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).
仪式和幻境段落还算有趣，整体不如预告片。可能总有一天东亚的女儿要鼓起勇气对妈妈说，我没有那么完美，让你失望了。
the further you go, the prouder I'll be
太纯净了，太通透了，太形而上了，每一个词都在谈论肉身，可每一个词却都指向灵魂。进退失据和义无反顾，悔恨与慰藉，衰败与新生。赎尽对他人和对自己的歉意，然后抵达巅峰。
乖惨了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈，成长鸡汤啥的无所谓，难得有个华裔主角故事，还有我们的小熊猫宝！
别人都把我们的文化看透彻了，一些老古董还在装糊涂。
标准的迪士尼动画套路 标准的美式价值观输出
Leo 是 good luck，Nancy 是 take care。不管怎样，又是一部再过100年我们也拍不出来的电影吧
大失所望。➊假；➋狭隘；➌酸腐；➍势利。
emmm…可能看之前被灌输了很多，所以看的时候少了很多惊喜。定位低领化，我也能接受，所以就很顺畅的剧情。虽然最后有被燃到，又燃得有点刻意。
PS：浙江专升本时间由原定的3月26日，推迟到5月14日，所以我的观看这部电影的时间也提前了。日期反复无常，这已经是第二次对22年浙江的专升本时间做出调整了，太考心态了。
「It's a very powerful thing. Sexual fulfilment. It made me feel invincible. I hadn't realised. I wish I'd know sooner, when I was younger. I'd have made the necessary changes. → At least you've done that now.」
无聊版的state of union，毫无电影感，看似以单刀直入谈性色变社会症结的巧妙角度讨论中年女性广泛面临的性羞耻和性压抑，实则还是那套乏味至极的弗洛伊德陈词滥调。第三幕的强行冲突尽显编剧的能力不足。第四幕收尾我们似乎认识了Nancy，但对Leo的塑造远未达到剧本预期的身心彼此探索「疗效」，他依然是个提供欢愉的圣人，仅此而已。作为年轻演员和表演大师在戏剧空间互动的教材仍有意义，但除非对演员感兴趣否则可以直接跳过这部。
通往幸福的路不是一张都能打钩的清单，成为母亲不能阻止骑马穿过沙漠。我是被无聊忽视的母亲，你是被偏见憎恶的弃子。肌肉是让你得到选择的伪装，喷嚏是让他得到自信的迎合。希腊花园里的抚摸是此生最大的出格，说穿短裙的少女是荡妇并非真正的保护。直视镜中自己的身体，衰老不必焦虑，性爱并不可耻。
有点硬，但换个角度想，一些东西为什么会成为“刻板”或许是有道理的。最共情的地方竟然是追星现场……我也好想看线下演唱会啊淦
62岁的英国著名女演员艾玛汤普森的真诚、大胆地演出，保证了此片的质量。年轻女导演探讨女性问题，值得赞赏。
小熊猫好可爱，很怀旧，但是立意还差那么点意思
凑合看完. 老美是想拍熊猫不敢拍,最后换成小熊猫的吧....
关于接纳自己的青春题材动画，故事其实很传统，华人导演也终于将中国元素与全世界都能读懂的主题和情感融合在一起，这才是自然而然的文化输出，不单单是为了迎合某个族裔的口味或者盯着他们口袋里的钞票。
艾玛汤普森太顶了。其实很工整。但就是超坚定的价值观引领的娴熟的叙事，准确的表演让整部戏一点都不boring，完全忘了是个室内戏。
2.人形=超我，需要把前两者封印在一个东西里，去照料它，没有也不行，人就失去了色彩，美美的角色比较理想化，是一个可以跟它和自我和平共处也实现超我的状态
