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).
Viv代表 （文艺片）
在另一个层面，影片又在实在感与虚无感之间来回交叉穿梭。约翰尼与杰西的关系危机，与采访问题可为互文，借此去思考家庭与亲情的社会议题，拷问纯真与成长的终极意义，
就像偶然截取的人生片段，没有前因，没有后果，也没有那么多“为什么”的答案。你要做活在地球上的小孩，就要准备好去拥抱痛苦、不安、悲伤、混乱、无意义的废话，和一点快乐。无论朝向怎样的未来，总还是要往前走。C’mon c’mon.
想打十星的片子。画面和配乐出色，让人即刻沉浸，即使要跟着华金聆听全世界的城市，我也能一直一直这么看下去。喜欢这种探讨和反思，沟通与表达。做妈妈很难，但还是想抱紧我的宝贝再次说声对不起。
「Be funny, comma, when you can, period.」大型带娃直播现场，小男主也太萌了吧~ 虽然全片是黑白色调，看完却似有阳光洒在身上~
很温馨很沉闷的片子，采集到的声音真好听啊，但是滤波得到的信号就是真实的吗？
當cliche 拍得不落俗套，孩子想像的未來以及成年人不敢面對的將來，累極時為自己打打氣，c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon。生命糟透了，但很正常。
华金演得太好了…擅长地理切换和各种堆砌的儿童版Her，散文 独白 颂歌 马戏团游行 录像带 音画不同步和墨水屏构成了隔阂，让人感觉这从来不是孤独 秘密 痛苦和快乐的正发生，最好看的还是纪录片的部分

3.5 原来是公路带娃片…跟城市掠影同步的是对儿童的理解、对将来之物的理解。（跟友邻开心面基了！感谢豆瓣！
documentary+feature的完美结合
I’m not fine and that’s a totally reasonable response
当孩子也感到孤独的时候，一定是成人世界出现了问题。

自由主义知识分子对亲情、成长、和解等生活系列命题的内心思辨，巧妙地通过“叔叔带侄儿”的故事和话筒设定娓娓道来～像是把王小波的杂文精选视觉化了一般～
#SthlmFF21 都舍不得标看过的喜欢。看的时候脑中一直反复闪回《弗朗西斯哈》，那种被击中的愉悦的感觉回来了。很私人（相对来说）甚至丢人，因为深知就是个bubble，但还是噙着眼泪说，我懂。
看到屋崙還挺親切，雖然沒什麼外景⋯⋯溫馨動人，但看完回味卻覺得有些疏離和飄渺的感覺。
小朋友治愈了兄妹关系，小朋友们给大人讲了很多他们不明白的道理，小朋友活得更明白更快乐

是那种没有剧情的聊天电影。开始还觉得有些无聊，越看越喜欢，看到最后又哭又笑。这世界让人困惑，你不好也没关系。
