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.
2.如果把旁白去掉，这电影算个什么？反之，一部电影要靠旁白推进情节，说明它没有镜头语言，这正是失败。
来自十一月份意料之外的惊喜。前半部分的京圈儿生活，王朔味儿太浓厚了，这果然是他的东西。后半段的留学研究又超脱现实，诗意浪漫。只有别离，才能永恒。
好久没看过如此垃圾的电影了
不着急慢慢看，还可以。一个死心眼闷葫芦遇见两个女疯子，结局只能是被蹂躏碾压，最终陷入幻想，再也看不清真实世界，只剩下自己的臆想。
没有那么难看，也没有那么好看，感情部分有点像本杰明，阿甘正传，又有点像霍乱时期的爱情里面的感觉，但是又不够连续和混乱。王珞丹的出走没有过多的说明，只能说小时候没有得到父母的爱，长大了变得谁都可以爱，也许。
竟然是王朔的本，王珞丹演的最好的一次！王啸坤，是你么？太抢戏了，啊哈哈～三王开泰，可是王传君有点平庸了…
有点尴尬 是属于逻辑乱来的奇幻片 甚至都不奇幻
何止两段，前中后是三段电影吧！
片名很容易让我联想到《本杰明奇事.》，也有人说是结合了《阿甘正传》，我也发觉哦。
应该说不愧是王朔 王传君也真不错 王珞丹不差
故事越讲越差 旁白太多 内核就是青春疼痛文学 无语
好差，导演好差。拍得很用心，但是好差。救命。
两个小时塞下这么多内容实属不容易，台词多得我以为在看二倍速，中间剧情转变太快，像在看两部电影，王传君和王珞丹演得还行；借鉴了本杰明·巴顿奇事？内核很相似。
看片花就喜欢这个调调，可能我总是更喜欢片花，简而意浓。喜欢凌芳和萌萌的混而刚强，甚至胡闹，或许是经历或许是基因，王老化身了耸勇而心软的哥哥游戏人间，不知是不是老王的自比，但他笔下的女性性格依旧。男主却有点不同，看似迟钝却很执著，话不多像是木讷。可能开心很简单，简单很幸福，但抓住它的代价却是看似没心没肺的复杂，但复杂才是人生，最终为的是内心的纯净。
有些压箱底的东西就应该被灰尘掩埋 永不见天日
很高兴看到一部与众不同到青春片，但是作为王朔，还不够
“你好啊，苏凌芳！”爱不知所起，一往而深。
救了个大命，这前后风格像是两个导演两个故事
真的是一部奇片！有奇人奇事奇观，却探讨的是最不愿提及的死亡！王朔的剧本，王传君和王珞丹的演技，八分以上的好片！
关于死亡，和两个女人的爱。
