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.
开篇对白精彩，越来越平庸、乏味。失望至极。时代限制，个人才华衰退……
PTA爱上日剧跑。青春洋溢，真是太甜了。拍特定年代但没有刻意怀旧，拍年轻的回忆却没有故意煽情。不是所有导演都做得到的。
小人物有共鸣，笑料不断，很逗趣，看完开开心心过年不错的。
【A－】观感重回《私恋失调》的同时，也要清楚其与《甘草披萨》的区别所在：以慵懒松散的创作氛围取代精心调配好的焦躁。但剧作却不再如前者那般干净凝练，而是在70s的时代侧写中不断延伸出各行各业的支线，却又迅速将其斩断回归角色关系，实质仍是灿烂情调所包裹的私人回忆。以路径和运动状态来划分幕间转折，于是这对有着十岁年龄差的未成情侣总是往同一方向共行，又或是一方停留一方冲刺。之后在那场精心雕琢的倒车戏里将此前重复的那套交心模式打破，二人关系的倒车仅由重力势能驱动，却是如此惊心动魄。唯一不满的部分还是结尾，停在上一个逆光接吻的镜头显得太俗，停在下一个奔跑的镜头又显得过分工整对仗，终究无法复刻《私恋失调》那恰到好处的眩晕感（或许以电影院门口相撞的镜头收尾才能达成我所期待的诡谲感）。
不至于这么低分吧，比起PTA以往的作品，减弱了更多花哨的运镜，让沉稳的视角跟随着青春浮动的心情，就像躺在水床上吸大麻，一边是怀旧金曲，一边是各种叠印长镜头式的回忆往事。
室内戏为主，虽不是开心麻花的顶级制作，但也算一线水准，魏翔终于成为了男一号，戏内戏外终成佳话。剧本特别好，金句不断，灵光乍现，可惜创意源自日本名剧，算改编成功吧，什么时候我们自己出这种好剧本呢？那一定可以被海外翻拍。开心麻花的优势就团队，所有主配角都演得很棒，开心麻花宇宙即将建成，你看这个小城就是西虹市的影视基地。
虽然有些地方的确挺尬的
PTA写给那个时代与故乡的一封情书。有一些动人的记忆点（比如倒车那场戏和多次出现的奔跑）。
看了一些力图为此片打高分的影评，基本上都在升华，“这不是一部小妞电影，这是在哀悼逝去的70年代balabala”，这逻辑每一点都不成立，主题宏大的电影并不比小妞电影更高贵，怀旧电影尤其不高贵。还是那句话，“怀念童年是很美好，但没人真正在意你的童年”。此处援引柏樵：“这种献给xxx一封情书”式的电影都挺可怕的，很难达到敝帚自珍的干净利落，几乎不可避免地陷入自矜，即便是保罗·托马斯·安德森。
喜欢。70年代的风，随着时代浪潮前行，一来一往的推拉真的让人心潮澎湃，像是在看那种最经典的爱情喜剧。而也时常会担心太多，比如深知他们身处于不同的年龄阶段，会有不同的目标和理应不同的生活，男女主分别做出的几个抉择都蛮有意思，能看出逞强和成熟，也能看出美好的爱本身。虽然只是短短的几个月，也值得一个HAPPY END，最后真的太快乐太快乐了，像是要融化在风里。4.5归5。
本片的靈感來源於喬治盧卡斯的《美國風情畫》和艾米海克林的《開放的美國學府》。是一部非常規的群像電影，保羅托馬斯安德森用幽默的筆觸勾勒出他心目中的七十年代:石油危机，越戰以及競選，令人這個原本屬於私人回憶的青春故事變得斑駁不堪。此片水準和同樣是保羅托馬斯安德森導演講述七十年代的群像電影《不羈夜》和相差甚遠，更像是一部光怪陸離的卡通化小品，編導有意打造的愛情主線也被零碎搶眼的配角們搶去了風頭，削弱了原本的情感力度。除去故事的零碎沉悶外，在攝影，美術以及音樂品味上依舊維持了保羅托馬斯安德森一向的高水準，尤其對懷舊音樂的引用無疑令此片通篇皆流露出一種夢幻般的復古色彩。
很小清新，看完很舒服。简单美好的青春爱恋。
PTA的作品對我一般偏晦澀，此片倒是出乎意料的輕鬆。幾近素人的男女主駕馭得相當不錯，聖費爾南多峽谷70年代的風情畫也是華麗、輕靈，又能有奇妙的代入感。最值得稱道的是内斂著的反文化話題，讓人眼前一亮。
《雨中曲》插得莫名其妙的，出现这个致敬彩蛋的时候我满脸写着问号，这也并不能很好的表现人物内心啊，真的很突兀，就硬凑是吧。
3.5。可以算是家长会爱情类型片的集大成之作。嬉皮士，性解放，石油危机，爱来爱去，游戏人生，七十年代的美国流行文化风情画。所以男主角是什么高中商业奇才吗？
也只有喜剧片能做到了
看侯孝贤看不下去改看了这个，真是没啥意思，麻花自嗨的作品，改得陈辞滥调又一团和气。
采访中说比起年代更多是因为人物而拍，但确实更多被70s vibe打动了，实名人物、具体事件，PTA的once upon a time in LA。从以唱片连锁店名做片名到配乐选曲以及HAIM（而且 Alana 怎么这么会演？？）、Tom Waits 出演就奠定了基调，还有出色的摄影和调色，夏天的味道。私恋失调的光晕再次袭来，霍夫曼的儿子也和霍夫曼一样干了电信销售（电爱）的活儿… 就 feel the vibe 吧 （RioLiv的翻译版本很棒）
【5】以身体或载具的运动来反复进行着道路与情感的双重偏移，在一次次误差中不断调整线路，截然相反却殊途同归，因为世界是圆的！我们终将在尽头相撞：一座富丽堂皇的影院门前。恰是那些随心所欲的闲笔不断撩拨着电影的本质，生意、电影明星、政客乃至暧昧情绪，虚假却栩栩如生，无意义的一切都因被看见而光芒璀璨。
3.5+；男女主成长的时差，也即接收和消化外部环境的失衡感，拧成了影片松散叙事下无可名状的逻辑驱动力。同样是奔跑的动作，一个将躁动且无处倾泻的荷尔蒙用于游猎目标，一个渴望对抗和逃离，假借入世来隔绝内心的钝重。看似圆满的结尾因而渗出些余味，是70年代美国深处历史夹缝、在自知和不自知间摇摆的伏笔，也是专属于PTA的雅谑。当然，诸如对越战、石油危机、过气影星、《出租车司机》等副线的玩弄尚可进一步盘活，让弹珠反射出更夺目的光晕。Alana这种水准的银幕处女秀不给个奥提，也算是妥妥的冤案了。
