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).
笑死
影片根据同名小说改编，剧本不错，女主的几次出走，都是自我挣扎、成长、和解，最后HE，是爱情的模样。
奈飞年会、好莱坞团建、SNL尾牙、美帝年货。跨年三部曲：2020去死，2021去死，别抬头地球完球
是无条件的爱拯救了她 给了她勇气和力量 爱是无论你经历过什么 无论你是什么样 都会永远爱你 / 上帝会听见你的声音 如果你相信 如果你愿意自救 / 女主鼓起勇气说出真相救了两小女孩时真的太感人了（有几个世人可以拥有如此坚定 永不消失的爱）
依然諷刺的文化觀察，2021年世界依然糟糕，希望不要有下集了。
“明明我是这样大小毛病一大堆乃至破碎、绝望的人💔，谁会看到这样的我后还不放弃那份爱？”“这样的人和爱，只存在于小说中、电影里吧”。但为什么面对“现实”说出这样的“确信”之后
今年看的第一部是2020去死，最后一部是2021去死，都得死，收工！
爱是饶恕，爱是恒久的忍耐，爱是不嫉妒
已经连续两年了，还会迎来不希望这一年去死的那一年吗？
能当贺岁喜剧看的伪纪录片。The era of predictable unpredictability is not going away.
和Don't Look Up前后脚观看，有种诡异的超现实感，但是剪辑的新闻片段又在提醒着这是真切的发生过的事件/这奇妙的世界/不知道Netflix如何总结即将到来的2022年，我只有一个愿望：新冠去死！
女主不幸但又很幸运 上帝关了一扇门也会给你开一扇门😢
有原班人馬，也加入了「新血」，「演出」及「回顧」部份算是保持到水準。大概明年今日又會有「下一集」。
1. 摄影运镜、剪辑水平极高；2. 这部片子让我们成为更好的人
没有2020那么好笑了 expectation太高... 喜欢Gemma真的太呆妹了 那个culture commentator是不是影射Fran Lebowitz lol
只要生命中还有一束光
宗教味道真的浓，同样的情节，中外拍出来，主题不同
故事是fantasy 一边叹太过童话了 一边又唏嘘 可能生活里没有的童话确实需要一些假象来弥补
我能理解女主，但是我无法理解男主…他不是在爱女主，他是在感化女主。
真的非常不错，冲破一切世俗的爱情，结尾很感人，女主的怀孕寓意非常好，值得推荐！
