Whenever I see La Paura I think of it as a companion piece to Eyes Wide Shut, or maybe it is the other way around. Adultery makes both films tick but in different ways. I think Phillip French was right on the money when he pointed out a Wizard of Oz thing in Kubrick's last work. Like Dorothy, Tom and Nicole go through fantasies and nightmares and at the end Dorothy's reassuring childish motto "there's no place like home" is ironically updated to the adult circumstantial adage "there's no sex like marital sex". Kubrick's take is intellectual, he never leaves the world of ideas to touch the ground. He taunts the audience first with an erotic movie and then with a thriller and refuses to deliver either of them. He was married to his third wife for 40 years, until he died. Rossellini was still married to Ingrid Bergman when he directed La Paura; they had been adulterous lovers and their infidelity widely criticized La Paura is a tale, a noirish one. The noir intrigue is solved and the tale has a happy ending. The city is noir; the country is tale, the territory where childhood is possible. The transition is operated in the most regular way: by car, a long-held shot taken from the front of the car as it rides into the road, as if we were entering a different dimension. Irene (Bergman) starts the movie: we just see a dark city landscape but her voice-over narration tells us of her angst and informs us that the story is a flashback, hers. Bergman's been cheating on her husband. At first guilt is just psychological torture but soon expands into economic blackmail and then grows into something else. From beginning to end the movie focuses on what Bergman feels, every other character is there to make her feel something. Only when the director gives away the plot before the main character can find out does he want us to feel something Bergman still can't. When she finds out, we have already experienced the warped mechanics of the situation and we may focus once again on the emotional impact it has on Bergman's Irene. In La Paura treasons are not imagined but real, nightmares are deliberate and the couple's venom suppurates in bitter ways. Needless to say, Ingrid has another of her rough rides in the movies but Rossellini doesn't dare put her away as he did in Europa 51, nor does he abandon her to the inscrutable impassivity of nature (Stromboli). His gift is less transcendent and fragile than the conclusion of Viaggio in Italia. He just gives his wife as much of a fairy tale ending as a real woman can have, a human landscape where she can finally feel at home. Back to the country, a half lit interior scene where shadows suggest the comfort of sleep. After all, it's the "fairy godmother" who speaks the last words in the movie.
三星半，影后表演加一分吧。
剧情有些空泛，几位英法意半老徐娘东拼西凑，幸好有埃德-哈里斯提振一下 。

比《古惑仔》更粗糙，更写实，也更黑暗。90年代香港古惑仔系列在大陆青少年间爆红，除了几个主角颜值与演技在线之外，里面推崇的“江湖义气”，“豪爽”，“耍帅”占据了很大的成分，哪怕去死也是轰轰烈烈的。混黑道可以这么有型，当然趋之若鹜。台湾的黑帮影片则抹去了这一层美化，看这帮少年在黑路上越陷越深，丝毫没有一种畅快感。横尸街头得来如蝼蚁鸿毛，没有人看完它会想当混混，立意高下立判。

一个感情创伤的人，内心深处就是一部惊悚片。而这部片子的长度，可能是他的一生。想起郑智化的《成熟》：那成熟了一半的女人/和成熟了一半的我/在那成熟了一半的世界/做出了成熟一半的事/那成熟了一半的青春/和了成熟了一半的爱/在那成熟了一半的岁月/谱成了成熟了一半的歌
有一种奇怪却迷人的节奏，让你去探究一个（作为女性）的女性。
画质太差实在无法看下去。。有牯岭街里的谭志刚（小马），这人好可惜。还有颜正国，看过几部片里有他小屁孩时期的形象，这部里面有他变声期青少年的样子。
林强和罗大佑联手奉献全片最佳镜头。太想卖弄江湖气，加之叙事不清，抒情只得一击即碎，仿佛笑话。看完就感到，《南国再见，南国》真是可遇不可求
所以说，无论如何生活都是惊险的。留下来也好，逃走也好，如果要以一种诗意想象的期待来面对生活，那么溃烂不可避免。要去体验真实，要洞悉人的本性，借由忍耐和克服，建立一种生活信条，才能躲过怀疑和虚无的追击。
一人的假期，成了各式drama的风眼，欲望、挑衅、阴邪、愧疚和短暂的交心，表面很无辜，后来发现是内心的魔鬼在吸引同类。在《幼儿园老师》里后知后觉MG的作者气质，她对同胞角色的呵护是演员的福祉，两代英伦匠星也如期献上了现象级表演，时刻享受着不能更近的镜头。呵护但不偏袒，是精神中立的character study，自信豁达到给观众足够空间思考呼吸。尤其为Buckley开心，几年青云直上后就拿到了学院提名的前缀，从此天有多高尽情飞吧，就是别忘了隔段时间回舞台看看。top 2021
宣告了玛吉·吉伦哈尔作为优秀导演的诞生，也宣告了一部优秀的女性主义电影应该是什么样子。很少能看到将女性的内心创伤与面对外界的各种不安互动心理以如此细微、悬置的方式呈现出来，既是费兰特也是导演的功力。一种能真切体认到的病态情境在持续发生，在主人公以为能获得对方谅解却意外被刺后，病症却也舒缓了下来，以痛止痛，收尾很妙。电影在说，没有哪个女人能理解哪个女人，或说没有哪个人能真的理解你自己，连你也困顿其中。
搭配最近看的 从零开始的女性主义、最好的决定食用。同时，作为电影拍的太好了！
觉得自己在恐婚恐育的道路上越走越远 （倒也并不在意
玛吉·吉伦哈尔导演处女作，获威尼斯最佳剧本，亦是颁奖季真正佳作。1.一部直面女性充满挫败与愁闷的“母性”修炼之旅的电影，大胆地以虽毅然反叛家庭活出自我却身陷罪疚与孤独泥淖的女学者为主角，一如片名，几位女性与洋娃娃既身为“迷失的女儿”，又失去了女儿的真正踪迹。2.科尔曼的表演浑然天成，杰西·巴克利将年轻女主带孩子的烦郁愤苦、终在家庭外尝到一缕幸福时的欣悦满足及与女儿忍痛离别时的悲喜交加演绎得无懈可击，达科塔则展现出慵懒倦怠与紧张绝望的交织错杂。3.一部心理现实主义与不可靠叙事范本，首尾海滩如同梦境套层，闪烁灯塔、腐败水果、蝉迹松果等均为女主破败崩解的身心外化，结尾公路恍若林奇[妖夜荒踪]。4.大量手持镜头与虚焦特写，即沉浸又暧昧。5.时空错乱与音画错位的剪辑，恍若自我绵延与记忆流淌。6.配乐绝赞。（8.8/10）
本来可以更好，向欧洲电影靠拢的那种好，但闪回的段落实在过多，让本来可以保有的若有似无的神秘及恍惚 和本可以留给观众去想象去填补去回味的部分，全部交给闪回固定死，失去了诸多韵味。变得很好莱坞。
这个剧情很细腻啊，难得！不管拍成什么样，演技够了和基础线够了，还是值得看的。身边最近几年辛苦变老的年轻妈妈越来越多。各种母职形象。视角五分，处女作也可以给四星。导演为杰克的姐姐，，嫉妒啊。。
20220201le。氛围营造的非常好，以为会有什么剧烈的冲突发生，最终有点虎头蛇尾之感。
“I’m mean too.” “Well, you’re in good company.” 奥特曼和小怪兽，“不会过去。”
