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.
这种电影可太费枕头套了。
而那些寻常又不平凡的拨动人心的细节
跟花束对比还是差了一些
生活常态，习惯就好，以上。
バス停までの十五分はとても綺麗だった
不太喜欢叙事的顺序，这哪里只是稍微想起一些！
不得不说伊藤莎莉资源这几年是真的好
真是细腻，能有刚好踩上拍的点，大爷讲真理呢
看到一半才看明白
看完之后对网上很多莫须有的渣男指摘十分不理解，最后郑宇星和陈辰的吻是愧疚也是慰藉，是混乱迷离的音乐节现场气氛下的冲动和荷尔蒙。即使郑宇星真的不喜欢陈辰，但她在他心中也应该不仅仅是一个普通朋友这么简单。陈辰过生日那天郑宇星给她混“拥抱”的remix，她的手慢慢举起 伴奏的声音越来越高的那一刻真的有被震撼到起鸡皮疙瘩。 总之，这部电影探讨了很多隐晦的东西，我说不清楚，但我明白。

- 印象深刻的是吵架戲，締結關係後的責任感迫使我們越過界限期望幫助。但探索自己，解救自己的路大概只能陪伴，伴侶無法做出任何實質性的幫助。城市的馬路、人、時間都是一塊塊的紀念碑，路過時我們總會沾濕雙眼，為美好時光致敬。
滑滑梯、拉着手起舞、海洋馆、失败、愤怒、游戏、势均力敌、说不清道不明的互相吸引。前几周oh card抽到的爱原来在说这部电影啊… 那看电影同时在聊天的人会不会就是那个恋人
7分。
4.5，私心很喜欢，强化场所承载的意义，又通过倒叙强化每一分遗憾的情绪。有时候在纠结，多部创作后整体更为工整而圆熟，但又觉得好像失去了青涩时期的那份锐气。
浪漫文青版《我们无法成为大人》，松居大悟拍爱情片还算中规中矩吧
看到电影三分之一处，反应过来是倒叙，本来以为把一个可以正着讲的故事倒叙会很俗套，但是效果出乎意料的好，感觉就像《记忆碎片》+《爱乐之城》
7.0 完美阐述了《花束般的恋爱》里的那句“开始是结束的开始”。回忆里的人不会犯错，回忆里的人才会觉得错过
在居酒屋门口抽烟，风吹的屋外不知道什么帆布乱飞，看上去就很舒服。
好像讲了些什么，又好像没有，生活就是这样平淡中透着一点温馨，这种风格我喜欢
