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.
一定要去加拿大的甘德小镇旅游。从第一幕到最后一幕，如果说这一天我们失去了太多，那么同样的这一天在地球的某个角落还有这么一群人展现了人的力量。自然而然的，用日漫的语气就是，人类啊，多么渺小又坚韧不拔的生物。
QAQ 再看一遍，还是stop the world最戳我 时间好快啊
没有什么比真诚对待自己和别人更美好的事了，更没有什么比直面自己更勇敢的事了。
爱笑的牛郎技术都不会太差。艾玛汤普森还是很美，表演出色。破除女性的性羞耻和性保守，比起欧美，感觉在国内更有现实意义。and 性心理治疗，只有像 Leo Grande 这样的牛郎才能做到吧。

政治正确含量要爆表了，但就是非常打动人，尤其是「机长自述me and the sky」和「我是岛民」。
1st July 2022。首先要表揚一下只靠幾乎對話表情能撐起整個劇本和故事的兩位角色的演技！其次 作為一個女性觀影 看完之後覺得有點什麼但仔細想要說點什麼 卻啞口無言 想作為自己劇本的主角恍然大悟自己根本沒有劇本好像放在每個人的故事中的npc的一生 遇到這麼一次冒險（有待考究這個冒險的定義）是一次「神秘的禮物」賦予的感動。
感觉Emma Thompson提名个奥斯卡没问题！非常细腻有层次的表演。就是主题上想表达的内容有点多却又没有非常深入的探讨，结尾突兀的冲突与和解也是把前期的平顺柔和给冲突掉了。以及突如其来的sex scene，这情感有这么迸发嘛？！至少男主视角的话我是不能理解的！
没想到主演竟然是艾玛汤普森，真是只有欧洲电影才敢让82岁的老女人做主角，何况这部电影讲述老年女人购买MB获得自身性解放的故事，有很大尺度的裸戏，配戏的MB演员身材颜值都很不错，今年29岁。在电影中是个善解人意堪称性圣的专业鸭子工作者，非常有意思的电影
Oh god hope I will be rich...
豆瓣上剧情简介写的是“性心理治疗师”，哈哈求生欲有点强，不过我很喜欢这片，没看过这样的‘情色片’，很有意思，一个道德枷锁附身的嫖客，开始追求自我感受的故事，快乐最重要
今夜我们无人入睡。
在糖衣包裹的梦幻之后又拔高到另一个层面了。普通人能够共情的角度太多，说教的态度又非常温和，看到的现实都变得有些浪漫了起来。
① 我旗帜鲜明地拥护将这项服务变成公共事业 ② 豆瓣简介真的有点裹小脚了，Sex Worker就是性工作者，没必要说是性心理治疗师 —— 心理治疗师不用自己身体治疗别人，是用谈话，好吗？ ③ 这部戏虽然都在室内，却很注重人物关系之间的情绪流动，这情绪不止是欲望、连接，还有我最喜欢的一部分 “冲突”。它讲的故事其实本质上是不要惧怕冲突，冲突过后是有可能走向更自我接纳、放松和彼此知道对方的界限后的自由。 ④ 我觉得其实它把2个人之间的故事说好就可以了，野心大了一点，涉及到育人和代际，就有点隐没了主线了。但瑕不掩瑜，依然是一部难得的以女性主体视角为唯一角度的佳作。
“你的身体很美，真希望你能‘看到’。”
诙谐温馨的好电影。生命，终究要放下评判、自我主宰。
▫️循规蹈矩，职业普通，生活普通，婚姻普通，不太喜欢自己的孩子，自卑里又带点自负，缺乏冲突感的女主设定确实光滑又无趣。但这样的妇女，不也非常典型比比皆是吗，难道就不值得一说了吗。并不是那些有惊世骇俗故事的人，才可以讨论欲望的啊。
看了一半实在忍不下去了。americanism epitome and condescending PC. 用圣经与黑人交流的桥段令人反胃
电影本质上跟男主是一样的，提供一种幻想服务，重点是 find your pleasure and honor it
没有宏大华美的布景，演员们都要分饰几角，所以舞台场景与角色转换做得相当精巧娴熟。基督徒、犹太教徒和牧斯林同时用各自旋律祈祷和声那段太动听了，还有回程时乘客过安检的慢镜头表演也是神来之笔。最后看到演员与真实人物的合影也非常感动
