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.
我们每个人都有自己的生活轨迹，淡入划入，淡出划出。
我觉得一个早孕的单亲妈妈不会让一个陌生男人跟自闭症女儿待在一起然后自己去洗澡。其次自导自演的导演你最好本人也这么sweet，不然太给自己贴金了哈哈哈哈
Cooper长的好像PTA，也和PTA一样喜欢在片子里塞配乐，一个更小成本更青春更简单更没有技巧更朴素的PTA；融化在喝了一杯的不羁夜里，消失在二十多岁的迷茫梦里
自导自演，很厉害～但是这片真的太太无聊了🥱
Andrew really is the sweetest person ever. And I really love Dakota Johnson!
I’m just a dumb kid. I’m drunk now. But that probably was the best time.
惊讶美国还可以拍这么白的电影，尤其是Apple
《恰恰丝滑》
男主和Domino这段感情，既是错位也是对位。看看Domino的情况：年轻貌美，本身面临心理问题，带着多少有点不太正常的孩子，要给孩子找一个继父…这些恰恰都是男主的母亲所经历过的。包括在继父的刻画上，都是那种外表冷漠无聊，甚至看起来有家暴倾向，但骨子里Family大过一切。所以结局的分离也是双重的，一方面是和Domino，而另一方面，更本质的，是和母亲的分离。
dakota在這裡面好迷人啊，講話聲音有點性感。在末尾講很年輕生了孩子，生活就被裹挾了，後來遇到男人，也是在被裹挾。難過 @2022-06-20 05:36:58
没想到是小哥自导自演。丝滑体现在男主身上。好久不见里奇
我真的挺喜欢这种。轻柔温暖的三句话暖她一整天实录（不是）。22岁也许已非少年，但那些心事与动情在“私小说”般的流动里这样生动。克制，温柔而真诚的亲吻和冲动后的一两步退却，挺美好的
好矫情好自恋好无聊好单薄好幼稚 Domino的角色台词都像是teenager意淫出来的年上形象 毫无层次 真的辱成熟女性了 再加上达妹的表演每一秒都在疯狂传达我好美好惨…结果就是很油
全程姨母笑。年轻真好啊，可以不顾一切地去爱去试探去试错。
每个人都在成长，只有体验过后，通过之后才能长大，刻骨铭心。 最后那段男主给妈妈打电话来接他，有点类似请以你的名字呼唤我的桥段。
恰恰丝滑，跟《热带雨》有一丝丝像。青春的阵痛，让你追求更美好的自己。
god 这部电影可能是我今年到现在看过最惊喜的电影了，完全被男主角sweet死。正片颗粒感十足，复古质感满满。从男主这个正直 善良 成熟 的男孩成长为男人的视角切入。三条主线都完成度极高，每个角色都刻画的很深，they all straggled. 青春是那么的精彩，可以放肆去爱，做正确的事情，善待他人，格外成熟，充满激情，却也会伤心崩溃。镜头语言的甜蜜简直渗透出来。男主导演才22岁，未来可期。
男主有一个有趣 快乐 单纯 善良 幼稚的灵魂 这样的可爱人谁不喜欢呢
致那些无家可归的爱恋。我们终会成长为大人。
曾经编导过《机械姬》《湮灭》的亚力克斯·嘉兰在今年编导了这部《男人》。
