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.
能看出来是伪欧洲艺术片的美国独立电影 不过最后的结尾真的好绝 恐婚恐育只想在电话里当母亲 想要给予爱更想要自由和呼吸 （will sandwich笑到了
Lost daughter翻译为暗处的女儿，有点不理解的，还不如叫丢失的女儿。看完之后觉得，有种全世界都叫我不要生小孩的感觉，而我真的没有在刻意找这方面的电影或者刻意往这方面想，但事实就是现在越来越多以女性为主的电影，而生育又是一个女性绕不开的话题（也是有点可悲）。电影中的女主年轻时候为了追求自己的理想，抛弃了两个年幼的可爱的女儿，女主回忆中的女儿很多时候都是吵闹的惹事的，并没有太多温馨和谐的时候，说明直到现在的中年时期，女主仍然对当时的两个女儿没有太多的眷恋，更多的还是对当时自己的理想的追求。我想到现在，女主还是没有后悔，即使已经有点心理变态的拿走了一个小女孩的娃娃占为己有。女主说她是一个自私的人，我觉得这样的人并没有错。或许错的事，在没有想清楚的情况下生下了两个孩子这件事才是需要反思的。
叙事性不强，但个人感觉又不属于非叙事电影，更像是由各种互文，隐喻，符号的碎片堆砌起来的东西。作为首作来说还算可以。
@Telluride 3.5 女性困境以及“不完美的母亲形象”，dangerously relatable，基本能理解女主的每一个行为。虽然有种美国人装欧洲人的尴尬土味让我时不时出戏，作为首作已经算惊喜
所以说 最后女主是死了吗 应该是吧 给女儿打电话应该是幻想对吗 一个独自度假的大学教授 一个曾经为了事业和婚外情抛弃家庭的女文学青年 一个被海滩上年轻母亲和年幼女儿莫名吸引的中年妇女 因为某种情感的牵绊偷偷藏起了别人的布娃娃 回忆在现实中穿插游走 各种复杂的情感通过现实生活中的一幕幕削骨抽筋 最终她在幻想中醒来 和多年未见的女儿通电话的一幕实在扎心
明明可以讲更多，却陷于情绪的表达，很浪费题材诶
其实这里的“女儿”不仅是影片中的妮娜的女儿，也指代了莱达自己，从她的种种举动和对娃娃的行为来看，刚好对应了“暗处”的意味。而裹挟着这一层含义的又是影片所要探讨的母亲的形象到底是否正面一说。很明显此中对于母亲的刻画是不太正面的，但这也恰好印证了现实中的许多案例。以此带给我们的感受就是无论是否为母亲，再决定接受这个身份前，首先要做好“人”的身份。
费兰特，你真的很会提起大家想彻底忘记的那些事，让全人类都觉得难受🥹
孩子把母亲逼疯，母亲把孩子逼疯并培养成下一批父母，男人在边上“无辜”得像孩子一样。
小说看了个开头，还是忍不住先把电影看了。虽然也只能看英文的翻译，但还是不太喜欢把一个意大利语的故事改编成英文故事。虽然这下完全被剧透了，而且估计之后看书的时候，每个人物都会浮现出稍微错位的形象，至少在目前看来，我本来想象中的那个那不勒斯家庭是更肥胖和粗俗的。但电影的好处是把情绪放大，立体鲜明，那种焦灼和撕扯，让人想要逃离电影却又被牢牢吸引。
演而优则导的吉伦哈尔家姐姐的处女作及格了。现时和回忆双线叙事的剧本结构虽不新鲜，但很考校节奏。奥莉维亚的演技着实了得，以至于年长的女主戏明显比年轻时更好看。话说这片不该加个「犯罪」标签吗？

作为处女作很不错，揭露母职惩罚这一女性共同苦难：奥姨的角色口口声声说自己自私也曾出走但还是回归家庭，这种剧情或者更严重的放父亲们身上只会轻描淡写为浪子回头，这里却成为一生的隐秘伤痕。达妹扮演的年轻妈妈问着像《这个杀手不太冷》一样的问题：人生，是不是一直这么难？没有答案，只能面向大海湿漉漉地接电话开始新的一天（
坞有才女！好几个镜头可以感受到身体的抽搐和心灵的痉挛！
属于那种很“难看”的电影。人总是很难面对自己丑陋的一面。
结尾那一刺，令人惊诧，女主已经那么真诚对一个相似处境的妈妈，还是不会被理解吗？“病态的妈妈”就这么不容于世吗？还是说由于没了娃娃孩子闹真的就糟了那么大的罪，以至于要去杀人？
把文艺片的刻板印象表现得淋漓尽致 莫名其妙的精神病主角 故作高深的台词和画面 配乐还挺好听 本来还因为没看成现场的导演讲座感觉很遗憾 现在很庆幸还好没去看
微微有一点悬疑片的意思，不过还是很克制的。对爱情，对子女，不同的选择会有不同的道路，正在走的道路不见得是错的，但在孤独的时候还是会去思考是不是当时应该走另一条道路呢。
3，不少的段落让我真心感到孩童的吵闹和恼人，所以近年自己是否适合生儿育女要值得商榷了
碎片化的叙事一如按下不表的情感，甚至来龙去脉都不再重要。直观地体验那份焦虑和抓狂。配乐非常加分！对Maggie刮目相看~
