Umberto Lenzi is undoubtedly the king of Italian crime movies, but unfortunately; Syndicate Sadists is not the best examples of his work in this genre. Lenzi's crime flicks tend to be a cut above the rest because he makes films based on stories with a point, and they don't lack direction; but this film feels a bit too wayward to fully fit with the rest of his stuff. The film takes obvious influence from Sergio Leone's landmark western 'A Fistful of Dollars' (which in turn, took influence from Akira Kurosawa's landmark samurai flick Yojimbo), in that it features two warring families and a strong character at the centre. The crime that Lenzi focuses on is kidnapping, and we centre on a character called 'Rambo'. Rambo is dragged into the war between the two families after his brother is killed because of it. Rambo uses his brains and brawn to pit the two families against one another, in the hope of gaining revenge for his brother's death, rescuing a young boy that they've kidnapped, and ultimately letting the two sides destroy one another.
The film's biggest asset is undoubtedly Tomas Milian. Milian was put to great use by Lenzi in almost all of his crime thrillers. The range of characters he has played for Lenzi is immense, and this one is easily one of the coolest. The character is called Rambo, which immediately sprang to mind the popular Sylvester Stallone character - but for once, the Italians actually haven't stolen this name as Syndicate Sadists was released first! As usual, the film is wickedly entertaining, as we get to watch Milian get himself involved in the usual array of car chases, shootouts and brawls. Lenzi has got him riding a motorbike this time round, and every scene featuring it and Milian is a real standout! However, the film often feels like it doesn't really have anywhere to go, and this means that the running time is stretched out more than it should be. Compared to the crime films of other Italian directors, Syndicate Sadists is more than above average; but in relation to Lenzi crime flicks such as Almost Human and The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist - it doesn't stand tall as one of Lenzi's best. Still, if you're looking for ninety minutes of testosterone fuelled mayhem - Syndicate Sadists will suffice!
不过话说回来，女主看着不像只能住一居室的样子，他家这大玻璃窗简直梦中情屋……
看了90分钟受不了溜了。人物很平面的清水文艺片，虽然主题是聚焦城市的背面（夜晚）和孤独的人们，但一切都过于干净，连少有的冒险都是安全的。如果巴黎的80年代真是影片里这样我估计会无聊至死。
温情略杂着感伤，生活就是这样，毫无情面，但我们会报团取暖，不经意间制造着美好的片段。
午夜巴黎、灵魂碰撞，渡人亦渡己
没有戏剧冲突，没有任何夸张，扁平化、按照时间顺序，平淡地展开。可是，表面上看似波澜不惊，却处处反映着生活的艰辛、逼真，以及生命的美好、幽暗，以及盛放。这样拍电影其实很好的，关于电影的东西——情感、故事、生活、导演的立论，以及留给观众电影之外的思考，全有了，而且平静如水。
米夏埃尔真是继承了一套美式抒情招式。将美国小清新故事放置到巴黎的语境之下不知为何总是显得脱轨。
再多糟糕透顶的生活也还不过是在时间的长河中被揉碎，在这么荒诞的一天看这么一部温情的电影，生活中真的太缺少那些让人值得去执着的事了，坍塌的日子也要努力留给自己一些安宁吧。OST很好，曲子值得找来一听在听，张弛间似乎也能感受到呼吸的空隙，那些时间空白格。
好像西恩潘法国版hhh，利用做旧的家庭影像穿插在充满迷幻色调的影片主体中，寻找巴黎的某个时间。不禁让人考虑“好导演不会浪费每一个镜头”是否是一种艺术品工业化的论调，它或许适用于好莱坞工业和美国英国的独立电影业，但似乎有一种传统就是没有理由的。存在于贾木许的一些电影里，存在于阿彼察邦的一些电影里，存在于安东尼奥尼的一些电影里，不被逐帧剖析而绑架的影像。安东尼奥尼尤其是，不屑于雕刻，也不屑于真实，因为真实并不存在。
1980年代才是美好时代，有午夜广播，有圆月映花都，有密特朗，那时还没有没有互联网

氛围和年代质感都打磨的非常好，松散的情节对应慵懒的电影气质，高贵又戳人。
# 72 Berlinale 主竞赛# 本片秉承该导演一贯的风格，从朋友到家人，在波澜不惊的日常生活中感受五味杂陈，观片过程就像在喝一杯温水，平静却充满舒适感。从2015 年的《夏日感悟》开始关注这个导演，再到2018年的《阿曼达》入围威尼斯地平线，今年终于进入柏林主竞赛，下一部就要拼戛纳了，陪着自己喜欢的导演一路打怪升级就像一个盼子成龙的老父亲，等他进戛纳的那一天一定要先见面抱头痛哭一场
Pascale Ogier hante ce film…
Si tu n’existais pas, dis -moi pourquoi j’existrais
【有一些温暖是永存的】好幸运他们为了生活不是为了生计 笑容可能是塞纳河畔的微风真的很舒服
怀疑是不是脆弱的人就可以得到更多的爱 所有的一些都流动 人物 场景 时间 他们的人生 但是一切都显得呆板又刻意！
真的非常·没意思。甘斯布的角色依旧是悬浮的，就算住在13区的HLM里，还是如梦似幻的巴黎女人。想要诗化巴黎，好呀，但别为了怀旧而诗化。
Hold it in, let's go dancing, I do believe we're only passing through. (soundtrack 也太美了
不时插入的不同画幅空镜
想象的生活与现实总是有差距，但我们还是依然热爱它！
