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).
跟着导演的视角变化 对过去与未来不断问询 试图寻找答案 又在平静的接受着自己的生活 随着受访者和城市街道的变化 导演内心的平静从未改变 华金菲尼克斯对细腻名干的内心捕捉的到位深刻 但导演对现实和问题没有加入很多自己的思考 没有点题和深化主旨
成长过程中，我们不断调整表达方式，改善情绪的抒发方式，但可能变得越来越不诚实，不坦率，口是心非，也可能让某些亲密的关系在阴差阳错之下失之交臂越走越远。有时候从孩子的角度回看，可能会修复分叉，得到疗愈。
这几年观影量大减, 好像都不是以前的自己了; 这算是 2021 个人最喜欢吧, 简直像找回了当时在 Alice Tully Hall 被 Her 镇住的时光; Oh, to have an uncle like Joaquin. ❤️
情绪的不断变化，脆弱敏感又如此吸引人，可以一直一直拍下去。
哎，差点没哭瞎了，赤诚的情感流动，in terms of emotional life we all need to be repartented 也想做一个这样的妈妈
「深沉而轻盈」，这应该是很舒缓的一部电影，可惜我最近太焦灼不安了，这100分钟里我时而睡着，时而切换去做别的事情，实在不能静下心来。不能在对话里获得慰藉，不能感受到关系的修复和延伸，我浪费了这部电影。
慢慢的大人眼里的孩子可能除了岁数小之外，就没什么需要照顾了。亦或者大家都是小孩，在心里都有着不为人知想要被拥抱的伤心之处。
哇，好棒，被一个九岁孩子上了一课，黑白画面能让人更沉浸在故事里
非常舒服、温柔的一部电影。城市里各种场景的切换，叔侄之间的日常对话和相处细节，侄子的每一个提问，不断推着人思考。Phoenix真的太神了，上一秒感觉他随时要癫狂成小丑，下一秒他举着麦克风自言自语的时候又幻化成爱上AI的那个男人。每一个都是他。
超级温柔的电影，虽然底色有些许的残酷。人的成长，就是在不断接纳自己的不完美，大人孩子莫不如此。能在探索的时候遇到理解、包容、引导自己的人，是人生中的幸运。我理解有人认为影片矫情：“大人没有正经工作，孩子不好好上学，整天光谈一些没用的话题”。经过社会驯化的我们，与其说不屑于影片中的交流方式，毋宁说没有勇气在那样的维度放开自己，所以我们活得有效率，但是活得也够憋屈。杰昆菲尼克斯演得太好了，每一个表情和动作都有解读空间，不愧影帝。
我倒是没有很强烈的这种感觉
原来也有滋儿哇乱叫的可恨儿童牙刷，有声周记分外美丽
去掉了加州、纽约和新奥尔良的色彩，以一种更加冷漠的视角去观察生活、聆听对话，犹如给你一杯白开水，平淡却依旧润泽。
蛮温柔且温暖的，小男孩和华金的表演很好撑起了影片。
Very beautiful, if only we all had amazing adventures and amazing people like these when we were growing up. There will be so much for you to learn and feel, things you would have never expected to happen:)) also, I miss California and New Orleans so much.
你问我，你会忘记这一切吗？我说，你会忘记这一切。你看上去又生气又不解。所以我打算把这一切都录下来，作为对你的提醒。
天真语言的世界人生沉思，混剪轻柔的影像适之
很舒服又有爱的电影，华金菲尼克斯和小男孩的互动很温暖，故事和节奏不是特别吸引人，但很多台词写的很棒，喜欢里面对小朋友们的采访片段，单拎出来做成纪录片一定会非常有趣…3.5
It's OK to be not fine!
