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.
现在看到这种片子想的竟然是“这么多暗喻和讽刺居然能过审”。是我不对劲还是这个时代不对劲了？
自我感动是创作的毒药，哪怕良心上的。
胶片质感 还有一些私人影像
3.5，让人很舒服的一部“怀旧”之作，也有部分不同画幅的素材加入，让一个中年女性重新开始，和儿女之间也没有drama的青春叛逆的冲突，一切都是淡淡的，PS 导演是个侯麦粉丝

室内悬疑惊悚剧本杀题材 实力派演技碰撞火花太精彩 情节抓人 前半段还有很多的笑点 结尾的反转令人深思值得回味 很多真相可能不便明说 但想知道真相的执着不可忽视 记忆最怕被遗忘 致敬敢于说真话的有良知的人们 沉浸式观影体验非常棒的一部片子 不足之处就是女孩两次唱歌特写镜头对口型瑕疵较大会在当时稍微影响观感【中兴cgv

走出人生中的些许失意，夜旅人的上镜头瞬间在巴黎夜景中显得格外动人。
影片的最后 看到他们拍出的还是一个烂片 我觉得这是一个点睛之笔 他们还是他们 不可能因为有了一个高尚的目标 就真的能够弥补他们所有的缺陷 一切终究只是 理想主义 最后还都死掉了 有点黑色幽默的意味了
当然，后面又反转了，它们就是两个案子。
充满感性的电影，生活尽管有挫折，但还是可以温柔而饱含爱意的对待身边的人，是让人温暖的电影。新的爱情出现的时候，回想以前受伤的情感，会感恩这个在身边为你的事情而忙碌，认真对待你的人。
过于私人化。完全是对于80年代的个人想象，真正那个年代的模样参考侯麦。
On sent une douceur palpable mais aussi quelques banalités.
万合网感一直都特别好，所以虽然大量文戏，但笑点密又节奏好，打我马那里真爆笑如雷，离谱的对白但就是荒诞好笑！主要角色的火花碰撞都很可爱！选角合适演得又好，听他们扯淡能听一天的水平。梦蝶视角刻画女性互相理解支持真的特别好，邓家佳虽然现在脸有点点假，但没影响表演还是很生动的，有两场戏，眼神还是很打人。

“我一开始所想象的生活不是这样，但我们还是尽力去热爱它了，对吗。”
整个故事并不是没有破绽，他说是久等不到才临时起意去救人，这根本不可能。门外都是三老的保镖，就算他真的把这些保镖都解决了，也不可能都不惊动里面的人就直接进去把人杀了，只有可能是里应外合。里面的那个正是夜莺。当时爬行的夜莺冷静沉着，不是被蹂躏了的状态。
一切都淡淡的，哀伤淡淡的，激情淡淡的，美也淡淡的。女主好好看，坐在窗户那儿抽烟好美。一边给儿子准备早点也可以抽着烟（我们拍要被喷死吧？）多元审美多好。我们为什么老停在白幼？
