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.
感情的部分有些没那么touch，但险恶的社会是真险恶的
比如遭受纳粹迫害的犹太同性恋会用粉色六芒星标记，同性恋所遭受的苦役是这场种族大清洗中额外附加的酷刑环节，比如芬兰情色艺术家笔下的汤姆，比如波兰七八十年代用所谓“风信子行动”设立“粉红档案”来勒索和压迫同性恋，比如“石墙运动”，性少数群体的平权之路早在艾滋的死亡威胁与划等号的疾病歧视之前就已走得磕磕绊绊，真的平等了吗，社会包容度有所提升了吗，未必。波兰政治家的公开歧视登上国际新闻，尚有伊斯兰国家保留“石刑”，同性婚姻合法化至今只有少数发达国家投赞成票，而底层同性恋者依旧是“特殊利益集团”内同性恋用之即弃的棋子，性少数群体完美复制主流社会暗杀、搞玩权弄术的卑劣手段。同性恋群体同样有人渣，牢牢占据权势、吸食系统的养分，并不会贡献自己的一丁点力气。电影要求并不过份，不要求包容，仅仅要求做一个好人。
一个国家的警察体系疯狂地打击同性恋。后来发现作为警察的主角，逐渐温柔地沦陷于同性恋中。最终发现，对同性恋咬牙切齿的警察头子们，才是玩同性玩得最疯狂的人。国家大力侦破的刑事案件，真正的谜底揭开后，力促破案者也是作案者。这个电影想表达的东西太剽悍了。但在我看来表达力度一般。有点可惜了这个题目。
剧本很扎实，技巧很专业，传统故事片，可以开发一个长剧了。
6.8，为什么这种片的评分会下意识地高出普通水平很多，题材很好但拍的属实不那么好看
天啊，这么得劲的题材怎么能拍得这么不得劲……男主长得好像(刘德华+开花)/2
剧本、演技、剪辑甚至调色，均为上乘。阴冷、压抑、肃杀，对这种熟悉的配方，喜爱有加，百看不腻。铁幕穹顶笼罩下，人人自危，连表达快乐的方式也寥寥无几。大到国家治理及国际关系，小到人格独立和个性自由，都充斥着扭曲。一句点睛台词：“做人不能什么都害怕，尤其害怕自由”。这类带有强烈辨识度的历史反思题材，恰恰较多出现在前苏联的几个傀儡国，这并不是偶然。从记忆里随手掂来的小片单：《毛骨悚然》《黑暗之家》《审问》《七天》《铁幕阴影下》，当然，还有更多人熟悉的《窃听风暴》。
算是传统黑暗反体制的类型片了 互相欺骗也来不及互相拯救了 我会去找你的结尾 就像在说 算了 下一次吧
很不错的类型剧本，除了男主像个瘟神一样，走到哪都有人被杀。
整部片的基调太压抑了，冷工业风格加上大量空镜镜头，这部电影非常适合深夜一个人看。故事的主旨就是建立在欺骗之上的，在一个同性恋是罪恶的地狱般的波兰，同性恋者来自各个行业各个背景，却都被打上了难以磨灭的烙印，只能隐藏逃窜否则就会被毁灭。短短不到两小时的片子，刻画了多个人物，都很成功，故事讲述的也挺不错的，不恐怖，就是太压抑。男二做了每一个观众都想做的事，那就是摸摸男主的小胡子😂
可能就好在，人物身份的铺垫，人物形象的反差，90分钟刚刚好，剧情紧凑，没有多余的镜头。
“人不能对一切感到恐惧，尤其是自由。”
節奏奇快，部份情節處理過於商業。比性取向更要扭曲的政治取向。男主今年這部加《Leave No Traces》，同樣借史事反抗體制，人們不會忘記。你走吧，我會找到你。
三颗星统统给演员的颜值。
比大多数Netflix电影不知道好到哪里去，波兰冬季将至未至的雪，笼罩在夜色下的巨大工业建筑物(BDO福音），谋杀元素几乎找到刺心的另一种诠释，Tomasz Zietek也演的好好，我确信了这个爱情故事。
男主明明是个小奶狗长相偏要留八字胡装硬汉，就很可爱😉/////看完了。本来前半段的阴谋黑幕铺垫得挺好的以为是个步步为营揭露内部腐败的破案电影，结果后半段谈起了恋爱，不是恋爱不好看，实在是觉得浪费了一个好悬疑故事
男主和小帅哥还挺好嗑的，但是未婚妻太惨了吧。
“人不能对一切感到恐惧，尤其是为了自由。”
希望历史不要重演，希望历史赶快翻篇……
剧情有点老套，看到一些“早就预料到啦”的剧情甚至有点出戏，但不妨碍这片的好看，快节奏的“犯罪”类同影，这种feel真的很令人压抑喘不过气......大波波最近又在搞LGBTQ的事儿了，别回去啦kurwa
