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.
没有戏剧冲突，没有任何夸张，扁平化、按照时间顺序，平淡地展开。可是，表面上看似波澜不惊，却处处反映着生活的艰辛、逼真，以及生命的美好、幽暗，以及盛放。这样拍电影其实很好的，关于电影的东西——情感、故事、生活、导演的立论，以及留给观众电影之外的思考，全有了，而且平静如水。
虽然不是那么从容，不加修饰，但总归也是有诗性与宁静在的，不错。
写出这个故事的人真的好爱生活啊，爱生活什么时候变成一种能力了…
柔光滤镜下醉人的巴黎，用复古格调和footage构造时代感，依旧有你的放下，去工作，去爱人，去再次生活，留住一位夜归人，留住一段即使会离开的感情，抚慰人心的电波，总有归属的家，好舒服好治愈
非常温柔细腻
’会有别人眼中的我们。那些碎片，我们曾以为瞥见的，我们的碎片，会由我们的梦来滋养。我们从来都不是相同的，每一次，我们都只是外来者，是夜旅人，是他们的想象，就像被留在房间里的旧镜子上，那些脆弱的阴影。‘
奇妙的感觉，在向往的八十年代为背景的影片中，出现了最爱的侯麦电影《圆月印花都》。又能瞬间回到那几年，疫情未开始时，有着侯麦记忆的时光。结尾试镜片段，和《冬天的故事》里公交车片段相似。童年时代成长片段再现，时光如涓涓细流，流淌过很多地方，不会再回来了。720p观影，模糊中似乎更还原接近那个年代。圆月印花都的女主26岁生日的前一天心脏病发作去世，这是偶然还是宿命？深夜电台，倾听述说抚慰，学生时代曾向往的工作地。在天台上，在虚无缥缈的微光里彼此虚实交融。
谁不爱80年代，谁不爱巴黎，如此朦胧又温柔。
想起《罗马》，平淡坚韧温馨清贫的日子，也挺好。
写出这个故事的人真的好爱生活啊，爱生活什么时候变成一种能力了…
一部非常稳扎稳打的温情家庭片，细腻却不细碎，人物的状态都出奇地相称，节奏上没有一丝拖沓。甘斯布绝美的气质惊艳了整部电影，柔和却恰如其分的表演让影片的发展沿着不变的轨道前进。可与引用的侯麦电影比却少了些自如，配乐的大量使用有些取巧，以及一些情节的设计感有点浓，略显刻意
不时插入的不同画幅空镜
很喜欢，感受到了导演的心意，那个闪耀治愈的时代，还有人生中无数的关系，有些像小鸟一样落在肩头，有些刻骨铭心的却突然消失了，有些以为永恒的结束了，有些以为暂时的留下了，有些一直陪伴身边的，但一切都这么美好啊
当旅途随故人散去，喧嚣白夜不再拥有私密慰藉的契机，烙印在瞬间的欢愉与孤独总是会在未来的情景中留下线索，成为不愿闯入的经验永远根植在下一段旅程的开场，照映着这片时空存在的绚烂……
躺下
再多糟糕透顶的生活也还不过是在时间的长河中被揉碎，在这么荒诞的一天看这么一部温情的电影，生活中真的太缺少那些让人值得去执着的事了，坍塌的日子也要努力留给自己一些安宁吧。OST很好，曲子值得找来一听在听，张弛间似乎也能感受到呼吸的空隙，那些时间空白格。
以及 奶油焦糖就应该配JoeDassin。配乐太加分了走到心里去的那种 麻麻衣品超棒 有一份优雅在里面。
熟睡的城市，流动的车辆，还有独自徘徊着的人们啊，给自己唱一曲Lullaby，再做个长久的美梦吧。
1.33:1的学院画幅与35毫米胶片交织构建的影像复古感非常强，男演员不时让人想起Jean Pierre Léaud，Gainsbourg怎么依旧能这么瘦啊！故事恬阔得如同在几近黄昏的下午读一本寥寥数语的短篇，房子的场景总能让人代入少时生活，留下一种思乡的余韵。多一星给自己的私心。
看得蛮舒服的电影，喜欢，可能也因为这个故事是从声音展开的吧。白天的巴黎，夜晚的巴黎，都好美。我也曾被F像这样捡回过家。以及，也想爬一下巴黎的屋顶。
