Fernando Di Leo's "Milano Calibro 9" is an out-and-out masterpiece of Italian Crime cinema and, in my opinion, one of the most astonishing crime stories ever told. The first film in Di Leo's excellent 'Milieu' trilogy, "Milano Calibro 9" was followed by "La Mala Ordina" (aka. "Manhunt", also 1972) and the brilliant "Il Boss" (1973). The three films are not connected story-wise, but all three are excellent, and highly realistic portrayals of organized crime. As far as I am concerned "Manhunt" is (allthough excellent) slightly inferior to this one and "Il Boss" which both stand out as absolute all-time highlights of crime cinema. "Milano Calibro 9" is the best of them all, a film that is astonishing in all aspects, be it the ingenious plot that, apart from a compelling story and clever twists, includes social criticism, the performances, the gritty atmosphere and suspense or the brilliant score. I can hardly find the right words to express my admiration for this masterpiece which easily ranks among the greatest Gangster flicks ever brought to screen.
Gastone Moschin stars as Ugo Piazza, a tough and elliptical ex-convict who has just been released from prison. Immediately after his release, Ugo is approached by members of the Milan mob lead by the irascible gangster Rocco (Mario Adorf), as they suspect him to be responsible for the disappearance of a large sum of money belonging to their boss, an American (Lionel Stander) who controls the organized crime in Milan...
"Milano Calibro 9" is a film that delivers an astonishingly realistic mood of the underworld like hardly another. The intriguing storyline goes in hand with interesting characters, raw atmosphere, suspense and breathtaking action, social criticism and brutal violence. The film is simply stunning from the beginning to the end, which is even intensified by the brilliant score, a collaboration of the famous composer Luis Enríquez Bacalov and the Italian Progressive Rock band Osanna. Ugo Piazza must be one of the most charismatic gangster characters ever in cinema, and Gastone Moschin was the prefect choice for the role. Moschin delivers a brilliant performance, and the rest of the cast is also great. Mario Adorf is irascible like a rabid dog as the ferocious gangster Rocco, a role that fits him like a glove. The great Lionel Stander fits perfectly in his role of the American Mafia Don.
The two cop characters in the film are played by two of the greatest regulars of Italian genre-cinema, Luigi Pistilli and Frank Wolff (who committed suicide before the film was released). The ravishing Barbara Bouchet is astonishing and incredibly sexy in the role of Ugo Piazza's stripper girlfriend. Bouchet is both a stunning beauty and an excellent actress and this is doubtlessly one of her most memorable roles. This is also a political film and director Di Leo embedded a lot of social criticism about topics like corruption. This film simply has everything one can possibly desire in cinema. Films like "Milano Calibro 9" are the reason why I love cinema. This is an absolute masterpiece in all regards and, without exaggeration, one of the greatest Crime flicks ever made! The ingenious opening scene alone is more memorable than most films get in two hours.
结尾简直就是一个注重家庭、亲情和集体的社会文化里最好的临时解决方式了吧。。。
结局皆大欢喜，过程也波澜不惊。愿都能正大光明的生活在彩虹之下
论亚洲的言论自由，印度、韩国、日本已经是工业水平了
阿三都能正大光明的拍同啦，我们是越活越回去啦……
有一点啊，是不是没有征求这个被领养孩子的意见啊？人家本来也是可以被正常夫妻领养的啊
女主爸爸和男主妈妈真的好好啊！或许我们应该学着去接纳更多！前半部分轻松，后半部分有思考。男主从在苏米面前犹犹豫豫承认自己是gay，到在众多家人面前坦坦荡荡承认自己的gay。是他的转变！
借热门短评：2018年才将同性恋去罪化的印度，2022年已经拍出直面有关形婚, 同性恋领养方面的电影了。
最后的处理方式处理的极好
这年头几乎是只有在东亚影视中才能看到出柜的挣扎了。虽然影片超烂俗地用慢镜头来展现一见钟情，但走向真的很好，有好一阵子没在影视剧里见到这样自我认同的勇气了，是有价值的一部片。
总喜欢用那种慢镜头来表现心动让人反感
印度respect🫡有婚礼还有游行🥹🥹有生之年能看到同种类型的中国版我头给你….（必不可少的载歌载舞hhhhh）
有点太长了，而且一到男女主分别的爱情线就放MV是在干嘛。其实哪怕是形婚更弱势的还是女方。“你不用非得抽血，我们可以去喝咖啡。”
一开始看片名永结同心以为是美好的唯美爱情故事，一看正品发现是两对同行其中异性互相结婚展开的一系列故事。印度阿三真是敢演敢播啊。剧情不错在此不再剧透了，就是看完有一点现实社会的压抑感吧，挺为那些同性感到社会压力。比我这母胎solo更惨……
竟然，有点可爱【连印度都有形婚题材的电影了，酸
描写的还是蛮真实的，男主的男朋友和女主的女朋友都好会撩哦🥰男主的妈妈好可爱啊，拿着纸条磕磕巴巴的给女主念指南，最后还把纸条给女主了😂男主好幸运啊，虽然妈妈刚知道消息还不太理解不能接受，但是还是因着对他的爱给了他一个拥抱，看女主给爸爸出柜那段感觉女主的演技有点不太能让人特别沉入，反而男主让人感受到了那种压抑，最后的结局也还不错没有特别理想化也不会让人很难过唏嘘
i wish it was that easy.
似乎是印象中看过的第一部带点性戏剧意味的印度电影，男同、女同、形婚、领养，很前卫的因素，更何况是2018年才判定同性性行为不是犯罪的印度，前面的喜剧氛围很浓厚，最后两人坦诚出柜的部分还是皆大欢喜的结局，家人们接受和转变的速度与前面的铺垫相比，显得快了很多，从戏剧冲突的到来和解决还是比较理想化的，不过总体仍然是一部很不错的电影，当然了，前提是能接受无处不在的插曲以及慢镜
太感人了，印度真的跨出很大一步。希望每个人都可以不再戴上面具也能开心地在阳光下舞蹈。隐瞒和欺骗只会让事情更加糟糕。我太喜欢这种温馨的结局了。什么时候中国也能有pride游行呢？（支持领养，拒绝代孕）
有趣 真实 真诚 能有这样的电影狠狠羡慕了 p.s.男女主各自的cp都好好嗑啊真不戳
看似合家欢的形婚happy ending其实也是妥协的结果，但正如热评所说，能拍能映能被讨论就已经是一大进步。骄傲游行很燃很感动。女二小姐姐好姬好美。
