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).
法国女人长得简直五颜六色的！文艺份很足，摄影很棒！女导演手法细腻，渐入佳境！
拳头硬了pegging the patriarchy
她曾让我们去思考，为什么煮饭的都是女人，但闻名世界的星级厨师是男人。我第一次面对这样的问题，第一次发现原来“运转良好”的社会秩序当中满是矛盾和对女性的限制。放眼望去，cette discrimination est partout.
伊莎贝拉也是同样的问题，和米拉贝水火不容几十年了，结果两人一起唱首歌就和解了。
作为法国片，难得不拖泥带水。女主虽然不是美上天，但是带观众入戏能力一流。本想做家务电影，但是认真的看完了。二女主感情铺垫不够导致后期的情节不信服。总体好看～
女性题材的电影，对精神病人的压迫让我想到了《黄色墙纸》，很压抑
当你看到他们看不到的东西时，他们把你送进疯人院，说这是为你好
翻白眼了，今年好莱坞几大动画工作室都没有一部能拿得出手的，明年加油吧。★★/4.9
导演🥺🥺it is sooo good to see 导演 on screen 😢
比看coco时流的眼泪还要多。何时不用gift去定义他人的价值，不用大义去压垮他的生活，让人放下被期待的重担去活出真我？The miracle is You. 你最珍贵。
情节、场景偏分散、琐碎，过于强调情绪的细微变化。表达并非深刻，但意图较明显。
到底谁是疯的呢，所有精神病院片子都可以问的问题。三星半
这里的大前提是 女主真的能同亡者交流。那如果她不带任何特异功能仅仅是一个歇斯底里患者呢？ 舞会一年又一年的聚餐 医生的实验对象换了一批又一批 靠着这样一个带着点神秘主义的女性来高举‘觉醒’的大旗 多少有点令人沮丧。
虽然觉得影片拍的节奏挺平静的，可是不知不觉就看下去了，觉得有一种吸引力。好像是一种看起来内敛其实又张扬的东西，然后导演是双鱼女啊，我喜欢，可能这就是法国味？
其实仔细想想，Laâge和M的感觉有些相似。还是值得一看的
掙脫父權社會的枷鎖⋯⋯Nous sommes libres, nous sommes fortes, et nous sommes éternelles.
当银幕前的女性破除万难勇敢奋力地走向幕后，这样的故事一定比她单纯当演员那些更值得被讲述、被看见！
梅拉尼罗兰的自导自演令人刮目相看，完整地营造了一个色调暗淡、配乐阴沉的精神病院，清晰明了的传递女人的不同情绪，从而塑造“疯”这一印象。
迪斯尼划水，总局也划水。7号上映，6号还没下来发行通知，绝了···
