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).
女人公路片。so natural and wild
亲人的离去，治愈需要多长时间？“回忆在，人就在。”我相信这句话。从完全接受的那一刻起，不再和情绪做对抗，我知道自己已不再需要被“治愈”。
题材暗合导演的心境吧 ，Andrea arnold拍美国也拍女homeless ，更喜欢导演的上一部
在亚马逊工作那段心里最大的感觉就是，互联网把老人都赶去哪里了？工厂和去消亡的路上。
流浪的人，何以为家。有些人确实不得不上路。。
"There's no final goodbye."
真诚与真诚之间，有一段温存的怀疑。赵婷喜欢将镜头裹着倾斜与呼吸感，怼到她关注的事物上去。她的特写透露着一种关切。
状态电影......生活方式电影能拍成这样相当不错了......配乐（配器）略俗气.....看到一半，科嫂突然喊Happy New Year~ 相当应景了~
不过台词中的说教意味有些浓，情节之间不是很连贯，导致看的时候并没有多少共鸣。
苍天明眸有时过于灼热
以纪录片的呈现为外套，其核心仍是主流片女主的情感线——流浪疗愈，渴望家庭，专情配偶。跟同名非虚构小说不是一回事情，但看得出华人导演很希望融入美国社会。
沒有說甚麼故事，但呈現了一個疏離卻容易產生共鳴的情緒狀態。/ May have marked the end of hippie era?
其实更喜欢<骑士>啦，这部也不赖，但也不至于惊叹好得过分，你能看到一个人而非只是个女性与这个世界自处的方式，和解真的存在吗？越过山水，才知道答案。
anyway，再给麦姐一座小金人吧，演的实在太好了orz
you can stay here. no I have to do laundry.
观影过程如同全程把额头靠在冰凉的车窗上，看着沿途的人，荒地和山脉，一动不动，一言不发。有时玻璃上晕了呼吸的水汽，就用手掌擦擦。
期盼科恩嫂突破自己演得更好；音乐格调差评；勿跟马力克往一块套，政治正确小甜品一份。
像纪录片一般，跟随着科恩嫂试着去理解这些现代游牧民族。不要试图用理性去解构他们的动机，选择游牧本身就充满了浪漫。大自然和同胞的友情是对伤痛最好的治愈。
可能没认真看吧，完全不知道讲的啥。像访谈一样的伪纪录片。过的生活，感受，结识的人，接触的事物，完全没有同感。老年了无牵挂、老无所依、不得不漂泊，这哪是诗和远方，只是觉得累和折腾。结识新朋友，看美丽的风景，算了吧，累。
一部值得用力去感受的电影…… 这样的一切太深沉.
