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.
两个女主都喜欢，演技爆炸！！
20211227 人生啊，一眨一闭就是一辈子，王啸坤是亮点，小痞子演的不错！
看片名以为会是另一部《本杰明巴顿奇事》 但竟然会是这么奇怪的电影 怪到可以让人继续往下看能翻出什么花来//原来是王朔的编剧 难怪前半段的戏谑京味如此熟悉//而从中段开始故事转向对生死与记忆的思考 不过就是真的没有想到导演能这么拍 又疯癫又神奇//活着怕时间不够用 死了怕事情没做完 永生不老又仿佛是一种可怕的诅咒//人的三次死亡到文艺男中年这儿只剩下一次 就是初次心动的爱人彻底忘记自己
故事还算有意思，几个主演表演的也还算不错，但整体就是感觉乱乱的，只能说明导演能力不行了
PS：王传君后期的造型有种梦回《药神》的赶脚。
怪异的故事，是小说不是电影，能品出王朔独特的语感，但已不是那个时代。王传君是配音吧？
但事实是并没有，且差很远
比本杰明差了五万四千里。但是值得鼓励。
故事的开头和我电影的开头，居然出奇的一致。太可怕了。
2021.12.12 旁白多到都能凑出一部广播剧了，你说我是看电影呢，还是听电影呢？反正我是真的讨厌王朔。
其实…我觉得这分低了点，整体感觉还是挺不错的，可能后半段有点点拉垮。
两星半，剧情和台词水平完全不匹配啊，内容与爱情无关，是在讲生老病死？王珞丹扮演的苏凌芳演出了米莱的感觉，最后吴彦姝的老年苏凌芳让我流下了眼泪，王传君一直是稳定输出。
要素過多，風格割裂，旁白過長，瑕疵太多。男主演技不ok。但不是爛片，導演值得再一次，或再三次機會。
2.演员演技都在线，女主各个时期的变化、女二古灵精怪的可爱、摇滚好友的不靠谱却极为讲义气，都比较亮眼，可惜有点儿浪费男主的好演技
看评分没抱希望，却还觉得不错。调调很好，情绪把控的也不错，剧情稍垮，总体质量上层。豆瓣对国产片太苛刻了
这是一个神经外科 神经干细胞研究方向 医学生打的四星 oct4 sox2 看的出来科研部分拍的很认真 就是严重违背医学伦理🙃
故事的开头和我电影的开头，居然出奇的一致。太可怕了。
意外的还不错！叙述方式很有沉浸感，整体叙事超级王朔，大多演员能立住（尤其女二丁萌萌）。就是有点三段式太割裂了。有趣嘿嘿
呈现出的爱情也是一种莫名其妙的自我感动。
有想法，虽然口碑两极分化很严重，但是看完之后再思考一下好像也是通的，并不是单纯说爱情和男男女女那些事，也并不是延时症，干细胞等等的学术问题，只是借了这些东西在讨论人生和活着这样的大问题，这样想似乎就不是那么难以接受了
