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).

很美丽的童话，爆笑了好几次，跟想象的大红狗真的不太一样
喜欢狗狗的电影，尽管情节很简单，满满的都是爱
The first part in B/W could be seen as a journey to bid his brother a moving adieu by transporting the ashes of Pirandello, whose works have been adapted by the brothers, to his Sicilian homeland. Whereas the second part in color is quite confusing for us who have never read the story before. The shift from grey to color is poetic though
7.1分，这算是反英雄电影吗？我对高文的事迹也略知一二，简单来说，他可以对标我国的赵云，是白马王子这个词的来源。结果导演找了个印度人来演高文，关键是人物塑造的既无脑又怂，剧情也晦涩难懂，不过毕竟也是一次大胆尝试。
低龄治愈片～虽然我已经回想不起Clifford 长什么样了，但看的时候感觉还挺欢乐的
儿童，宠物，童话，降智的永远在抢夺路上的反派，嗯套路雷同也就算了，但是演的真的有点差啊，演技呢演技。。。
我很喜欢讲述人类和狗狗感情的电影，虽然剧情俗套可是感情在
画面很美，台词很美，服化道很美，配乐很美，但这故事讲得…真的有点无聊…不得不分四天才看完，也不是高困，就是想干点别的。
？？？啊这。。。黑人问号脸。。。虽然不知所谓，不过进击的巨人那段有点意思
#Berlinale72主竞赛 影片开始后出现字幕“献给Vittorio”🥺有的电影看时会感叹“只有他/她可以拍出”，Taviani兄弟的电影便是如此；有的电影看时会感叹“只有年长之人可以拍出”，本片即如此。片中渗透着对文学大师、电影大师和电影艺术无限的敬意与爱。希望……额，算了，我还是别希望了，祝福如东海寿比南山🥺🥺
骨灰、棺材、坟墓，死亡是主题。沉重的历史缅怀＞盖过了这部电影本身。
漫步石林的那段黑白图像，我愿当作今年十佳。黑白到彩色的过渡很自然，就像时间在脑海里的痕迹，生活终究是有色彩的，希望每个人都能在告别里学会珍惜
7。#72ndBerlinale//费比西奖
Wow, 好久没有这种观影体验了：看到四分之三的时候我还跟乔老师说怎么还什么都看不明白，看完后四分之一突然豁然开朗，谜题解开留下无穷回味。有些情节看上去玄之又玄，其实故事不过是一场简单的关于骑士精神的试炼，如何面对自己的虚伪和懦弱，如何化解面对巨大权力时虚妄的执念。精彩！
可能是对亚瑟王故事多少有点概念，所以对导演的各种隐喻和杂糅不反感，但是我也保不定如果是个其他故事我会不会还觉得这是个有趣的电影。镜头很漂亮。
原以为是商业片，但是没想到遭遇了这种中世纪舒缓叙事（坑爹的预告骗#%）
「罗伊安德森」式的开场，以路易基·皮兰德罗的骨灰为引，塔维亚尼讲述的依旧是关于「思念」的故事。黑白部分惊为天人，当骨灰从封闭的公墓中移出，骆驼牌香烟比剧作家的尊严更为实际；不愿与它同乘一架飞机的乘客，在逃离前却以深躬聊表敬畏；魂归故里之时，需占用了婴儿的棺椁才可容身；不明所以的民众，以孩童之玩笑奔走相告聊以取乐。张力十足的镜头语言与穿插其中的真实影像拼接造就了无与伦比的历史美感，非常出众。与之相比《钉子》的故事则更偏向于「混淆视听」类电影。即仅靠画面与色彩的视觉冲击来支撑空虚且苍白的艺术创作。这也像极了由「真实主义」转向「怪诞现实主义」并获得诺贝尔文学奖的主人公路易基·皮兰德罗，虚无且矫情。三星全给前2/3。
巨型狗和人的相处，就喜欢看这种反差，全程欢乐搞笑又冒险刺激
A Side 和 B Side 都蛮喜欢。Oh my old Green，why do you looked so blue？
