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.
想起《罗马》，平淡坚韧温馨清贫的日子，也挺好。
一群受伤的人一起努力的追求美好生活，很温暖很私人。
零碎的影像记忆，他们的突然离开就像他们的突然到来。
没有去过巴黎也没有见过塞纳河所以塞纳河河流湍急吗？不急的话我能不能形容本片就如同平缓的塞纳河一样温柔
寒夜里的慰藉，迷茫时的拥抱，无需过多的动机思虑，无需未来的远景构思。
#Berlinale Competition# 《宝石长袍》看了半小时放弃了跑来看这个，真好看啊，气质特别迷人，一会就给代入进去了。温柔静谧的夜空，行色匆匆的旅人，80年代的巴黎，虽不曾至但心向往之。一个普通家庭、一个平凡女性和她周围人的故事就这样缓缓流淌，淡淡的轻轻的，所见之处尽是导演对历史还有电影的感伤怀旧，演员好，音乐品味也好，希望有大奖啊！最后妈妈送给孩子礼物那段直接看哭了，想起我妈妈以前也有写日记的习惯，她告诉我，在认识我爸之后，她发现记录的都是伤心的事情，于是就不再写了。我没有看过她的日记，也不敢看，或许是我还不够勇敢吧。想到这里，再看到电影里的情节，就情不自禁地感到难过。
四个人拥在一起笑着起舞的画面真的很法国很迷人
好温暖，80年代的巴黎一隅。喜欢他们的大客厅
没啥意外惊喜，但反正米夏埃尔艾斯的电影我能一直看下去
慢慢地情调，却挡不住现实里的悲哀。爱与被爱面临的却是一个家庭的撑起，女人自强自主自助，却永远在混沌中不知方向，犹如夜色里的不归客，茫然，却向往着远方。最后的落点当然不是那杂乱无章的爱情，最后的落点只有可能去支撑女主，坚持下来的那份亲情。
还有一位流浪巴黎的女孩
转角大窗户可太美了。白天晚上都美。女主就是那种表面上问题一大堆，很脆弱，易受伤害，然而问题都能柳暗花明，塞翁失马，遇人都淑，只要对生活轻言细语，就绝不会遭遇生活真正的铁拳，的幸运鹅啊！
真的非常·没意思。甘斯布的角色依旧是悬浮的，就算住在13区的HLM里，还是如梦似幻的巴黎女人。想要诗化巴黎，好呀，但别为了怀旧而诗化。
太美了 巴黎的夜晚 天将破晓的时刻 人与人之间的相濡以沫 都太美了
巴黎，夜，旅人，好喜欢那个大窗户，喜欢到想攒钱买个大平层的程度
想的一直是公寓好漂亮窗景好漂亮，能呆坐看一天的霞光和夜色。旧电影新际遇，三更时分的电台私语，步履自由的城市漫行，爱上这样的夜晚完全不用克服多少困难。片子像是捣碎了某种抗抑郁药的粉末，治标不治本地抚平不宁，副作用是犯困。
连看了三部米夏埃尔的作品，皆是一流的摄影和色彩，音乐品味也很不错，总能把一些漫不经心的日常小事，拍出轻盈浪漫的文艺感，在慢悠悠的节奏里，注入深沉浓烈的情绪，慰藉而治愈，脱离了此类片子极容易陷入的无病呻吟的小资趣味，美的精致而充实。非常喜欢。
既去年有人把伯格曼当工具人之后 今年侯麦也没幸免。
深夜电台和漫无目的游荡的夜晚，温柔的力量。法国女人真的优雅。
属于夜旅人的夜电台
