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.
金敏喜拿着那束野花等等等等的从屏幕前走过来的时候，瞬间沉沦，这么美丽的画面必须得是彩色的。
纯粹的好看，人物状态极其凸显，期待他们性格的展开和碰撞，让人想透过屏幕一探究竟，看过即忘即可
用手语开始，这是童真的表达； 用花束收尾，那是最美的表白 习惯了固定镜头里的絮絮叨叨，也会发现偶尔的差异，比如群组抽烟变成了一个人的电子烟；比如女性角色更多成为了表达的主角 这是属于金敏喜的电影，老爷子用他的镜头给她送上了金棕榈，这是他最长情的告白； 这又是洪尚秀的电影，镜头里的金敏喜还是一如既往地纯真，这是她留给我们的电影情书 走过多年之后，洪的电影宇宙总给我一部连续剧的感觉，那些人物不变，内核却与时俱进，更多是导演的个人表达，而且时长非常适合中年人，感觉总也不会结束，未完待续！！
我发现大家对洪尚秀的电影以及说废话的宽容度真是越发的高了。这部倒是觉得金敏喜看着有些憔悴 但很真实就是了
要说电影本身，依旧流畅轻盈，并且感叹，疫情时代电影也带上口罩了，好难过。
洪尚秀的自我指涉已经到了可以精神性转的程度。
最后金敏喜美哭
一个对自我产生质疑的小说家，偶遇曾经要将其小说拍成电影最终却推掉的导演夫妇，三人同行又遇到自顾息影的女演员。导演因赞许女演员的才华导致小说家对导演对女演员生活选择品头论足产生反感，不留情面地驳斥对方。导演的妻子不愿继续与其同行，小说家的观念与女演员不谋而合，因此二人打算共同完成一部短片创作。影片的结尾，女演员独自在影厅里观看成片，留给我们的只有一个镜头，即是女演员手捧野花目光清澈地走向屏幕，嘴角挂着清纯的微笑，哼着婚礼进行曲。洪尚秀借小说家之口说出自己全新的创作理念:情节不重要。被深剖赋予意义的生活细节也有被夸大之嫌。最重要的是重拾对生活的信念。影片中反复提及的女演员丈夫一角，始终未曾出现在影片中，以及影片的影片中。而小说家创作的前提是夫妇二人共同出演，对于生活起到决定性意义的事物是缺席的。
洪常秀的自我表述与公开示爱，个人不太喜欢。
Jodie演得颇自然真实。当你又老又病，就是逐渐被社会淘汰的时候，无论你过去有什么丰功伟绩或只是平凡人一个。社会反映的往往就是最现实的，何况大家要面对的是非一般病毒……尽量自救好过等援助。
谁说只有中文的多义性别有韵味，本片中一个HELP的多层指涉同样有趣，开始的help是tommy帮sarah的友善之举令她获得工作，中间sarah开始help护院的老人们生活起居，再到中段崩溃时候的内心OS寻求"help!"无门，最后她又“help”了tpmmy出逃，以及针对NHS以及唐宁街的怒吼质疑help?!
省钱达人导演。高产太多。虽然看起来有点省美疲劳了。但不得不承认，这就是疫情下，无投资的环境下，保持创作能力的最优办法呀。羡慕，敬佩。单纯献给拍摄与制作。至于影片内容本身，不是太感冒了，毕竟这内容表现中老年知识分子的困境，或者一种职业生活的状态。不太能够引起私人的共鸣。对白依然很多，翻译过来，理解也较为吃力。不知道为什么在柏林能拿到银熊奖。疫情下，世界电影作者的创作力，还是很疲乏和苍白了吧。
在感慨现实的同时，也感叹于这种人与人之间不计回报的真情实感。
我们应该多一点维度来看待每一件和人有关的事情，短却是深刻的。
啊，这是什么啊，虽然金敏喜还是那么的美丽迷人，但有点出戏（感觉这个黑白色调很锐利，看得人不太舒服）
同样是讲新冠疫情 中国的拍成了主旋律式国家荣誉感高度集中的热血片子 援助则用一个小护理中心的状况来映衬他们新冠疫情的形势严峻 像《泰坦尼克号》那样以小见大的模式来叙述大事件 有一说一 后者更接地气更让人动容。精华在于中间Herc病发那晚的长镜 把Sarah手足无措的那种茫然却又因为职责所在而坚定且义无反顾的勇敢拍出来 她也害怕啊 害怕自己被传染害怕Tony被传染害怕Herc会死去 但她爱这份工作啊她也爱这几位早已是朋友的住客啊 我想 这是面对新冠疫情的最真实的反应。朱迪科默是个好演员 我以前错过了她 但我以后会记住她。
最后五分钟的欧尼和一分钟的彩色把我有如被欺骗的迷茫感拉回来了一点
求救无门的窒息一夜，绝望而压抑 感同身受
在一颦一笑中溺死，少了清冷疏离，多了温柔真诚，美到失语，阳光也偏爱。女神在洪导的摄像机前越来越松弛自然了，让我们说谢谢洪导，无所谓世俗，请你们一直甜下去。
有很多想说的，但其实又没啥好说的。我们都是一粒灰。
