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!
趁精神还没有被困囿到阳痿，声音还没被棉签
Overwhelmingly beautiful，在一些random moments感动地流下泪。在depressed的时候真的很需要这样的影片🥹
法语的每个单词都粘在一起了 说出来全是浪漫调调
一部非常稳扎稳打的温情家庭片，细腻却不细碎，人物的状态都出奇地相称，节奏上没有一丝拖沓。甘斯布绝美的气质惊艳了整部电影，柔和却恰如其分的表演让影片的发展沿着不变的轨道前进。可与引用的侯麦电影比却少了些自如，配乐的大量使用有些取巧，以及一些情节的设计感有点浓，略显刻意
一部很温暖文艺的片子，里面的人都好温柔，哪怕形容一个吃了睡睡了吃的女孩也是说像个婴儿，配乐超级棒！还有法国人没有不爱侯麦的吧？
虽然还是稍显中产和匠气，但朴实的镜头语言疯狂加分，有点侯麦的味道。另外，甘斯伯格的声音也太温柔了。
看完心里有点难受，每个人都在挣扎着活着，体验一点小小的甜头，就仿佛活着是受罚，一点点的希望和温暖足以让人不绝望至极。甘斯布真美啊，怎么会有人这么美，苍薄脆弱的美。
法式经典，侯麦再现。细碎，敏感，怀旧，朦胧。家庭关系，少年心事。梦巴黎。Talulah 真可爱。儿子有点像《四百击》里的安托万。音乐很好，金色泡沫感。引用北岛的诗：那时我们有梦，关于文学，关于爱情，关于穿越世界的旅行。如今我们深夜饮酒，杯子碰在一起，都是梦碎的声音。Gerhard Richter《Reading》的画面。
“导演以一种在电影景观中脱颖而出的方式来尊重他们的脆弱和善良，这种方式更容易被幻想破灭的反英雄所吸引。这是电影最深刻的亲密和迷人，当我们反思我们作为一个社会的运作方式时，它让我们了解为什么爱很重要”
想在Elizabeth家的大窗户的落日前抽一只事后烟
我坐上巴士 陪心爱的女孩追梦
1.33:1的学院画幅与35毫米胶片交织构建的影像复古感非常强，男演员不时让人想起Jean Pierre Léaud，Gainsbourg怎么依旧能这么瘦啊！故事恬阔得如同在几近黄昏的下午读一本寥寥数语的短篇，房子的场景总能让人代入少时生活，留下一种思乡的余韵。多一星给自己的私心。
用档案影像完成匹配剪辑的另一侧，加上电子音乐的使用，当然还有侯麦与电影院，80年代的巴黎以非常规的方式被再造，非常好地契合了电影节电影今次的脉搏。
我不知道是感动还是因为影片的质感还是什么，伴随着那个音乐，一直哭一直哭
我懂你爱我，一直都懂。只是我从未觉得我应当拥有你的爱，所以只能珍藏。我想你永远是Matthias，但我不会一直是Talulah，所以我总爱别离。晚安，巴黎、夜、旅人。
没故事没情绪没风格，只可以看绝美的甘斯布和80年代的巴黎。
The Best Original Soundtrack of 2022
会有别人眼中的我们/那些碎片/我们曾以为瞥见的，我们的碎片/会由我们的梦渗透/每一次，我们都是外来者/夜旅人/就像被留在房间的旧镜子上的那些脆弱的阴影/很久很久没有看过这么「舒缓」的电影，一种温暖的东西，慢慢延长，不会被时间停止。反复确认拍摄年份，惊讶导演竟然依然可以拍出法国新浪潮电影的质感，细腻的粗糙感。
那些笑过哭过的少年事一闪而过，太多的人在我们的人生里短暂相逢又挥手永别，在这样的「短」映衬下，一个家庭的长情是多么令人珍贵的存在。
哭了 想到了自己离开父母孤独在法国生活 共情
