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.
卡洛琳以爱为吕西安冠名，然鹅被恶意鼓动起来的野心和时代撕开了吕西安在夏东和德·吕邦普雷之间的人格分裂，直到最后，两个身份全部幻灭——我是谁，我从哪里来，要到哪里去。
3.5. 原著黨全程吐槽。還行，是因為Lucien和幻滅的底子在不可能太不行，但是它改了的設定和為此新增的場次，消除了幻滅裡很多複雜微妙的氣質。Lucien是有過選擇和經歷的，Louis更加是完全不是那樣的。
两个人大笑着，Lucien接着说：
笑死看到有友邻短评说是有声书！！！但我要挣扎着反驳一下起码是广播剧！！！剧中人讲一个幻灭的故事，卢西安是潜入巴黎的一阵风，文学是崇高的，文字却可以是巧言令色，价高者不一定可以笑到最后，但消费主义已缓缓拉开帷幕……每一个进城失意的人都喜欢逃到大自然，因为没人可以再骂他了哈哈哈哈
好的故事，今时今日依然如是，可见其经典，人类进步真缓慢。男女主的表演差了些，其它完成中规中矩。
硬核亨利，冷门佳片，很高兴没错过你。片尾曲加分。
#听说电影获得凯撒奖就去看一眼结果是我天真了
男主画上烟熏妆那个镜头我真的一个爆笑，导演感觉没有太多想象力，电影本身中规中矩，旁白过多甚至有偷懒的嫌疑，无奈巴尔扎克的故事太过扎实，两个半小时丝毫不觉冗长。有机会补个原著。
棋子们并不知道其实是棋手，伸舒手臂主宰着自己的命运 ，棋子们并不知道严苛的规则 ，在约束着自己的意志和退进。黑夜与白天组成另一张棋盘，牢牢将棋手囚禁在了中间。上帝操纵棋手，棋手摆布棋子。上帝背后，又有哪位神祗设下尘埃、时光、梦境和苦痛的羁绊。
溢出的配乐和剪辑倒和故事的基调很搭，刻意的轻佻也不失为成功的改编。
阶级突破后得意忘形，打回原形，忘了自己想要什么！
“巴黎”不仅仅是巴黎，更是世界上任何一座令人向往的城市。如果你想要长久立足于此，认清自己的位置，远比一切都来得重要。
曾几何时，
当时的法国社会是分层的，年轻人有光明而无前途，悲剧收场

单单是这种one's life story can be told的感觉就是近几年久违的了，唯二两部似乎就是这部和《法比安》，结尾的水也跟《法比安》不谋而合。巴尔扎克的底子在那里，节奏掌握好就不会差，不过相比之下预告和海报的感觉莫名浅显，可能会流失潜在观众。算是朝着现代狂奔的法国影业少有的优秀古装片。(P.S.虽说多兰做导演是为了演戏，但现在再看他演戏：这就是多兰自己嘛这也太出戏了...
用传统和渐入来打造“幻”，以制造“灭”的可怕和猛烈
我不信十恶不赦的人会金盆洗手，也不信久经沙场的人最后才发现纹身。
曾几何时，
拍巴尔扎克的作品真的很少见。里面还有多兰，开始还以为我认错了，不看身高的话颜值很打眼，而且演得挺不错啊。
