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.
拍一个导演的自我拆解过程来进行自我拆解，除了洪尚秀也没谁了吧。
由对话组成的影片，文学性很强，同时大量的长镜头也考验演员水平。
对洪常秀没什么感觉，但是金敏喜姐姐好美呀，能感受到导演对她的全部偏爱，可以说这部电影就是洪常秀给她的情书。虽然镜头大部分时间都追随着小说家，然而我们都知道真正的主角是谁，一遍一遍的“你真漂亮”，毫不吝啬的称赞和维护。很喜欢他们几个人一起聚在桌子上喝酒谈天，过往纠缠和新生情感不分彼此地连在一起。电影大部分时间都是固定镜头，单调安静地令人着迷，但是金敏喜给洪常秀注入了一丝生机，就像戈达尔镜头下的安娜卡里娜，最后金敏喜姐姐扎着凌乱的头发拿着花笑得开心的样子，轻轻一声“我爱你”，黑白变为彩色。
给微不足道的小事赋予夸张的意义，并且去假装自己是能感知这些的人，是一个沉重的负担。去年的这个时候我还在上影节赶场，好几个湿漉漉的雨天交织在一起，今年直接躺平～（啊！被甜到了啊！
看的第一部和疫情直接有关的电影，在经历的这一两年难称为顺利的困苦中，听到演员们集体朗诵Sir Edward Dyer my mind to me a kingdom is, 边吃面条边流泪
随意中的拘谨
导演 “Vlog”拍完啦 他们的社交真的完完全全韩国社会的拐弯抹角说话方式 尴尬就笑 十句里八九句都在互夸 害 但当自己在用韩语说话也会不知不觉以该标准的方式来对话
情感很细腻的电影，我没看懂的电影统统归为诗意叙事。
欧美防疫一塌糊涂，但电影层面人家确实拍的好，至少这样的题材很少追求高大全，永远落在个人的故事上。两个主演真的是演技炸裂，看得有点心酸
前30分钟漫长虚伪的相遇、对话（除了导演借导演之口剖白部分），假惺惺不经意间满屏流动，对比日式常见的程序式客套，韩式客套有一种等聊完就相互背刺的惊悚感，好像在看恐怖片，可怕的“他者即地狱”！
金敏喜像是小鹿一般浑身上下散发着柔和的光。剧里剧外，女演员是否在因爱自断职业生涯，抑或这是她追求并正享受的生活，这个就不得而知了。
最近几年看每一部洪尚秀都会开始思考时间对人的作用，然后发现它可以是很动人的。
第一次看洪尚秀的电影，不知道是不是选错了片。。。没话找话的对白，固定不动的镜头，甚至站在厕所门口也能尬聊七八分钟。我甚至怀疑自己是不是真的看了一部电影
一部像是洪常秀的自传的电影，电影中的小说家就像是他自己，他拍的不是纪录片，他只是把他观察到的事与物，还有人与人之间、人与事物之间的关系表达出来，无论是男人之间的对话，或者男人与女人之间的对话，或是女人与女人之间的对话，亦或是一群人的对话，都在表达着那些没有被直白给出的话语与话语之间以及背后的故事，至于是什么故事，那些故事的真相又是什么，就像是电影结尾处，女演员在看过小说家的电影之后的表情一样，可能是愤怒，也可能是疑惑，或是错愕，但最后的最后，全凭观众自己去体会。
上乘之作，浑然天成。洪导演真的很能分别女人是否有脑子。黑白画面有匠人之感了。
纯粹的好看，人物状态极其凸显，期待他们性格的展开和碰撞，让人想透过屏幕一探究竟，看过即忘即可
只能說劇本還不錯吧，但作爲一部主角只有一兩個人的大女主影片，Jodie Comer的演技還是無法打動到我……
好多长镜头……剧情好平……为最后的几分钟加一星吧。
哈哈哈，原来如此。想一想这部电影是如何诞生的更有意思，很可能是先有了后面的散步录影，再拍成一部电影。找了下采访，果然洪尚秀说他是受到以前拍的一个小片段启发，那个片段不是拍给任何人看的，没有任何表达意图，非常自然。今天下午出门散步带了他提到过的《电影书写札记》，里面在说差不多的事。
看洪常秀，一种仪式。地球不爆炸，老洪不放假
