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).
看过现场，重看官摄还是很激动。记忆全部都回来了。有几个演员是发福了啊😂
特别适合这两天疫情和空难的背景下观看，感受善意，寻求治愈。"Tonight we honored what we lost, but we also commemorate what found."
“To celebrate the best of human spirit.”
调度太棒了，转换的简单、自然、流畅和明确。
Where there’s darkness,only light
it's all about recovery and salvation. 能够关照到911之后第二天的日子和远离纽约的加拿大小镇 这个视角太绝了 人文关怀就是如此。当初在伦敦没能看到现场版太可惜了 演员们的转场和角色切换就几乎在一秒之间 情绪拿捏得恰到好处 this is the stage energy
人可以做五天newfoundlander，所以我们还活着吧

第一看这种类型的音乐剧，没有经典音乐剧耳熟能详、令人心潮澎湃的唱段，也没有《汉密尔顿》《Six》那样流行得抓耳又抓眼，扣准现代大众审美，相比之下它的故事铺开得有点平淡写实，但这样的节奏和画面又并不无趣。
It's a celebration of humanity。
音符旋律以及愛是超越文字、種族、意識形態的存在
20年后的911，灾难带来的不仅是伤痛，还有那么多温暖人心的时刻。 me and the SKY我的人生女权曲目之一，太喜欢这个女机长的故事了。唯一遗憾的是2020另一场无情的灾难夺走了我进剧场看LIVE的机会，我恨呜呜呜
因女机长的独白而入坑。前阵疫情的额济纳旗小县城，和剧中的小镇多么相像！
Captain大爱😍😍😍，一对G从枫叶国吵回美帝最后分手，像极了人间小情侣🤣
善意与人性在危难时刻的闪光。哪个文化都有自己的阴暗面，可是最重要的是当人类超越割裂彼此之间的标签与符号，而仅仅是作为个体去尊重与交流的时刻，这样的可能性在今天的世界还存在吗？
二十周年，因疫情关停的十四个月，第一批重回百老汇的观众，和夭折的国内巡演...这一切都让人百感交集而在音乐响起那一刻落泪。即使在这样一个分裂的时代，也可以去相信人与生俱来的善意与爱的力量。Me and the sky依旧是最最最鼓舞人心的女性独唱
当太阳落山时
这才是纪念 911 的最好选材方式，受灾的是平民，也讲平民叙事。世界以痛吻我，我却报之以歌。哪里有黑暗哪里就有光明，哪里有悲伤哪里就有快乐。受限于戏剧的形式很多地方还是要做过多解释，稍显拖沓，改编成电影一定会更好的。
如果只歌颂牺牲、付出和伟大，不歌颂个体、爱和自由，人的意义又在哪里得到区分。
太感动了 从不同的语言一起祷告那里开始哭 im an islander又破涕为笑 me and the sky 太喜欢了🥺
