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).
西部片一直是心头好，再加枪战更是必看榜首……比起60年代著名的镖客系列差点，贵在短小精炼、紧凑有序、故事完整，小哥颜值超高，荐！
好帅嗷嗷嗷，进度条撑住啊啊啊啊啊，前方高能细细品味 ，你看你看
Whoa! You are him! 我的老伙计！大场景，小故事，大人物！千万不要剧透也不要看别人介绍，好棒！4.5星！
UGC发邮件邀请的神秘首映，去看之前连是哪部片都不晓得。印象中很少看这种法国古装电影。
人间喜剧，根据原著改编的很好，追名逐利的最后失去了很多，原来一切都是幻灭。
3.5分，敘述很平淡，但故事的本身很“巴黎”，很現實殘酷，出身低的外省人，想靠才華與打扮跟貴族平起平坐，簡直是自掘墳墓。巴爾扎克把巴黎人的勢利寫到骨子裡
一些阶级鸿沟是靠努力也无法跨越的。这么多年过去了，媒体和娱乐业还是这副鸟样。内森真的好爱卢西安。
He stopped hoping, and started living. Everything has a price, even for the eternal restplace. In Paris, things are on sale, on display. There are trades everywhere, you trade your soul for money, for sex addiction, for social status, even for a little respect. Never learned the rules, you trade everything for nothing. Game over, illusions predues.
过山车的经历…来回摇摆，树敌太多，也算精彩过
没有看过原著也没有怎么看过法国年代剧并且没有完全听懂，但觉得还不错！
空虚的人生故事被很充实地表达了出来，吕西安和他的女伴们都有一颗赤诚的灵魂
根据巴尔扎克同名小说《幻灭》里的吕西安那一条线改编，文学性强，观赏性也不差。真是“美梦易醒、韶华易逝、镜花水月”般的幻灭。看完联想到了为了梦想在大城市漂泊的那些人，像吕西安般结局的人是不是大多数？
这让我突然又想起了《燃烧女子的肖像》来，二者都用到了维瓦尔第的四季小提琴协奏曲，区别在于烧女图是将全片的情绪积压在最后来以配乐的方式而爆发出来，但幻灭又不那么强烈，他更多的是以小提琴协奏曲的激烈情绪表达主角处境的剧烈震动，再然后带给观众较为饱满的情绪表达。两者用法完全不同，但这并不影响他们各自在配乐上的优秀。
巴尔扎克看穿了欲望的本质啊……一切的龌龊和堕落几百年没变过。有了巴尔扎克的文本，电影已经成功一半了
终于看到了一部有劲儿的电影？爽，终于没有虚度一个午后！
4.1 人物的溃败从开头的自负就可以看到了，这种人物阶级的向上流动，没有人格魅力的话，就是两种极端，无脑爽文或无聊冗长
巴黎是流动的盛宴 这部电影就是盛宴的终末 揭示了浮华下的虚伪与残酷 他的品质，梦想，本性以及自我随着时间一起幻灭 整个地球就是一个牢笼 巴黎或许是枷锁最繁琐也最缥缈的一座
真好看。起这个名字真恰当啊。我们拥有过幻梦一样的快乐，财富和地位，最终却依旧变得一无所有，长了一张初恋般脸庞的女孩去世了，最初的坚持也破灭了，好像一切都变得很干净，如我们来到这世界的第一天。
总结来说，这是一部值得肯定的优秀的影视作品，学院式，古典主义，但可看程度也很高，值得观看。
也许是对每一个无法改变时刻的最好回敬。我们本就没有带来什么，所以最后我们也不用期望带走什么。就让记忆永留，刻在我们和他们的心中。
