回复 :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.

回复 :位于加拿大曼尼托巴省的城镇温尼伯，听来遥远陌生，在盖·马汀的掌镜下，却生成了乡愁的有机体。透过梦呓的旁白说书、迷幻写实的黑白光影，导演亲自带路，娓娓道来家乡的历史、自然与人文踪迹，以及谜样传说。建构故事与剪接纪实之余，导演对家乡的抒情神往与奇想，让影片依附着神秘和追忆穿越时空，恍如隔世却又亲密温馨。现代, 加拿大 Manitoba 省 Winnipeg 市~ 导演 Guy Maddin 独坐在火车上, 正准备离开黑白色的家乡 Winnipeg, 和处处监管着他一举一动的母亲~ 一路上, 他在半梦半醒中忆述故乡的种种往事, 一些充满回忆的建筑物, 还有童年时与家人相处的点点滴滴~评语加拿大导演 Guy Maddin 最近几部电影都沾上一点自传气息, “Cowards Bend the Knees” (弱者无腰骨) [2003] 以自己为主角讲冰上曲棍球, 上一部长片 “Brand Upon the Brain!” (追忆少年狂) [2006] 仍充当主角诉说一个奇情侦探故事, 今次索性以自己的童年和家乡 Winnipeg 的历史为题, 拍出一部充满奇想的自传电影~ 又或者如映后摄影师兼监制 Jody Shapiro 及导演在访问中所言, 称之为一部 “幻想纪录片” (docu-fantasia) 或更加合适~Guy Maddin 一向扮默片残片的新潮复古风格在这里依然处处可见, 不过这手法在此更成为一种实用而贴切的表现形式, 配合有如印象主义式的超快速剪接和导演本人不停喃喃自语的内心独白, 以表达主角 Guy Maddin (Darcy Fehr 饰) 半梦半醒的混乱思绪和复杂错乱的回忆片段~ 黑白菲林和残片朦胧不清的效果, 也正好切合长年严寒飘雪, 色彩单调的城市 Winnipeg 的风貌~在 “My Winnipeg” 故事中反覆重现的种种元素, 简直像是心理分析理论的教材, 例如缠绕心头不去的童年往事, 儿子对母亲又爱又怕的矛盾关系~ 那些一闪即逝的字幕卡就如被抑压的旧记忆, 主角对河流交汇处和母亲双腿的迷恋, 就如他一直潜藏在心底的 fixation~不过, 要是太严肃和理论性地分析这电影, 或会忽略这其实是一部非常有趣, 非常感人, 非常富创意, 刻意让真实与虚构混驳不清的独特作品~ 电影一方面把 Winnipeg 这个天气异常寒冷的偏远城市写成一个饶富诗意, 满街都是梦游者的地方, 又把城中的历史大事串连成一个个私人的回忆, 对一些具纪录价值的建筑物加上个人的情感投射, 爸爸的冰上曲棍球场和母亲的发廊固然是的场所, 就连镇上的名人们也成为追忆依恋的对象~
