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.
这是个什么片子啊为什么会这么高分 吐了 完全看不懂要表达啥 明明是个国语片结果全程看字幕 累死了 脑袋疼
真好看啊，上海男女的小资情调，成年人的你来我往，红拂杂货铺，夜奔咖啡馆，不喜欢马塞洛的索菲亚罗兰……到处都是导演的小心思，这就是我最想看到的本土爱情小品啊！这个五星是冲动了点，冲动就冲动吧
满篇写着都是矫揉造作！
观感很舒适，没有刻意抖机灵也没有狗血爱情，几个主角之间的人物关系戏剧却有说服力，而且好几段台词我都忍不住感叹写得太妙了，尤其喜欢片尾那种故事仍在继续的感觉，让我好像也融入进他们的生活里参与了他们的聊天一样，真是难得的体验
更因为那段罗马往事的长篇独白，
前一个小时的精心搭建，后一小时是有些浪费了。要捉虫的话，第三幕看得很气馁，角色失去意义，就回到了影片开场的那种话剧一样。音乐选得不尽人意，但是不管好坏，说到底，上海还是在为简中文艺兜底。
但这种水平的片子都叫某些人这么嫉妒，建议你照照镜子，看看自己那张悲惨的脸。转行吧！
人物和情境的打造简单高效精准，家宴和画廊两场戏太过瘾了，每句话都暗藏机锋。
真好。
其实演员都没问题啊，不知道为啥有点食之无味的感觉，等哪天再看一遍如果感觉改变再来改分
爱情神话这名字取的真贴切，电影就是一则写实的童话。用上海话拍情景喜剧太合适了，人物有反差就会可爱。我躺在浦东新区的18平米的小房间里，按下就业焦虑，忍受着髋关节的刺痛，一边思考着就医就业毕业啃老等宏大的议题，一边欣赏着土著小资群体岁月静好的精神空虚。
最出彩是睡了索菲亚罗兰的林教头
如果这电影是男导演拍的，还会有今天这个景象么？想来也挺刻板的。

上海话非常international啊，想象了一下我们的方言也这么拍……感觉就像看科幻片一样。不过，我们的方言可能撑不到下一代了。
当前妻对男主说出：“我只不过是犯了全天下男人都会犯的错，外面只是玩玩，家里才是第一位”，太讽刺搞笑了。
这可能关系到上海中产阶级的小资风貌，更多的其实关乎到在题材范畴日渐狭小的当下日渐膨胀的“元电影”式作者导向。我已经记不清今年看过多少部开口就是费里尼闭口就是塔可夫斯基的国产电影了。
金句很多，但整体到底讲了什么，饭局很棒，好歹学一学《饮食男女》让富婆倪虹洁睡了白鸽，让徐峥喊一句“该死的老猫”。。。
随风而逝吧
演员普遍很好，就算是还不太会演戏的新演员状态也是妥帖舒适的。但配乐乱用（感觉这好像是电影学院学生的一个通病），台词写得过分精巧，恨不得十个字说十句话，强加在照着模子写的传声筒式人物口中，用力过猛反而做不到小品式的四两拨千斤，成了讨喜无害的小资神话。
