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.
翻拍美国四十年代的片子，阵容豪华，大牌云集。影片长达两个半小时，以男主角的经历，可以分成两个部分。第一部分是男主角在乡村流动马戏团的崛起，凭其过人的天赋及年轻外表，他在马戏团顺风顺水技艺大长，并娶得美人归。第二部分则是他在都市的铩羽而归，他的欲望飙升，自信心爆棚，两个恶人相遇搞出血雨腥风，又被城市恶人玩弄于股掌，露出乡巴佬的本来面目。最后他的人生走出一个循环，坠入悲惨地狱。有可观赏性，只是叙事太啰嗦了，让观众紧张不起来。
第一部分的马戏团太拖沓了，都快丢了。从后半部分心理医生登场开始渐入佳境。听说原版更好，有机会再看。
宛如一场漫长的噩梦，红衣的少女金发的少妇平原上闪烁的摩天轮，美丽又泛着诡谲的画面翻滚不息。故事最大的问题是我对他们毫无连接感，观影的感受至始至终都太抽离了。我觉得他们彼此也是disconnected，我和他们亦然。
Substance, structure, graphics. Some wins, some losses. Fable-ish story, sometimes too in the face. Cooper, Blanchett, Mara, and Colette are spectacular.
没看过老版的情况下，观感很好，库伯演习越来越厉害了。
非常平庸的翻拍，即使制作水平都是一流的。大魔王依旧这么魅惑！
过于冗长，以至于前后失衡，使得后半部分人物的小丑式表演匆匆上演，但精准的镜头依然彰显了制作水准之高
拍这么长可能是为了“炫耀”登顶之后花不完的预算…慢悠悠地展示着服装场景的奢侈 尤其是前半段的嘉年华 时时刻刻感觉得到经费在燃烧 客观来说这个故事挺有趣 人物也很有魅力 Toro擅长的奇幻包装手法只限于相对单纯浅显的故事 这个故事看得出他的野心 但努力往深里走的剧本又超出他的能力 不过岁末年初能看到这么棒的阵容集合在一部观赏性很强的片子里 对观众来说也够了
陀螺的色调和美术真的强大，复古美感爆棚，艺术指导奖板上钉钉了，布兰切特的气质也完美融合，整体来说前半部马戏团拍的更好
被低分的作品，德尔托罗的风格依旧犀利，有一点类似于邪恶版的远大前程，乡村小子学了一堆技巧，贪婪的他想要的更多，结果惹了不该惹的人，做了不该做的事情。
差点看睡着了……多给点情怀分吧，感觉剧情已经没有新的突破点了。各路CP粉狂喜的一部。最后感觉整出了替身来了，看到很难不笑出声
服化道美术这些视觉部分还是很强啊。不过影片本身，更像是陀螺自己在还愿了，去重温一场旧梦。但这样的电影，在当下确实很少共鸣了。
/这位导演的镜头场景太美了
看完有段时间了，但是还得当时看完后脑子里的第一反应：不愧是你啊陀螺。
完成度自然不用说，毕竟团队在那摆着呢。陀螺的美学真的是淋漓尽致的展现，众大牌也算各司其职，呈现了不错的群像。可真的就是太！长！了！
美术无懈可击。不过需要再看两遍卡罗尔+水形物语来治愈剧情的伤。
用一个充满水分的一线男星来炒冷饭，配料再足也不够味儿。视听享受、故事道理和表演张力还是缺一不可啊。。。
我甚至觉得，最后片中男主说“mister, I was born for it (geek).” 有点作者自己的影子。
看到大家都说看睡了，我就放心了。作为陀螺粉还是要爬起来二刷/二刷，不该叫《玉面情魔》，应该叫《沉睡魔咒》/三刷黑白版，质感马上不一样了。然而依然逃不过沉睡魔咒
一场银幕怪物秀，我不说不好，是因为我没花钱。6
