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.
好自由的电影，不需要在意什么规则。世界都无规则，视听语言要什么语法。
1、前面部分太先锋，好在后面还算是正常的直线叙事
电影内容或许很有意义，也很有警示性，但这绝不能令它成为一部好电影
说的都是人话
疫情时代又一部精彩的低成本室内电影，就像《人民的名义》一样，看官僚们唇枪舌剑的会议也比很多大场面还过瘾。“远程无接触的屠杀可以减少执行者的负罪感”，德三真是把人性玩明白了。虽然这段历史早已耳熟能详，但是再看一遍仍然触目惊心。
一不小心可能会被犹太人，又或者，一不小心就是坐在桌上讨论如何处置犹太人的人
失去了工作，失去了爱人，失去了朋友。你问我，要去何方。
1、太长；2、剪辑碎得像想踢足球的蚯蚓爸爸；3、年代全凭报纸新闻+话外音硬性植入；4、男主帅。
开场半小时很眩晕，直到遇见了女主开始渐入佳境… 与其法比安与女主的爱情，妓院（男妓）老板娘对他的一往情深和他和母亲之间的感情更是感人至极。
“生活是最有趣的一份工作”
咖啡馆分手的剪接非常出色，交谈开始前，景框外伸进一只手臂给墙上的投币箱投了币，随后自动钢琴开始演奏，这个过程十分像戏剧的开场部分，演员就位，乐队奏响第一个音符。脸部特写与手部特写的交替绝妙地取代了传统的正反打镜头，女友的眼泪中不乏表演的成分，而法比安身体的大部分在镜头外，观众只能听到他冷静而理智的声音，他成了全视的旁白，揭开了隐藏在这段感情背后的内幕。当他再次入镜时，他才回到情感天秤的另一端。文本优美，时有警句，可惜与实验性的现代电影手法并不搭调。结尾更是败笔，溺水而亡太轻飘太浅显，仿佛一个不合时宜的玩笑。
他经历过所有那些动荡疯狂和炙热，最后随着流水消失了。汤姆希林真是让人心疼的一张脸。
什么样的国家才会让几个十几个人决定几百乃至几千万人的生死。
轴心说“轴心”是轴心
三小时的体量终于能够承载一个超越故事本身的表达了，自传带来的厚重感无疑是对唐诺的最好回击。
说的都是人话
从影像来说，就just so so，给个三星的原因真的是有警世作用的还原，但不如真的就索性更真实一点的来个纪录片。
视觉风格强烈影音呈现出彩，加上Tom schilling本人自带的忧郁气质和影片基调相辅相成。最大的缺点就是太长，分为几天看完，明白导演对于这部电影在叙事和摄影上想追求一些特立独行的个人概念，纪录片的纪实性和文艺片的荒诞感杂糅，本来只想打三颗星，看完结尾加一颗。最后男女之间爱情相互纠缠与守望的撕裂也确实很动人。Ps：活着是无力的，唯有死亡可以力挽狂澜。
该片通过二战前德国魏玛共和国一个年轻人的日常，展现了那个时期德国的人文风俗、世态炎凉。文学青年法比安的人生最后一段时间与这个国家一起幻灭，故事发生时，主人公寻找着生活的幸福和社会的安定，有着美满的回忆，但是最后，他的工作因为动荡的社会丢弃了，他的爱人被权贵阶级拉去拍电影了，他的朋友因为论文辅导的教授受到政治分子的威胁，而没有通过，最后自杀了，他自己最后在准备奔向幸福时，因救人而溺死了。一切好像看上去都是个人的遭遇，其实是和整个社会即将动荡而崩溃，是有密切关系的，这是一个大的时代背景下，一个小人物的悲剧故事。
博士毕业不留在大城市卷，选择回到家乡是他清醒的地方。但拥有电影梦的女友是她的羁绊。动荡年代，每个人只是一粒尘埃，无力改变只能顺应趋势。
