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).
一开始觉得台词很搞笑，直到看到结尾开始困惑：这部电影的目标受众究竟是什么人？🤔感觉片中出现的任何群体看完本片都不会开心的样子……
一想到女主现实中的男朋友是肖恩就非常的羡慕妒忌恨
没看之前，斯皮尔伯格吖，能烂到哪去。是我自作多情了，坚持了一半受不了快进了。找不到好看点的女主吗？？
最大不足是动机，原以为这次名导的翻拍会把剧情改的稍微再合理一点，可惜只改了更加政治正确的部分，但对于人物动机的合理性却没有。失望。最大亮点是美版billy的小大卫长大了，荷尔蒙爆棚。
这个剧本也太烂了吧 主角们还都是小学生吗？
哟！这位就是拍了《辛德勒的名单》《拯救大兵瑞恩》《E·T》《猫鼠游戏》《战马》《头号玩家》的斯皮尔伯格呀？
斯皮其实也尽力了，这种经典翻拍受限的地方太多。新版削弱了舞台感，甚至印象中连歌舞戏的比例还更低了，剧作上没有什么施展空间，那就只能走技术流，镜头、调度、场面都更具大片感。不过，珠玉在前，加上两个主角选得确实不太好，无法超越前作，6.5。
Only very few moments capture some glimpses of a Gene Kelly musical. Unlike Bruce Lee’s martial arts, actors fail to express themselves truly through body movements or singing, although Spielberg's mise-en-scene nails it, the 2021 version of WSS is far from a good remake. Still love it for speaking up for the minorities.
咋说呢，我知道这是改编罗密欧和朱丽叶，也知道这是斯皮尔伯格，也知道他画面气氛选角都不差。我知道这才是现实，但这价值观还是看的我要窒息了
奉劝跟我一样因为funny asian dude 而想看这部片子的朋友们，还是别了
哈哈哈，die hard 变 Love Hard
歌舞太棒了，布景、摄影也一流，两位主角缺少点魅力。
生存在帮派和民族仇怨之间的爱情故事。歌舞表演都很精彩，就是场景转换的处理有些太过突兀，很多剧场中的表演形式和戏剧冲突放在电影中不加以改编就显得不那么合适了。

两位主角尤其是男主角的演技实在让人无法恭维，简直是肉眼可见的不足。
剧情太可怕了，如果只是现代罗密欧与朱丽叶，顶多就是吐槽剧情老土。但有几个正常人能在自己亲哥死了后还能继续和杀人凶手做下去的？wtf？不是不喜欢歌舞，但打架都是跳舞也太无语了…最最可怕的是，主演没有演技就算了，连颜值也么得！
拍还是拍的挺好，只是西区故事它太古典了，虽说加了一些爵士的调调和活泼的演绎，但无论是唱腔和舞台展现还是莎士比亚式的剧情设计，都太古典了，它看起来更像是一个翻新的歌舞片而不是我心目中的音乐剧。但是也许好莱坞时不时的确实需要这个，金球奖三个奖项奥斯卡七个提名在上，老斯受我一拜。
几乎每个镜头的调度运镜构图打光都值得拿出来学习，但叙事极为乏味，音乐舞蹈也没什么吸引力，分三次勉强看完，我的DNA里没这个。
Director Spielberg怎么会选一个有肢体障碍的傻大个扮演男一？他一人的拙劣几乎毁掉了整部电影，好在有完美的Ariana Debose扳回一城。
如坐针毡，完全没看出作为电影必须存在的意义在哪里，不如重映修复的老版或直接看舞台剧的录像。老斯当然有资格任性，观众也当然有资格惋惜，这样好的调度却存在于这样的作品里。
