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.
我觉得加菲是我今年看过的所有歌舞片里最好的非音乐剧出身的演员了，不过他和希普的声音还是跟哈金斯没法比。
放在电影里看是好看的音乐剧，放在音乐剧里看是好看的电影，即便能感觉到林聚聚还有加菲已经尽可能做出了最大的努力和尝试，但它仍然有点两头都不靠，这大概就是其尴尬之处吧。（但还是希望加菲今年能争取奥提！
观影门槛比爱乐之城甚至是直白讽刺的芝加哥要高，很挑观众，对林聚聚没有丝毫了解的可能会看得一头雾水，可以想象评价的两级分化。
不只是关于百老汇，也是关于格林威治村，以及两者的互哺关系。吞噬生活的艺术创作过程注定是孤独的。从《傲慢》到《倒数时刻》再到《吉屋出租》，乔纳森·拉森倒在了功成名就的前夜，而林聚聚在这部传记音乐片中有着太多自我投射，反而让我出戏了。Anyway我还是要给加菲打call，哪怕你已不再是少年...
我也喜欢被爱引导，so why not five⭐
把本身的情节和Jon剖白式的独角戏交织，让叙事更加完整，也将属于舞台和电影的东西独立开来，使二者的存在与交融显得更加和谐，加菲的演绎也让其中那些创作者的挣扎与坚持，显得分外动人。
一个天才短暂的转瞬人生，林-曼努尔·米兰达在电影里客串了个厨子
影片选择结束于主角30岁生日晚会上蛋糕蜡烛前的一个笑脸，而随后的五年至逝于成名作登台前夕的信息留给了旁白。而这五年，必有他心路的转变、心理的冲突，这些恰恰才是我最想看的啊。无奈影片为了塞进更多的歌舞堆料，将看似充满巧思的叙事主线敲得稀碎，而最终未能讲好一个完整的故事。
每看一强行凹出了情节故事线，英国人钟爱的happy ending
没习惯这种风格的电影，群戏，新旧冲突吧，改变与适应吧，人名和脸都对应不清楚，突然被邀看，迟到竟然也能看，空调都是后面开的。
格外标准又精彩的传记歌舞片，最令人感动的是，当你踌躇满志用十年青春去塑造了一部没人投资的音乐剧，现实却提醒你只有不断向前才有可能成功，当你的成果无人问津，挫败和失落，怀疑和退缩时，却也只有不断向前，人生就是这样，看到别人的成功和自己的位置，放弃自己的梦想却心有不甘，在生命的倒数时刻中，你也只有不断向前。美术，布景和原声都令人印象深刻，加菲这次又贡献了影帝级别的演技，作为年度音乐大戏，跨年时候观看真是一种很有意义的享受
老妇人年轻的时候一定是个非常有魅力的lady啊
讲述了唐顿的辞旧迎新，没有冲突，也没有大反派，一切都是原来的配方（啥时候能有完整版公开啊，小火车的离职真是太突兀了
就是电视剧拍法，故事也是电视剧，除了美丽的衣服和布景外没啥好说的，但是我好感动，大家都很礼貌，每个人都柔和镇定，结局也很正向。不过同性线删掉真是讨厌啊
但是没有看过剧的会很迷茫。
除了不喜欢大部分的音乐之外没有缺点。Sunday的cameo太棒了，说这部电影是音乐剧爱好者的复联Endgame不为过。今年的三十岁焦虑真多啊。
加菲完全融入了角色，这一次他很用力，褒义的。
这一部依然很唐顿，没有太多的波澜起伏但是却很隽永，看到最后老夫人的去世以及人来人往，还是很唏嘘。P.S.唐家屯电影系列就是每一部看完都想把剧挖出来再看一遍。
bravo！21年年度十佳影片！影片展现出一个完全不同的加菲，通过双重视角，台上音乐剧式的内心独白和台下舞台剧式的人物发展，演化出一种独特但精准的视觉语言，拉森原作的配乐更是加分。90年代特有的对同性恋和艾滋的病态政治凝视在当今视角下看来更加讽刺。第三幕的钢琴独唱极为感人，相信一定是颁奖季的大热门！
A well deserved farewell.
