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).
成年人的世界就是很难啊
经历过上天的馈赠，也感受过命运的波折。登上过万人瞩目的红馆舞台，也躲进过黑暗逼仄的日本衣柜。换上了百变的造型，唯独没有真正穿过婚纱。角落里的情侣你侬我侬，却是她无法享有的人生。高歌时不唱兴奋唱反叛，低落处不唱伤心唱唏嘘。夕阳很美，却很短暂。把美定格在短暂的黄昏，却意外获得了永远。
3.8星。有遗憾有诚意有泪崩。1.女主没问题，神似形似都过及格线，眼神有戏，形体仪态欠缺梅姐的力道和凌厉，演技是徘徊在某电影节入围名单边缘的级别。2.主打“安全牌”，为了安全，按时间线来难免有流于表面的缺点，为了安全避开了很多人物事件导致角色不够饱满。为了安全，穿插真实视频难免有不信任新人和讨巧的嫌疑，但真实视频一出，电影情感层面的力道瞬间升级。3.梅姐的人生是高浓缩的，如我是导演我也舍不得放弃任何一段。4.拍摄难点还在于很多和主角相关的人都还活着，会有些限制。5.对某渣男的洗白，站在歌迷角度自然是反对的，但站在梅姐本人角度，没问题。6.服化道用心，首首金曲带你回到港乐乃至香港辉煌的80年代。7.泰国一段略垮，但当时间来到2003年后又是一波催泪狂潮，那是我们都经历过的2003。8.听完片尾曲再走吧。
顺意的生活，偶然的相遇灵魂，蠢蠢的男主，狗屎的结局。
后半部分总觉得有些地方不对，直到放婚纱记录画面明白了：演员直最后始终是一种柔的感觉，一种被大家关爱着的感觉，从气质到外貌都和开始无异，没有人物有阅历。没有历经世事的沧桑感。
看了路演。选角没问题的，神似比形似要重要得多。
片子的确有点流水账，缺少点灵魂，但能大屏幕听到梅姐的歌，演员又那么形似，还有一众大牌保驾护航，已经很满足了。芳华绝代，芳华永在！
Just chill for a second.
他收到的回应从“i‘m old”变成了“you are so young， and i want you enjoy your 20s”
我感觉是在看梅姐历年的服装展示秀
但是女主挺好的，抓到了梅姐的倔强和落寞。就是中年后很拉垮，不如后半段让袁泉来演。
很多镜头乍一看确实还挺像的，但是女主比梅姐更精致，梅姐气质里有一股肃杀感，女主比起来还是小白兔了

婚纱复刻的也好烂 然后你还要放原纪录片做对比 好丢脸
后3/1有些分神,但总体很喜欢,尤其喜欢里面的音乐。男女主chemistry很有诶 and I like a boy who is also 22 years old.
Fuck，每年都要为成长剧鼻酸吗？！growing up is hard这件事还要骗我多少眼泪💧以及，Dakota Johnson我还能馋八百年！
梅姐一直都是这样，强忍腹痛完成舞台，对大家说自己一定能痊愈；被说切忌操劳却还是连开了八场演唱会，她做任何事情都这样。她不怕输、不信命，她用自己倔强的性格和做任何事都全力以赴的信念去感染着每一个人。
导演似乎很自知如何利用自己的舒适圈创作一个平庸但用小聪明讨喜的白男形象。当特权被大肆张扬时，表达仿佛就被蒙上了一层毛边玻璃，成为了少数人的狂欢。Jun 15, tiff
怎么说呢，影片本身真的不太行，整体太拼凑太流水账了，梅艳芳的选角还不错，但是张国荣的选角太失败了，从样貌到神韵都完全不像，非常出戏。看的过程中总是想到《波西米亚狂想曲》，感觉在模仿，但是又不如。最后收尾其实还不错，但这个好更多是梅艳芳本身的魅力与戏剧性带来的，很难归结到电影创作上。
永远都会有人记得你。
