This early 70's giallo by Umberto Lenzi is certainly among the best in his filmography and also in the whole genre. Personally I think Lenzi's best films are the funny cartoon-turned-film Kriminal, the stylish giallo Seven Blood-Stained Orchids, the explosive Napoli violenta and this. In the eighties he did plenty of film trash in form of Eaten Alive, Hitcher in the Dark or Black Demons, all of which are ripping something off and/or very dull and slow moving. Knife of Ice came when the giallo boom was at its hottest and the result is convincing.
Technically the film is superb, containing great cinematography in the beginning when we learn about the main character's trauma towards trains. From this point on, Lenzi shows us his ability to benefit the widescreen and, for example, the bicycle ride near the forest is genuinely beautiful! This scene also shows Lenzi's ability to build suspense, very slowly but meaningfully. After all, there aren't so many murders in the whole film, only the suspense circulating around the murderer's identity.
One suspect is a devil worshipper which brings new aspects to the mystery. Since the final scene takes place in a church, one can wonder if Lenzi wanted to comment on something, maybe the hypocritical morale of church and superstition. The main character (Carrol Baker) is mute which demands a lot from her face and eyes. The actress works very well, giving us a believable performance circulating around the emotions of fear and mental pain. The other actors are good, too. The finally, however, may not give too positive a sight about female sex since they all are expressed rather negatively in the film, one way or another. Still this is easily among the most noteworthy in the genre, not as bloody as the Argento films, for example, but equally suspenseful and visually also interesting.
诙谐幽默充满转折
反正比我的车好，台词太舞台了，虽然文本很美就是了
喜欢看男同的中年危机，病院老头是我看本片的唯一心情
非常欣喜能看到如今的LGBT电影能够走出以前的那种题材范围，而探索更加丰富和普世的命题，让同性题材褪去猎奇的外衣，收获更多的共鸣，美中不足的是如果家庭关系、社会环境能够讨论得更加深刻一点就好了，而不是像片中片那样，点到即止，少了些回味。
一对同性夫夫和他们儿子的故事，笑中有泪泪中带乐，意大利人的幽默和抓马太招人喜欢了。涉及到领养试管婴儿友情亲情爱情和青春期等多个议题最后升华到爱的本质。在幽默诙谐中让人思考好多问题。当我们还在为二三胎发愁的时候，人家已经开始为非血缘领养与同性离婚孩子归属问题开展探讨了。到底血缘和爱哪个更重要，或者说这两者到底有什么正反向关系。
但亮点不是同性婚姻之间的争吵与孩子在特殊家庭中成长面对的问题
片尾的那些红色绳子圈出了爱情所有的不忠。我和别人做爱，但我爱的始终是你，这感觉好像也没什么毛病。嗐！
喜剧部分还行就是两老gay完全看不出在一起二十年，在一起二十年的人肯定不是这样
确实看着保罗一个人的时候挺难受的，出轨了 还偷腥两年 两年前 儿子也大了吧 别告诉我怕伤害儿子 一边维持婚姻 一边偷腥 这理由我是不能接受的 保罗不合适的理由也没给出来 就说是双方的错 我错nm 二十年 可怕
共同的经历和情分造就了人之间的联系。但我还是很不喜欢 出轨是两个人造成 的说法。
現實是會和解的家庭太少太少了，Paolo怒吼Leone的時候只覺得如果每個孩子知道自己遲早要面對這些傷痛，會不會寧願沒有來過這個世界？（另：弟弟太好看了，Leone你確定不用再深度探索一下自我？
继《爱你，西蒙》后的又一部平常态同志喜剧。希望以后能多出这种风格的电影。
温暖 有趣 真实 爱情之上有个孩子真的不一样 7.75/10
痛并快乐着的青春历程，
很有新意。从孩子的视角看同志父母和异性恋没啥区别，照样可能出轨、撕逼、离婚。但片中的父母已经表现得比大多数人成熟多了，最后能做好朋友。意大利人真的容易很情绪化啊。
喜剧的元素和情节处理得不如同类型的孩子们都很好般巧妙，演员很努力，怎么说人家能出少数群体的家庭drama都比某敏感脆弱的繁殖大国进步很多啊
和所有“普通人”家庭一样，自然无差别的琐碎生活故事。但我不认同出轨是两个人的事，背叛就是背叛，不要找理由
劇情就還挺鬧騰的，不抓馬就不是義大利人了，也説明血緣絕對不是維繫家庭的唯一羈絆，愛才是。
什么叫质感，简直太棒了！故事已经被演绎太多次，没有更多的惊喜。看看画面和精湛的表演吧。
我在这部电影中看到了我曾想象过同性爱情的样子
