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.
又一个类似于连的小镇青年来到巴黎闯荡，找情妇，找工作，忙到最后又如何。。从前不可能的，如今一一成为可能：银行家从政了，平民也可以发达了。。。天真+虚荣，害人又害己……
“我带你回归写作，回归你自己，也许，有一天你会感激我的！”
surprisingly我挺惊喜的，可能因为预期比较低并且没看过原著，就像我在没看过The Great Gatsby的时候觉得改编的电影版很好一样
阶级突破后得意忘形，打回原形，忘了自己想要什么！
不知道誰翻譯的字幕⋯今天出來SRT字母了，由於名著改編，必須先來一牙三星。剛開始觀看。
哈哈，精辟～
前半部分以为是「一个记者的诞生」，其实是「一场游戏一场梦」。
Lucien本来要讽刺一本书，然而在他看完书后，说"我无法诋毁这本书，它有着力量，感情...文章inspired，sincere，never conventional."
这个不是爱情片。让我想起《俊友》那个话外音有点无聊了。男主演的好。懵懂无知到初涉世事，然后是出人头地到纸醉金迷，到幻灭迷失，最后方能大彻大悟！
完整性比较高，对于没看过巴尔扎克幻灭的是个普及。乱入多兰可还行hhh
原著为电影加分不少，资本主义的道理几百年颠扑不破，底层人向上，在没有资本的情况下必须要站稳自己的立场。男主的演技略显呆滞，撑不起来整个片子…
引用句评论:城市套路深，我要回农村。
小民喜好的就是谣言，造谣的媒体自然成为社会焦点。连捧带杀，多家媒体火力并开，谁又会想到这仅仅是为了制造热点，收割韮菜。男主有幸经历这一切，即便幻灭，平生亦足矣。
典型的欧洲文艺片调调，被金钱支配的人生从起步升空到幻灭的过程，比较冗长，多兰作为旁观讲述者表现一般，和男主有点点像，但肉眼可见的胖了。
我真没想到会被这么古（老）典（旧）的叙事感染到，一些地方值得细品。
还是好长...结构很好的电影，光影声色都很棒。历史之下，社会的暗流大概只换皮囊。
Allociné的评分还挺高的，电影院看的我觉得也还ok。就是正片2h30，无数次我都在走神，但是不妨碍get故事情节。剧院 记者 贵族 很多主题可以挖一挖！
西部片一直是心头好，再加枪战更是必看榜首……比起60年代著名的镖客系列差点，贵在短小精炼、紧凑有序、故事完整，小哥颜值超高，荐！
虽然但是短评里某位，《交际花盛大衰记》是什么鬼，《交际花盛衰记》、《交际花荣枯记》甚至直译《交际花的辉煌与苦难》也行，巴尔扎克看了盛大衰记这个新名字不晓得会不会痛哭流涕。《幻灭》本来就不是个人成长型故事，巴写《幻灭》虽然有短评里所说的意图，但本意也是鞭策自己，巴明明用更多得多的篇幅去揭露新闻界、文艺界的腐化怪相，说第二部是巴黎社会生活横断面也不为过，考虑到时长问题，导演以此为侧重点无可厚非，但删掉小团体我持保留意见。ps:裸戏确实辣眼睛，我不懂有什么存在的意义。（我坚持认为《幻灭》的体量不该拍电影，66版的迷你剧就很不错
这样的剧作堪称经典，不仅是对社会中的尔虞我诈、勾心斗角、世态炎凉的精准刻画，亦是对那样一种社会体系的描绘，这种作品的经典之处在于其不因社会形态的变化而消失，却随之在人世间何种阶段都会不断复演——经典永不过时…🥃
