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.
实在好喜欢。青春期的躁动像海浪一样在夜晚舒缓地涌动，隐喻不清的镜头好像镌刻了很多共同的情绪。非常清澈，非常真诚，也非常聪明，很多戏都很吸引人，迷死我了
对索伦蒂诺的功力五体投地 有时候恍惚真的在看费里尼等一众1980年代的意大利流行文化符号 但简直是开了上帝视角 然后靠着马拉多纳的几个细节暗示了时代 虽然有一点细节有过于恶俗狗血的成分但瑕不掩瑜 2022年奥斯卡外语片预定了
对我来说，部分情节这部《上帝之手》中总有一种《西西里的美丽传说》和《晚娘》的感觉。
有时候真诚在电影里真的是难能可贵的情感
小时候常常陪爸看老马进球集锦，所以看到世纪球王撑起一座城的回忆有些共情。故事很富有个人感情但感觉深度上有所保留，从景深构图上也能看出法比奥逐渐被孤立的过程。最喜欢跟卡布阿诺最后那段对话
略显做作，有些地方实在比较刻意。拍得有点急了，碎了。怎么剪都觉得紧。
每个人一生只会讲述一种故事，大多与故乡与童年有关
《绝美之城》导演索伦蒂诺献给那不勒斯的一首赞歌，这座南意大利城市精美建筑与蔚蓝大海构建出如梦如幻的景致，然而又充满着混乱与世俗夹杂的味道，不断演绎着人生大喜大悲的戏剧，让人在短短时间内在天堂与地狱之间蹦极。影片的故事混合着导演自己的经历，有着丰富细节的家族故事，给影片增色不少。马拉多纳像个影子似的，存在于影片之中。他以上帝之手挽救了男主角，随着生活的变故及随之而来的成长，他也淡出画面之外。
父母意外身亡带来的冲击与悲伤，希望通过性启蒙让他振作的伯爵夫人，无畏的走私犯朋友。还有做为那不勒斯时代符号的马拉多纳，这一切都是命运的安排，上帝之手。

还是让人动人、喜欢的一部作品，导演的风格和美学非常统一，几乎可以一下子联想到绝美之城。虽然没有了解导演的过去，但感觉上像是导演的自传，非常纯粹干净的一部电影。孤独而凄美的青春。
豆瓣评论说，这部电影是导演保罗·索伦蒂诺的那布勒斯乡愁。
跟一个意大利姑娘一起看的，她说你离开欧洲之前一定要去那不勒斯。
4/5 一封私人化的真挚的给那不勒斯的情书，细节非常能引起人的共情。青春，意外和突然而来的一夜长大。细节令人温暖且回味无穷。
讲述私人往事的教科书电影——“你有没有故事要诉说？”“你有没有勇气去讲述？”
8.5 那不勒斯的夏天，海浪声口哨声两百码快船的声音。关于生死、原欲、友情、电影。父母去世前还以为两人是在沙发上打盹，这场戏和后面的医院片段写得太好了。
这才是正确的导演私人回忆录的打开方式，甩隔壁的贝尔法斯特好几条街。首先你得有个好故事，其次你长大的地方景色得好，起码得有山有水，谁想看北爱尔兰那几条破街道？最后，你得是索伦蒂诺逼逼才有人愿意看。拍不好电影，因为你不是那不勒斯人
导演的自传体电影中，我最喜欢的是阿莫多瓦的《痛苦与荣耀》，其次就是这部《上帝之手》。和以往索伦蒂诺那种华丽的高度形式化的拍摄方式不同，这次他褪去了所有缥缈浮夸的修饰辞藻，戏谑的姿态转而化为了平易近人的温柔。索伦蒂诺回顾了他的少年时代，关于故乡那不勒斯、父母家庭、性启蒙、还有马拉多纳的巅峰时刻。任何时候当一个创作者愿意毫无掩饰的表露自己内心深处最柔软、最脆弱的那一面，并一层层剥开给观众看，这都是令人敬佩的。或许到了某一个年龄，这些大导演都以某种方式开始回顾自己的一生，坦诚的面对自己。
欲望是船
琐碎平常的记忆会成为最遥不可及的追念，年轻与苍老、欢笑与漠然，相对才能让人从梦中清醒。能有想跳就跳的大海、想bravo就呐喊的Napoli球队，感觉无所求的人生也算齐活了。
