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.
男主太下头了，不帅的人耍酷，让人厌恶……还有女主为什么总是打破第四面墙呢，表现了她的演技不足，还是要表现他异于常人的聪明……

我不是来看电影的。我认为达妹是全世界最可爱的女孩。鸟妹的歌不知道有没有人听。

特别爆米花的灾难电影，这么没有深度的电影，按理说不该死人的。冲成社长和长颈鹿，加了很多亲切滤镜，真不敢相信是《华丽的度假》导演导的。
我有空听你搁这大段自白，不如把原著再读一遍...
大失所望，完全颠覆了原著中安贞静智慧的形象，一个淑女在树林就地大小便的情节惊到我了……一干演员丑得绝伦，且教母居然是个黑女人，救命。2022.07.16
优缺点都很明显的灾难喜剧片。
好诡异的新编，毕业典礼上老逼丢给大一新生的敷衍化妆舞会
Wow, this is a horrible adaptation that makes almost all the imaginable worst choices. The creators combined Emma 2020 and Fleabag in an incredibly cheap and lazy way without even looking closely into their own heroine, Anne Elliot herself. Jane Austen would deny any possible connection with this piece.
好尬呀....普罗旺斯，托斯卡纳这些地方的电影，用山谷、海岸、彩色房子、松林、草地、旧木椅和形形色色的美食串起来就好啦...为什么偏偏要加点爱情...
明面上讲灾难下人们如何自救，实际上是想讲都市人一辈子都买不起房。没有房自然不敢谈恋爱不敢结婚，甚至不敢告白，因为自己住单间的卑微。本来可以更露骨的揭露政府的腐败，比如为什么地质这样依旧可以获批建房，为什么媒体没有发挥舆论力量来加快营救… 只能说用最深刻的题材，拍出了最表面的东西。
为什么最后读信的时候还要对着观众说话啊！最煽情的地方变得好出戏。
我全程“哦莫原来还可以这么改编/笑死哈哈哈/好尬哈哈哈哈”。可以说和原著没有关联，只是借个皮囊（安本身是plain and obscurity and firm，善于观察的人，而温也同样坚定，对自我道德足够坚守，对待不同的人坚持不同的方式）。因为删去了很多线（我最喜欢安和Smith！）所以让这两个人物过于悬浮。但另一方面或许也无需执着于原著了，要重新思考“现代版改编”的意义，安时不时的“打破第四堵墙”一方面很fleabag很新潮也很搞笑，但另一方面总觉得很突兀很奇怪。感觉剧本还是太草率了，没有打磨过对话。最后安边读信边流泪真的灾难。
光洙呀，下次不要演pabo了。
把灾难片拍的这么沉闷真难得，113分钟砍成70分钟就紧凑了
作为奥斯汀IP必到场粉 跳着看了几个片段 果断关了 这剧怕不是碰瓷奥斯汀吧… 整体感觉就过于现代了 感觉在看老美时装撕逼剧 品味调性典雅度就不行啊 而且最近几年改编的奥斯汀作品咋都喜欢这种婚纱甜腻配色啊
达科塔约翰逊毫无古典气质，改编现代至此不如放弃摄政时代搬到21世纪，大概制作组也知道简奥斯汀的古偶有着与现代并不适配的狗血风味。甚至不如爱玛。
细腻的温情，不需要轰轰烈烈的激荡，结合特斯卡纳的自然美景，也许是到这个年纪才可以慢慢欣赏的一壶古茶，沁人心脾
