This early 70's giallo by Umberto Lenzi is certainly among the best in his filmography and also in the whole genre. Personally I think Lenzi's best films are the funny cartoon-turned-film Kriminal, the stylish giallo Seven Blood-Stained Orchids, the explosive Napoli violenta and this. In the eighties he did plenty of film trash in form of Eaten Alive, Hitcher in the Dark or Black Demons, all of which are ripping something off and/or very dull and slow moving. Knife of Ice came when the giallo boom was at its hottest and the result is convincing.
Technically the film is superb, containing great cinematography in the beginning when we learn about the main character's trauma towards trains. From this point on, Lenzi shows us his ability to benefit the widescreen and, for example, the bicycle ride near the forest is genuinely beautiful! This scene also shows Lenzi's ability to build suspense, very slowly but meaningfully. After all, there aren't so many murders in the whole film, only the suspense circulating around the murderer's identity.
One suspect is a devil worshipper which brings new aspects to the mystery. Since the final scene takes place in a church, one can wonder if Lenzi wanted to comment on something, maybe the hypocritical morale of church and superstition. The main character (Carrol Baker) is mute which demands a lot from her face and eyes. The actress works very well, giving us a believable performance circulating around the emotions of fear and mental pain. The other actors are good, too. The finally, however, may not give too positive a sight about female sex since they all are expressed rather negatively in the film, one way or another. Still this is easily among the most noteworthy in the genre, not as bloody as the Argento films, for example, but equally suspenseful and visually also interesting.
3维动画版小马宝莉，新时代的故事。陆马的城市很明亮，天马的城市好现代，独角兽居然生活的还是村落……依靠心灵的团结，才是真正的魔法。最后彩蛋陆马的马蹄其实也有魔法，很有爱~
PTA did it for friends*几个瞬间像是回到私恋失调*也只有那么年轻才能尽情跑
更像是《不羁夜》那种可口却咂摸不出到底是啥滋味的感觉。时代只做为注脚的轻盈，女性的犹豫和脆弱实在是动人。
听朋友介绍过前面几部，觉得这部格局的确太小了，导致故事情节看着更稀松平常… 歌很好听，细节设置也很可爱，轻松一下还是不错的嗯
3.5 看完脑子里一直回响的是以前哪里看到的话“有佳句，无佳章”。某几个片段单独看有恣意灵动的气质，但故事的衔接和发展有点散乱，好几处看不出前后跳跃的连接在哪里，于是感觉有点冗长。男女主是很棒的，穿插的几个大明星却瞬间有点令人出戏。有一个人在灯火阑珊处等待和牵挂是幸运的，百转千回，还是你最好。
啊！funk！soul！青春年轻人！酷！机会！成长！后半段各路大佬都来了，像是探险。
时间浓缩版，或者说年代限定版《当哈利遇到莎莉》，就只能寻找一些微妙的趣味了。大龄童星和保守人家女儿带你游旧花园，临了告诉你不成功还可以成家呀，不成功只是因为这个时代注定不成功嘛～
'Soggy Bottom' sounds like someone shit their pants.
4.5奧斯卡BP總算用PTA的新片作結了，好愛..超乎預期的愛，竟然是看PTA的片以來最沒有讓我感受到時間流逝的片。比起昆汀的好萊塢往事，PTA的LA童年往事更為有趣，15歲少年與25歲小姐姐的純友誼，但真的只是純友誼嗎？陽光燦爛的1970年代，一起玩耍、一起做生意、一起瘋，好幾次要越過界線時卻又止住，看的心癢癢，也感受到PTA充滿孩子氣的純愛幻想，傲嬌、挑釁，互相折磨彼此卻又不認愛，Alana一次又一次的試圖當個大人在職場工作，但是現實一次又一次的擊垮她，直到看到了徵兆，才終於放下年齡之差面對彼此的真實情感。第一次覺得PTA如此純情、如此大男孩，這些幼稚純真、青少年式嬉鬧中，結合PTA一貫的教科書鏡頭語言，看到了創作者難能可貴的真情展現，女主素人選角棒透了，感受到有別以往的青春片選角標準。
最后，小公马真的拉。
PTA的70年代影像志，每个出场的配角都承担了相应的文化指代作用。
2022-3-4. 好老套的剧情，导演似乎太想表达自己的女权观点了，so American~
What a dream. Just a little bit self-indulgent as the nostalgic elements are given too much and too often，sometimes making the expression over the impression， and the instant sensation over the enduring feeling
这个开头我好喜欢，甚至有逾越林克莱特之感，大师仍是大师，于是乎，我们能看的东西越来越少，不用考虑题材，技术，一切的一切，只关乎出自谁的手。
大失所望，这是PTA的电影？拍给男人看的昨日旧梦！
愉悦从头至尾，共鸣高频发生，完全剥离回忆神话色彩和成人俯视视角的最朴实也最彻底的青春狂潮中又通过客串明星带出的奇遇片段让梦幻照进现实、照出时代，看似完全的轻巧自由下是四两拨千金的意念和手段，无油倒车、三人晚餐等段落依然给出了PTA式的精彩调度，但其后女主的目光、“情敌”的拥抱等设计更是神来一笔，使情绪表意一并涌出。小霍夫曼在童星设定下呈现出的那种平凡感让人相信虎父确无犬子，哈伊姆则塑造出一个迷之闪耀的成年未长大形象。一言蔽之，本片带给了我颁奖季最大的惊喜
A sweet story！音乐也很喜欢☺️真希望大人的世界也和孩子们的一样，没有阶级，没有分别心，只有善念
7.0 怀旧电影，散漫冗长，最不喜欢的一部PTA。典型的反好莱坞古典叙事，运镜风格独特。
很明显女主是PTA喜欢的类型，尤其开篇时间不是很长的长镜头，还有最开始背影走路的线条，简直太A了！ 回到故事，我是一点都不喜欢。有那么些别扭一直持续着。故事纯美式，资本主义人家15岁就会，真是不同。但只要PTA玩的开心就好，这绝对个人化的影片！
冲着Haim去的，中途还惊现Tom Waits，但真的不好看啊。 男主Gary应该是个双子座吧，行为动机太随机了……整部电影看完，就像刷了一堆抖音短视频，内心空荡荡。 最后还来了个可怕的“双向奔赴”，提心吊胆生怕其中一个被车撞了，结果没有，就那样硬生生的皆大欢喜了……回想起来，还是被车撞了更不落俗套一点。
