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).
PTA的风格依然迷人，视听剪辑还是强大，但对于这个故事还是接受无能。
所以说啊…..唉，也没什么好说的。男人至死是屁孩儿，女人至死要当妈。永远的拧巴，永远看不见尽头。
PTA想“四两拨千斤”，可惜招式没耍太明白。爱情的动机不够强烈，完全依靠男女演员的表现吸引我看完它。以及这个片也让我知道PTA一旦开始脆弱敏感忆青春真的挺可怕的（贬义
星途的衰落，投机的创业，心血来潮的参政，途中遇见男女无数，仿佛讲的是两人各自的成长，实则只是年轻人关于年龄和阅历一次又一次的较劲。
调度大师。有机会重看。一点不轻盈，反而拖拽出了时代的痕迹，所以说单纯的“青春喜剧片”真的很片面…不理解部分转折，似乎缺少铺垫，但又似乎是我缺乏感受，和听台词的能力
甘草披萨，芝士蛋糕，莫名的就与《在街上》异曲同工了。但明显更能理解亚洲人的爱情观与思维方式。找不到爱情的火花，想不到奔跑的理由。
相比于大师和木兰花的朝圣而去悻悻而归，PTA这一部我至少看懂了，但不妨碍我仍然选择打三星。影片有一种奇怪的浪漫感，interesting, but not very interesting。进入颁奖季可能跟昆汀的好莱坞往事有异曲同工之处，虽然结果确实处处陪跑。最惊喜的是男主看起来挺灵，原来是已逝的Hoffman的儿子这一点被PTA整破防了。
20220317le。70年代的青春爱情，几个小段落构成，简简单单。男女主角颜值一般。看完想去买个水床。
看电影的过程中想起了索菲玛索的成名作《初吻》
镜头接力跑
7.0 怀旧电影，散漫冗长，最不喜欢的一部PTA。典型的反好莱坞古典叙事，运镜风格独特。
PTA最轻盈的作品，依旧充斥着奇怪和迷人的味道
#加州行观影系列#2.9在Berkeley Landmark Cinema看的（电影院沙发竟然可以躺平，就是老友记里Joey和Chandler家里那种沙发…）。电影讲的是LA，虽然在LA的两天没看成，但在加州看加州也是有些风味了。一个很轻松的青春暧昧小品，还是蛮对我胃口的。
不烂，却也不算精彩。
一种爱谁谁的态度跃然而生
很扎实，几处定格就把人物心理展露无遗，事情的转折看似什么都没讲，但呈现的结果已在情理之中，好笑又大条。
挺有意思的儿童游戏，儿童成人化，第一场戏就能看见大结局，没想到要经历这么多的波折啊。
还是文化差异吧，不是一个成长背景真的很难get
当结尾那道代表爱与希望的强光于20年后再度袭来，PTA影迷必定会心一笑，更加肯定这是用《不羁夜》的色调再度重温青春版的《私恋失调》。大师突然的自我，走不出上世纪70年代的美好，随性随意的作品也有无数镜头值得玩味，如第一次拥抱犹在镜中，青春在不停地追逐和跟拍，爱情也在不断寻觅中修成正果。《私恋失调》5年后出现惊为天人的《血色将至》，有理由期待这是大师又一次起飞前的玩票或游戏。
this is literally pedophilia what the fuck
