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.
知识女性到老都充满魅力！剧本不深，但演员上台面啊，可以可以。
判断一部影片对不对盘，开篇的分别拍摄：普且刻意，到出现第二次会面的安排：方向性彻底失控（摇头）。话疗片一旦在推进过程中有多次的不自然的卡顿尴尬，在我这里就算完了…… ps不可否认艾玛的表演尤其是在餐厅的那身打扮很好看 但这个本子真不行
豆瓣上剧情简介写的是“性心理治疗师”，哈哈求生欲有点强，不过我很喜欢这片，没看过这样的‘情色片’，很有意思，一个道德枷锁附身的嫖客，开始追求自我感受的故事，快乐最重要
真的好有感染力。百老汇的舞台，有生之年真想去看一场
pleasure is not a shame.看名字还以为是一个温情故事，但看完想到的是《女性瘾者》，不在于剧情，而在于启蒙、探索。
也太低成本了吧 一男 一女 一个房间 一台相机就够了
优雅、梦幻、纯粹。这是日暮西山之际的富贵体验，也是极致理想的愉悦。男主的从容不迫和女主的左顾右盼在一开始就相当抓人。探讨的话题深度和真实性令人感慨万千，极具话题的切入点，高雅的表演，密集的台词和循序渐进的性爱模式引人入胜。很好看。
非常棒的剧本！！！尤其是早晨正好开始看《阴道独白》，有了更多体会。将剧本技巧运用到淋漓尽致，像《卢米埃尔与四十大导》之阿巴斯的技巧，只是最后之前的那部分对我来说有些“烂尾”，过于“正能量”了，否则我要惊呼出，比《五点到七点的克莱欧》走得更远。喜欢本片的调色，就像马卡龙一样存粹甜腻
看了一半实在忍不下去了。americanism epitome and condescending PC. 用圣经与黑人交流的桥段令人反胃
节奏掌握得真好，喜剧和正剧之间的切换时机都恰到好处。对话也写得超棒，触到痛处的地方戳两下收一下，绕出去一圈再突然回来戳一下。短小精悍的100分钟，有笑有泪有思考，一切都刚刚好。
哇哦，感觉看这个是我走向成年人的一步了呢。但我还是不同步到动态了，那看来还得继续成长。but，衰老真的有点触动了我，看这个电影，开始珍惜年轻的自己了。噗哈哈哈哈
拥抱自己的身体，和痛苦和解，不带有色眼镜，满足自己的欲望，人生在世短短一瞬，没有那么多时间唧唧歪歪
与一般情爱电影不同的是，本片聚焦做爱前的部分，它甚至都不仅是前戏，而是两个要达成“精神性交”一致的人，他们在身体和精神上的磨合过程，剧作在这点上下了大功夫。艾玛汤普森的角色目的只想做爱，而男主角只想“卖感情”（在我看来这份工作十分有趣），身体上当然也有，但我认为他的终极目的是以此达成精神上的性愉悦。两人磨合的过程，也是彼此敞开心扉、互相了解的过程，打开心结才能身心结合，或许，这才是人和人之间相处最难达成的一致吧，如今的我们仿佛只活在对方的平行时空。
20年了，这群像剧的切入视角真的不错，彷佛完全没有关系的地方和人们。以及我隐约想起疫情之前好像来过上海巡演？？没去看真是太遗憾了TAT
（三星半）虽然是通过中年女性，但反应的却是信息爆炸的今天，逐渐向全年龄女性扩散的“自卑症候群”。接纳自己的身体、性和欲望，那无关道德，享受其中，可有趣的是，导演却没让片子真正享受其中，中间一大段关于“性服务合法与否”的讨论让整个片子落入道德品评，唉，让我享受完整的“高潮”不好么？
男主长得干净又充满欲望。但女人必须要等丈夫死了才能买春，太洁净了
一輩子有好多束縛，掙脫桎梏真的很難。看完覺得很感動，Emma和這個男生的化學反應出奇的不錯。｜和K，她說看完她甚至覺得性工作者真的應該合法化。我說，不，這只是電影，所以很理想很美好。真實的大環境下，合法化只會進一步加深對女性的剝削。
因为《应召女郎》，这部从剧情和立意显得温馨友好。“越界”剧情后面的处理略简单，似乎女主完成体验的期待而完满，但向学生说破真相这段真的是情感的破冰么？因为男主的故事线不立体，握手祝福好运显得拮据。
剧本并不完美，但是加一颗星给Emma。拒绝年龄歧视、身材羞辱，这些都说了很多年了，Emma这个年龄敢这么拍真的好有勇气。与其说是性，不如说是双方借机进行了一套以性为出发点的心理咨询，两个人长时间对话。亲密关系、原生家庭亲子关系中的一些问题的得以释放/解决。当然这毕竟是戏，现实生活中心理问题真要能这么快解决算顿悟、算奇迹了。
QAQ 再看一遍，还是stop the world最戳我 时间好快啊
