize 2022 is pronounced "2020 too"…
如果不是基督徒 估计看不懂里面的寓意 难怪分这么低 评论这么歪
虽然阿富汗在运动会上没有拿金牌
答案是：
直视黑暗，是为了面对光明时更加诚实~
质量挺高的一部小众电影，没想到豆瓣评分只有6.9，所以特意下载豆瓣看看评论，探个究竟。
女主前面反反复复实在太作了，还好最终还是被治愈了……男主人设100分，还有男主女主颜值实在太高了，冲着颜值打的分……很般配！！！！！！哦对了，女主衣服帽子都好漂亮啊！！！！！！！
女主对被摧毁过的爱和信任的重新接受。除了开头的突然爱上很奇怪。
十几岁的我会相信单纯的不求回报的爱情，相信有michael这样的好男人，相信一见钟情；但我已经不是十几岁了。
