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.
女主被關在小房間裡時那種無助感不知道為什麼我一個現代人感同身受。不過結局差點意思，並不是想要女主把所有「瘋女人」救出來，而是總覺得有點不真實。
印象比较深的一段是尤金妮和珍妮薇芙脱束腰的闪回镜头
故事矛盾冲突新意不多
感觉我心底有一种被关进精神病院的恐惧，看着里面的女性的无力愤怒到流泪，脑子叮了一下，除了对父权的控诉，我想是不是还要反思高举科学之名的傲慢
这个节奏太慢了，二倍速都急死我，但剧情还行
最喜欢的歌是大力姐姐有压力，那首最火的不不不不要提起布鲁诺反而get不到，但无论如何剧作上都过于简单了
当医疗失去了道德与人性的制约，将沦为炫技的手段
画面美则美矣，故事惨也真惨。自以me too运动之后，女性电影蓬勃发展。女导演也越来越多。不过这社会不是西风压到东方就是东方压到西风，国家间如此、性别间如此、阶层间也如此，哪里会有绝对平等。故事本身节奏较慢，后期估计导演编剧也没有解决方案只能潦草收场。
虽然我也是个科学派，但真的很无法理解这种将所有自己不能理解的东西归之于精神病的“学者”，外科制药进步这么多了，精神病治疗基本都没啥变化，哎~~看病院里的可真够绝望了，但双女主演技真好，两人之间的一点“姬”情是影片最温柔的存在，希望以后我们能更好的真正治疗精神病。
那个年代真让人窒息，全片感觉很压抑。治疗疗法像过家家。
作为法国片，难得不拖泥带水。女主虽然不是美上天，但是带观众入戏能力一流。本想做家务电影，但是认真的看完了。二女主感情铺垫不够导致后期的情节不信服。总体好看～
无法明白是非的地方 到底谁是疯子 谁是囚徒 谁是自由人 真真假假 不过掌权人说的算
可怕的的是，这样的事情还在眼前发生，以疯癫来欺压女性的世界，从来没结束过。
能够通灵的女主被送进精神病院，最终在护士长的帮助下成功逃离，涉及了不少流行的主题，女性的互相帮助，女性受到的精神压迫等，但笔力不是很到位，欠点火候。
镜头语言沉静优美，摄影高级有艺术感，但故事太过细腻以至于墨迹
女性违背父权社会的行为即可定义为疯。而实际上的疯是权力者的疯癫。控制，僭越，强暴。女性是统一战线的，疯女人之间没有相互伤害，只有爱与温存。
铺得不够 结尾升华得有点勉强了 但还是值得一看
跟画上的魅惑不一样看过本片你会对欧洲女性的裸体感到反胃 即使是女主那样秀美的脸庞躯体也是枯槁更不用说臃肿的老妪 与教科书或照片上戴着金丝眼镜的学者不一样治疗精神病的医学家是如此因循守旧并且在圈子里吹捧 结局只是一个人的牺牲换来另一个人的自由
比上半年的《寻龙传说》好看多了。林漫威创作的音乐真的好听。
反父权压迫的女性主题电影，很简单的故事叙事节奏实在太慢了，两倍速度看足够。说实话剧情有些无聊，但演员演技和服化道是加分点,拯救剧本。
