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.
和动漫版的不一样了，没有下巴处的阴影还有点不习惯了呢。在须前辈和爷爷都好帅，再一次为高人和蠢太的爱情而开心
永远喜欢高人和蠢太。结尾配上bgm太好哭了，谢谢太太的故事。
好奇怪的剧情 😰 一边玩手机一边看才看得下去
没有脖子的条纹顺眼多了但是剧情为零 不如动画
蠢太的外祖父儒雅俊帅，让人记忆深刻。通过新剧需要学习西班牙弗拉明戈展开故事，高人跟蠢太的心意更加相通，里面的副cp（国际歌手x腹黑监制）也很带感。
看片旁边有个装x怪，全程睡觉，最后带头鼓掌，勇气可嘉；还有屏摄！
#BJIFF21# 一直觉得这种片的意义就是让大家在影院不知不觉睡着，反正最后都是归于一团迷雾。作为北影节最后一场达到效果了
没之前的好看 西班牙语真的很好笑哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈肚子都笑痛了 但车是很好看啦 最主要的是！阴影线条没有了！
很奇妙的事件，可是感觉电影反而有些把它和我隔开了
咳咳，知道高人蠢太很甜了，音乐家和制作人这个坑怎么办？？？
地下与地上的空间分割：地上，大全景中的人物游走，渺小如蚁，雾气朦胧与夕阳西下的密度摄影；地下空间不断拓展，从扔下火舌的火花四涧到扔下石头空谷回声，进入地下世界，灼烈的火焰从景深出一点点渲染银幕，有时看不清是壁画还是人，空间设计太绝
在一起除了开心外还要寻找更深层次的契合 谈个恋爱都能提升 太好代入我家CP
全程当纪录片看的，最后居然告诉我是个真实事件改编的故事片？？？大部分时候都只是秀技术力的硬件广告，像是那种卖电视的地方会循环播放的素材集合。但确实很让人好奇啊，到底是怎么把摄影机和摄影师挪到那些位置的呢？
去了舞台见面会，被广树笑到。电影还是不错的
看得昏昏欲睡但并不妨碍是个好片，到最后那一笔画完成，死亡也完成了
虽然爱会让人变得脆弱，但希望有一天我也能找到我的宝物。剧情虽然略显俗套，但属实让人非常心动了。
BJIFF2021 两种“终点”，同样是对世间万物的敬畏，一种充满了未知和期待，两块石头一把火苗，照出一个孤独的宇宙;一种是平静的接纳，老人的皱纹仿佛是洞穴中的地貌，最后的喘息仿佛是洞穴中的回响；虽然看似没有关联却是一种奇妙的融合，万物相通的感动
可，可恶啊，是被制片那对切片吸引进来的，结果过程不超一分钟……
跟你一起活下去的这个世界，即痛苦又幸福，但是却如此的美丽
#BJIFF# 深影巨幕厅的效果是真不错，切身体会到什么是breathtaking view，杜比全景声也很沉浸。前段还看得晕晕乎乎，开始在洞穴中探索后就很专注了。
