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.
坦诚的力量是很大的。所以Nancy在被动又尴尬的场域里一次次问起Leo的私事，也毫不忌惮地说自己的家事，这是她展示肌肉的方式。也因为如此，在Leo坦白自己和母亲决裂的缘由后，Nancy打破了自己最大的恐惧，在自己的学生面前承认了她和Leo的关系。 P. S. 真情实感地代入了Nancy的每一场尴尬……
器大活好皮靓还能聊人生的sex partner如此难得，不谈性色变不耻于追求高潮的氛围更难得。

leo的眼睛真的太好看了！那些对话慢慢抽丝剥茧出面具下的两个人。Emma这个真的是登峰造极的表演...啊~pleasure~
8.5/10 男主Leo的眼睛太深邃了，盯著你看的時候很輕易地就陷進去，而且業務能力好強，完全不會給客人任何不舒適的感覺，而且還有可憐遭遇激發同情心，誰能拒絕這樣溫柔脆弱的性感尤物呢
一个墨守陈规的宗教学教师在中年老年丧偶后开房叫鸭的故事，并在台词中探索了家庭、父母和孩子、长辈和孩子等各类社会关系，讲求人在某种层面上的自我解脱。境界不错，就是太戏剧化。
2、每一个人都生而美丽。爱自己，就是爱一切的开始。
我让我岳母一个人看了。后来我看了，LEO真是一个性圣人！
不是说花钱找鸭就能找出道貌岸然的优越感、找出独立女性人设、找出自我和解的。这片子被追捧我是真的不理解，只是题材反常规而已，实际上跟女性解放一点关系都没有。请看它的镜像电影《花容月貌》，一个超级大美女主动做应召女郎，没有任何客观原因，完全发自内心。很讽刺，是不是？而且它作为房间电影来讲，也是不及格的存在，对白写得太虚无，处处泛着圣母光环，被《与女人们的对话》吊打。
给我感觉还是直面自己的话题，虽然主要是性的方面。Nancy的耻感比较具体可感，第一次会面的尴尬简直太形象了；Leo的耻感隐藏在对家人的逃避上面。焦点在两人中间缓慢地转移，在结尾同时达到与自己的和解。最后Nancy获得高潮的方式感觉很妙，借助了Leo但不完全依靠他。开头以为是性转版《年轻气盛》，中间感觉更像是年龄差版《愛追うふたり》。艾玛汤普森的局促感和压迫感很真实。
问：这个世界上做什么最快乐？答：爱。和自己。
They didn't do 69.
两人伴随音乐翩翩起舞时太美好了，太美好了。
A fantastic sexual therapy. Maybe I need it too...

两位主演的表演也很精彩。Emma的眼神，肢体动作等等把角色的情绪展现得细腻至极，而leo从一开始的神秘到后面的情绪暴发过渡也很自然。
对话电影形式，我是比较喜欢的，当然我指的是这种高质量高逼格的对话。
心动了，才会有高潮。
评论区挺有意思的，甚至能看出男女来，虽然不能一概而论，但的确很大一部分男性关注的可能是性工作者，欲望本身，于是这部电影的大量对话和女主经常东拉西扯甚至转到现实很不符合预期。女性观众能共情的就多很多，这恰恰很契合这部电影的主题，起码我作为一个女人，个人觉得这部电影的重点不是性工作者的性别优势，不是性欲本身，而是女性的生理心理满足。她絮絮叨叨，在性这件事上唯唯诺诺，战战兢兢。leo通过对话引导和床上运动让一个大半辈子不知性欲为何物的女性得到快乐并渐渐了解自己。南希最后说，她自信了，谢谢leo，这事真的说复杂跟天书一样，说简单就是做踏实了呗，甚至最后她的满足不在于生理运动，只在于看
剧本的任何一个铺陈都在为了让这个故事变得合理化，女主的职业和面对性的不自信，胆怯，都很真实，男主的颜值，身材，让两人的互动变得那么有化学反应。从不敢到彻底解放，性的解放，也是女性对束缚的解放。评分：7.5/10。
