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.
#Sundance2022# 很cult啊 结尾的死亡不错 发现前面是有铺垫的
高概念电影，但是导演调教演员的能力堪称弱智。而且节奏和剧情真的和设定相比弱太多，两分都嫌多。
其實看一下到球場的存活者，上衣褲鞋都是複製體，只是披了莎拉的外套而已。而且不懂軚盤左右相反才會把車撞稀爛。
本是一个荒诞的科幻制度为基础，聚焦在女主自绝症，亲友的冷淡，寄希望于克隆人的传承，到最后被克隆人“剥夺”了人生，导演没有刻意藏匿线索，稍动点脑就能知道结局，我杀死了那个他们蓄谋的“我”，并陪他们孤独的装成我，好无奈悲剧的结局。
或许在社会氛围和群像塑造上还得再下点功夫 至少让观众理解这荒诞麻木的架空社会
故事本身就很荒唐，就没有探讨伦理道德和人性的必要了
我觉得结尾段挺出彩的，根据细节克隆体应该一直暗中观察学习本体的生活方式，用一年的时间酝酿好了怎么杀死本体，但是杀死本体又有什么用呢，即使不喜欢依然要继续本体操蛋的生活，不能按自己的方式生活这样还算活着吗
无论从科幻还是伦理层面都十分粗糙不经推敲，开头自作聪明的决斗亦直接破坏全片悬念，最后的反转更是直白肤浅，其实1/3篇幅的时候就已经全片定调，之后居然又墨迹了整整一个小时
最后死掉的应该是original，被copy毒死了。判断依据是妈妈和男友对她投以蜜汁笑容，说明他们俩都知道这个人是copy，而且妈妈还给她买了隐形眼镜(遮盖眼珠颜色)。copy蹩脚的开车技术和对车祸的描述也是copy的语言风格。
暗黑版《天鹅挽歌》，根据法律规定，本体和克隆要通过决斗决定去留，很讽刺！感觉纠结最后活下来的是谁已经不重要了，不管是谁，都难逃厄运的安排……
拍摄成本应该很低吧，但我喜欢这个故事。每个人的一生是独一无二的，如果可以替代，那太糟糕了
女人累，人机合一活受罪
自己爱人、亲人比较起来更喜欢克隆人而不是本人
挺好看的，演得很好。最后应该是复制体在森林里杀死了本体？
#2022 圣丹斯# 探讨关于本体和克隆体二选一存活的伦理困境，可惜的是没有能够深挖道德冲突和人性本质，一切都流于表面，最后的结局也是过于草率，浪费了一个好的题材
I can't believe she fell for the water
一群美剧演员挑大梁 和开头预演的一样复制体把本体灭的干干净净
确实让人想到天鹅婉歌，形式与主题不错，拍的确实烂，不如天鹅挽歌完整精致。
如果是克隆体活着，这部片子只能打三星。
从情感上希望本体存活，但实际上活着的应该是复制体。训练验尸，本体只判错了一种死法就是毒杀；决斗前复制体带她去话疗，两人谈心，本体明显放下警惕，出发前没有带刀和决斗战袍。不会开车、环岛逆行和亲人的伪证，订购美瞳。不可逆转的衰老和被男友嫌弃，复制体费尽心机却不得不过上本体的老路，在车里崩溃大哭。
