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.
第78届威尼斯国际电影节最佳影片金狮奖。题材很好，虽然这类题材已经有一些了。但永远也不嫌多。
时空错位的感觉最令人震惊，好几次以为这部电影的时间设置是当代... 疼痛和无力感仍然正发生着
与《四月三周二天》《从不、很少、有时、总是》类似，女性意外怀孕的后果总是交由女性独自默默承受。
对，我就泪点低——所以在一部喜剧片里还是有被科幻的浪漫与人类的力量感动到。
Realistic and relevant
此類題材看的第三部了。《四月三周兩天》《维拉·德雷克》《正發生》； 西方國家認為墜胎等同於謀殺。
Evgueni & Sasha Galperine配乐
第78届威尼斯金狮奖！以关注女性个体的苦难，来映射社会性的压迫感。可视的艰难与痛感，导演技法流畅规整，女主角表演亦不逊色。
60年代、女性堕胎、第二性
抛开东欧剧变后的时代背景，从技法纯熟度上，法国这部要好过能作为罗马尼亚新浪潮皇冠的《四月三周两天》（当然那是另一种技法）。不过，也有点不理解故事所发生的1950年代和法国小城为什么当时会这样？可能是对当下的欧美性别平等习惯到理所当然，以至于忘了不久远的历史样貌吧。对于少女命运，以为会有一个开放式嘎然而止的结局，没想还是比较善意地让她拥有了更多的人生可能性。女孩脸蛋，也太像年轻时的凯拉奈特利了。
而且就觉得火星救援它不香了。
题材貌似是近来全世界的风向标。女权一直在进步，离不开文艺工作者的努力。故事主题很清晰诉求，女性的权利其实也是人的权利，就是区别于动物的权利。有真诚的诉求，有虔诚的态度。
我看的太难受了 女孩太难了 非常法式的高强度的跟拍特写镜头前仿佛亲历一场堕胎 特别喜欢阳光下陷入沉思的各种片段 太感同身受了 没错 发生在60年代的法国 如今依然“正发生”
贯穿始终的浅焦特写和跟拍镜头，镜头对女性的身体和欲望也并不避讳，画面最优先关切的，始终是当事女孩本人的状态——生理与心理两方面的。是啊，怀孕与堕胎，本就首先是关乎生理、关乎女性自身的，而后才能言及时代、社会、家庭或者其他种种，这是迟来的、属于女性作者的自我关怀。
题材好，拍得差，拍得是个什么？连流水账都不算上，以正向时间为序，一个接一个的单调场景像是在逛片场；看完整部电影，愣是还不了解主人公是一个怎样的女生，只是像个遥控人一样被导演操纵，很迷惑。所以明明是个很尖锐的、可以向时代发声问责的题材，拍出来就是像哆啦A梦中大雄的表情包语句一样——「你把大家叫出来就是为了这事啊」。不否认三大电影节的含金量，但是否认这部金狮子。
有机会再看带字幕版本的，在arena lido的放映并没有英语字幕，全程只能靠意大利语字幕猜。
一部看简介就足够了的电影，女孩如何争取自己女性堕胎的权利，好了，开始共情吧，电影看不看不重要。
1960年代的姑娘怎么不会保护自己、怎么还敢这么随便、怎么……——2020s的我边看边这么想着。猛然警醒，又回到《钛》里女主为钛金属侵入身体痛不欲生的场景，“女孩要懂得保护自己要洁身自好”这套思想钢印去也去不掉。欧洲电影始终走在前面：21世纪的每个女人都要警醒，不要变成男权社会帮凶，我们才能互救。标题高亮。
一种平均主义的文本，生理疼痛、环境压迫和女性意识被同等程度地强调，同时用中近景跟住人物，揭示她的心路历程。能看到一个坚毅的女性形象：尽管没能得到任何社会支持，她还是要把选择权掌握在自己手里，并且欲望与快感并未完全被焦虑情绪所掩盖。很难说《正发生》有什么明显的短板，但无论是和蒙吉的《四月三周两天》抑或夏布洛尔的《女人韵事》相比，它都没能提供更强烈的视听表现或是新鲜的视角（但我也开始反思，痛感是否应该成为评判此类作品的标尺，这种赤裸的展示又是否包含对人物的剥削），不过在“反堕胎法案”得到通过的当下，它是一次对女性权益不可或缺的重申。
