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.

后半部分有点too much 但是我夫演得好
热评可拉倒吧，什么样的人才会天天把洗脑一词挂在嘴边啊。
一场疫情可窥见一个体制，也可反映到政府的响应程度和应急能力，敢于直面这种问题的电影的确是有震撼力的，而这种大环境下也凸显了人性的种种。
电影多少有点被利用的感觉 在这部片子里面 用来发声 也算是电影的功能之一吧 只是过于直白了点。
尼玛这帮白皮帮助病毒变异了好几代了吧 还尼玛舔 豆瓣这群殖人
电影就是要有一些温度和人文关怀的，这部电影做到了，小变态的演技不用多说，感染力很强，其实更该想想的，是为何人家对疫情的反思与反省可以在影视作品中看到，而我们能看到的只有一些假大空的作品，我们真的抗抑成功了吗？伤痛中的武汉人民真的痊愈了吗？或许有人会说，这跟你有什么关系呢？是啊，跟我有什么关系呢？这才是我们该思考的问题。
西方的反思片越来越无法满足大陆观众了吧 珍视生命与荒原上随意生长的种子之间存在鸿沟
向英国的文艺工作者表示敬意，对现实题材的一贯关切之外，这反应速度也够快，疫情爆发一年半之后，人家已经开始反思和追问了。本片从大事件中截取了一个很小的切口，拍了一个生活小品，平凡但绝不平淡，该有的戏剧张力都出来了。疫情初起时的紧张慌乱简直拍出了恐怖片的赶脚，女主独自值班那个漫漫长夜的压抑绝望的情绪尤其直抵人心，演技也很加分。
A solid 8. 除了飞越疯人院情节稍微突然，关于新冠的以小见大和绝望拍的真好
#豆瓣电影
早前听说养老院许多人去世，疫情爆发的前三个月care home去世占四成。得不到的help。jodie从mad fat diary和doctor foster不过六八年时间。可以的。
看到啾迪对着镜头的控诉真是泪流不止，我们总是擅长把怜悯赠给不需要怜悯的人，对于真正需要帮助的又恐时财压力而逃避不视。同样的题材，拍出来的却是云泥之别…
疫情下，被抛弃的永远最先的是所谓的对社会无用的人，悲哀（2021.11.26 星期五 沐陂）
所有的宏大叙事与歌功颂德都比不上普通小人物的故事来得更有力。
撇开剧情不说，导演非常厉害，基本上用了15分钟的时间就交代清楚了主要人物关系和性格，女主的家庭和她与家庭的矛盾仅仅用了三四场戏就表达清楚了，中间护理院的管理人问她为什么Tony对她这么重要，就是因为她从他这里获得了认同和尊重，一个社会中下层的普通人，甚至连家人对她也不认可和支持，而她从Tony这里感受到了爱与尊重，所以她拼命想要维持住这个护理院的运行，发疯一样的带走tony。面试的时候管理人对她说这里的人需要尊重，而她也通过爱与付出获得了尊重，可惜，疫情和政府荒唐的应对政策，让她最终失去了一切。
切入点好棒，对准新冠疫情下最脆弱，最容易被抛弃的那群人，不能深刻感受Sarah的绝望，毕竟我们大部分人在疫情严重的时候都被保护的很好，但是知道新冠改变了很多人的命运，让原本艰难的成年人生活雪上加霜。Btw，真的好爱Jodie Comer，从Killing Eve入坑，在这部剧中，有时候甚至很难分清她是Sarah还是Viallenle,利物浦口音好可爱啊。
沉重的疫情题材，对于一个有着批判的英国电影传统来说，故事过于单薄。在国家体系陷入崩塌，自救与他救，明显电影虚构的困境相比于现实是如此微乎其微。
把英国防疫措施讽刺的。。。基本揭了一层皮。。。
