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.
那个年代的反思电影波兰已经拍了不少，这次加了同性元素，仍然有波兰电影学派朴素无华的特点。
对这种片子来说，人物对话好看已经绰绰有余。总之永远是受迫害的一方。
转折和感情生硬得不得了，男主和女主的亲密镜头都比和男二多
太配了 要是有个后续该多好 是我一直都想嗑的类型的cp
镜头色调很喜欢，但是剧情抛开背景，真让人恶心
男主的选择太顺撇了，或者导演有意想表达的就是潜意识发现之旅，各方面都很中规中矩
结局倒是挺利索的，应该是我希望快点结束吧
另外每一个空间下的角色张力关系都展现得极其到位，在Robert家里两个人推搡亲吻，在你来我往的挣扎中突破心里道德的线那场戏特别好，一下子就串到《春光乍泄》去了。
初遇-"我觉得你应该要帮助我";
还行吧，比较复古的西部牛仔，不是很精彩，故事还是不错的。
整个故事的80年代波兰社会残酷冰冷压抑的氛围拍得真是棒的，悬疑犯罪戏的氛围拉满。前25分钟的案件悬念很足，情节节奏很快，案件线和人物情感线一直扭结，最好看的就是男主的reverse，人性的变量。5星给勇敢记录那段真实年代的电影创作者。
结合历史背景的话应该算是比较阴暗的时期，当记录进“风信子档案”就意味着被跟踪、扣押和勒索，却是压抑了一部分同性恋人热爱自由的渴望。警察和同性恋学生的cp也很好嗑，两人在讯问室时的演技简直巅峰，最后“我不会丢下你一个人的”“我会找到你的”，警察最后没有屈服于现实选择安稳和被安排好的生活，真的是非常勇敢。
千万次地问：怎么人家电影就能拍得这么漂亮呢 为什么我们就塑料感那么重呢
因为是gay所以有罪。强权一直都需要彰显他的威严，只不过对方的身份让暴力来得更有理由罢了。
演技都还是不错的，虽然故事都还是相对老套的故事，在线水平吧
Tomasz终于演到了一个像样的角色，80年代阴冷华沙被拍得好美好绝望
不过也是因为罗伯特特别好看才撑着看完，甚至解锁了一个新的年龄段类型，介于青年与大叔之间，我流管这叫小叔（？）
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
“我们不能对一切都感到恐惧，尤其是为了自由。”
“做人不能什么都害怕，尤其在为了自由时~” 片长不是112分钟嚒？
