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.
没有责任感的父母总是有诸多借口，电影里的至少还懂得反思，而评论里的却各种振振有词。
总结，不婚不育不仅保平安更保幸福
好好看哦。少年以为拥有枪就可以成为大人，且以为成为大人就不会受到伤害。怎么会拍得如此自如，节奏有一股贯通之气，特别喜欢三人在台北计程车生着气又笑起来，和黎明浪掷在立交桥和出租车司机对骂的场景，危险与残酷一定要与游戏感交织。还有一些印象深刻的细节，小琪穿包臀短裙翻栏杆上厕所，拿包抱她过去的是阿兜，但和她做爱的是拿枪的阿国，最后阿兜拿着菜刀要去给阿国报信，自动门开了又关。林强的音乐居然比伍佰的主题曲和电影结合得更好
4.6 2010.06.04 中國電影資料館，話說此場高捷真身也在。
讽刺的是，看这部片就被我儿子的各种琐事打断好多次，即便断断续续，这种“快要窒息”的育儿代入感，只增不减……曾经心里也问过自己很多次，是不是该扔下孩子，跑去山顶或者海边，大喊几声，或者后悔当个妈妈，最后还是对“责任”要妥协……这个世界，给当了“母亲”的女人的枷锁太沉了。
台灣第一部stereo，台灣影史原聲帶前五，期待太高反而覺得還好，空鏡頭使用感覺是受侯導影響，但又覺得切鏡跟調度有些單調，所謂更「寫實」只是比較沒那麼類型，相較之下十年後的美麗時光確實更加細膩且出色。
看了徐小明92年的《少年吔，安啦》，画质感人到我一度放弃画面，专心看台词跟剧情。90年代台湾和香港的黑帮电影完全发展向两个方向，一个很写实，一个很浮夸。写实的生猛有力，浮夸的肆意妄为。《少年安啦》中高捷真是帅出一脸血，想想高仓健正年轻时候的版型，诸如高仓健。
看得我都快得焦虑症了。奥利维亚的表演还是很精彩。
全片埋在無法預料的懸疑氣氛中，就連真相披露以後也還是令人不安，不是個愉快的觀影過程。
成就自我，成就儿女，至多成一项。往往皆不得。
愤怒的初生牛犊，失控地误入歧途。少年吔，安非他命，安非你命啦。
这个剧情很细腻啊，难得！不管拍成什么样，演技够了和基础线够了，还是值得看的。身边最近几年辛苦变老的年轻妈妈越来越多。各种母职形象。视角五分，处女作也可以给四星。导演为杰克的姐姐，，嫉妒啊。。
m2201：开始以旁观者观望别人的幸福，挺感触。希腊线偏弱。奥利维亚和杰西演技赞。插曲《Let Me Tell You All About It》、《livin on a prayer》、《Stala》/Monika
在另一位母亲的身上看到自己过去的影子，连带回忆起曾经的困境与矛盾。电影释放出了勒达面对母亲的责任与向往的独立而彷徨下的负能量，也揭示了没有做好准备却开始抚养孩子的现实问题，暗处的女儿既是家中被冷落的孩子，亦是内心深处渴望爱却又害怕爱的自己。
在想有些时候所谓的“少年气”是不是其实也是一种学坏的toxic masculinity…歌很好听
这是一场对自己的复仇。不是把女人放入人性关怀中去讲，而是把人性放入女性处境中去讲。简洁，完整，严丝合缝，愤怒而节制，好电影。
太震撼了！女性身分、母職、自我意識，似乎從未被這樣的呈現過。導演好厲害啊，每一個畫面都細膩又尖銳，Olivia 和另外幾位女演員的表演在小螢幕上都能感受到撲面而來的情緒和能量。不得不說費蘭特確實是 21 世紀非常重要的女性作家。
想要传达出来的女性之苦、身为母亲的苦楚以及女性选择个人而非家庭的好处是有感受到的，但也因为这种略俗套的处理方式而弱化了，尤其是结尾与达妹的对话和试图展现出来的和解，则是进一步地将这种表达和力量弱化。
为玛吉.吉伦哈尔点一个大大的赞！拍得太好了，完全看不出新手的样子。虽然是一个跟当年的“自己”相遇这样不怎么新鲜的框架，但依然可以借着一个略带悬疑的主线故事被讲述得细腻至极。奥利维亚.科尔曼值得另一个奥斯卡提名，全片的大近景完全没有妨碍她的表现，反而更让人看到她在细微表情处理上的高超。
