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.
cooper还不错，Cate Blanchett气场强大，吉尔莫托罗得影片画面总是很唯美，那迷人的血红，耀眼的金黄，就像是腐蚀男人心智的贪婪，最后归于宿命。Cate Blanchett太厉害，无论是何种面孔都能令人产生错觉，碾压了同场的Cooper，不过故事没有期待中的那么奇情，于是有点意犹未尽。
看一看中国互联网上遍地生长的大胃王吃播，畸形且阴森，行尸走肉一样麻木地啃噬食物，不自知表演自我伤害的同时，对自己也感到冷漠，回过头来再看陀螺此次经典翻拍，确实不太行，对吧。
犹豫在两三星之间，鉴于我算半个陀螺粉丝，那还是两星了。这个片子的观感实际上比《猩红山峰》还要差，至少《猩》建立了一套“红土为血”的概念奇观，以及剧情上骨科这个悬疑点，《玉面情魔》则是啥都没有。已经不要求他还能给出《鬼童院》或者《潘神》那种有多异内容的文本，这次他连自己最擅长的构建一个怪形都做不到。我也认为翻拍是需要导演有足够多的新解读空间才有必要做的事，陀螺这次则像给原故事写同人设定。所有人物都是空洞的，浪费了这么多好的配角。主演库珀更是灾难级，木脸贯穿2个半小时。陀螺在拿了不令人信服的威尼斯和奥斯卡大奖之后，更需要墨西哥三杰的其他二人帮他做制片。如果纯粹是玩票之作的话，那就更失望了。
我怎么感觉这要是在中国，这老板真是无敌的好老板，这些员工才全是刁民，呵呵
确实很长所以我是两倍速看的，但是很能get到。如果后面真的有超能力就好啦。女性角色很平庸没什么创新。
前后呼应还是可以的 男主最终成为了他口中没有soul的geek 但是凯特那个Doctor角色的行为动机真的有点不清晰 还有说的很厉害的那个2号客人那段剧情很虎头蛇尾 把自己的女友叫来装鬼魂 一秒破功是什么鬼？而且这样的大老板竟然被男主这个骗子在自己的地盘赤手空拳打死？头号手下被他用车撞死？总觉得过于敷衍
靠一些Carol情结（又是rabbit又是Christmas然而魔兔全程无互动 很好奇如此无聊的剧情怎么拍到两个半小时的不如去看freak show 以及第一次发现Cooper侧脸好像Ralph😑
对不起，欧洲人对公平的追求超越了对效率的渴望。也有可能我被美式管理术PUA了。
第一幕马戏团篇幅虽然很陀螺但是和后面的故事太格格不入了，完全割裂开了
摄影服装和美术视觉方面就像入口就化的牛奶巧克力，你可以相信《水形物语》的导演在这方面的绝对质感。但除此以外真的就像一滩烂泥，又长又臭又稀巴烂。故事完全没有让人看下去的欲望，如果不是几个奥斯卡戛纳影帝影后级的卡司阵容，这片子绝对就崩了。我不喜欢这种明明不复杂但却搞得看似特别深邃和拿捏的劲儿。当然，演员没有提奥斯卡个人奖项也是有道理的。剧情限制了演员的发挥，太拿架子了，看的让人不舒服。
4.5，没看过原作，2.30小时不觉得长，意犹未尽。
前面的铺垫确实太过冗长 导致结尾没办法撑得起来
卡罗尔后大魔王&鲁尼玛拉终于合作了可惜没有对手戏
7.0 超长第一幕，陀螺的黑暗风格得以充分展现，剧情简单，节奏慢，头重脚轻，选角失败（男主）。童年创伤，怪人故事。
为了魔王和麻辣兔看的结果对手戏只有大概10秒。。。气得我回去又来一遍Carol @バルト９
节奏不当，故事乏味，立意无趣。陀螺痴迷于一些个人钟爱的元素无法自拔，对影片的深入挖掘倒是晾在一边。冗长的两个半小时，票房口碑双扑街简直理所当然。春节双片都如此乏味无聊我是没想到，之前很多博主扬言在家看古驰+玉面过年，吊打看院线片。现在看来倒是未必了。
不说那些神乎其神的东西，纯纯观感上来说就是难看。前面事陀螺得快乐星球，后半段这么好的演员们都没发挥出张力。包括大魔王在内放水空间都不大，这种脸谱化的表演和人物设计真的够够的。服化道另说，但对于陀螺来说也不值得一夸。
2.5/5 比较喜欢前半Carnival的部分 虽然拖拉了 但至少发挥了陀螺的风格 后半部分叙事乏味 演员之间又毫无火花😪
众多人物的设置，相互背景和新旧关系，引发一连串的戏剧冲突，具有挺自然和流畅的交互。满腹经纶满嘴仁义道德的老板，最终依然长袖善舞化险为夷，成为笑到最后的那个大大大赢家。最有可能倒逼资本的那几个，最终也耍尽阴谋成了花样赢家。而我们以为处处都掌握一手好棋子的被解雇会计师，则是唯一的一个输家。反套路之下，道尽魔幻。四个字——因吹斯汀。
6.5/10，不理解但也有点儿喜欢，理解了但也没那么喜欢，水形物语也没那么喜欢，但视听确实很好，我可能不太适合陀螺，不是，反过来，
