简介: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.

简介:《干花》这部风格强烈的「艺术黑帮片」制作于任侠电影黄金时代的开端,以强烈反差的黑白摄影及武满彻诡异的配乐,带领观众梦游石原慎太郎原著的「仁义」地下世界。  作为松竹新浪潮的一员,篠田正浩则是自觉地离开片厂,走上独立制作的道路。篠田的《乾花》有趣的地方,可能是见到本是文艺小生的池部良,如何开始转型成为一位「任侠」。虽然在这部电影中,他还是一个典型的石原慎太郎太阳族小说的迷惘主人翁,但走上罪犯的道路后,他很快就成为「昭和残侠」的一员。日本的黑帮片,可能是把罪犯神话化的极致了。  《干花》,这部筱田正浩的新浪潮时期的作品,改编自石原慎太郎的原著。这部小说和另外一部石原慎太郎作品《太阳的季节》的出现,给新浪潮中重要一类电影立下了“太阳族电影”的名字。这部冷酷迷人的电影所展现出来的虚无主义情绪似乎比大岛洼的成名作《残酷青春物语》还要强烈得多,技术也更高超得多。  除了以自身阴郁的黑白摄影对原著进行的视觉呈现所散发出的独特气息,它仍残留着石原慎太郎太阳族电影——文学作品的印记。不过在此番中,通常发生在小说男主人公身上的反叛与虚无情绪被转移到了另一位神秘、迷人、疯狂、麻木、空洞、绝望的年轻女孩身上,而男主角却几乎成了黑色电影的经典形象——一个没有希望和生存目的的孤独杀手,迫不得已不得不继续在这条充满陷阱的路上走下去。男女主人公,刚欲建立起来的感情联系在这个危险和绝望的世界中迅速被自身的惰性和冷酷的外部世界撕裂了,还来不及清醒地确认自身的存在与悲剧感。  筱田正浩所采取的绝不是一种类型片的拍法,他的这部审视战后日本社会心理形态的作品,有着强大而深沉的批评力量。它是内敛的、阴郁的、冷酷的、无声尖叫的、像夜本身一样富于沉重的压迫感的。筱田正浩对人在一种极端主义的处境中性与爱的歧化的、隐性的表现,有一种独特的眼光和品位,他的作品既有政治和社会眼光的深度,并且似乎总是无法剥离的,又有人性基本层面上的批判视野的力度,他不像典型的桃色片电影导演那样官能化地聚焦于身体摹写的原欲自身,也绝不是一位禁欲风格的社会学或人类学纪录者,他擅长改编文学作品的才能使它成为一位将社会立意的内在主题寄寓在美不胜收的视觉语言和具有诱惑力的文学叙事上的美学拓建设者;他的作品的形式与思想结合的完美总是让人久久陷于震憾。
