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.
电影本质上跟男主是一样的，提供一种幻想服务，重点是 find your pleasure and honor it
哇哦，感觉看这个是我走向成年人的一步了呢。但我还是不同步到动态了，那看来还得继续成长。but，衰老真的有点触动了我，看这个电影，开始珍惜年轻的自己了。噗哈哈哈哈
感谢流媒体，both Apple TV+和b站，让我不花钱就能看到了现场还原。一波人来回切换角色，非常厉害，设计转场都不容易，语言信息多建议二刷，但更多是在陈述，歌曲的存在感真的不多了，群舞时候的氛围还是很好，被I am islander成功洗脑。另外，它可能本身对于美国人的意义要远大于我们，所以我还不能做到那么的共情。
或许他们更多的是心灵交流 肉体只是欲望的驱使吧
好真诚的话剧电影，男女主的化学反应很妙，对白和互动让人数度落泪… 女性意识觉醒之后的自信和自爱真的会发光~ Leo这样的Public Service上哪儿领？

我们不需要性产业合法，而是需要没有性病的世界。资本主义世界已发展到女人要为愉快的性爱付钱埋单了吗。 如果我五十岁/三十岁後仍无性爱会如何？
OBC原卡的官摄太好看了，当全场灯光变暗，Welcome to the Rock的前奏响起，演员们走出来的时候，我直接就哭出来！原来五月份录的时候是有观众的，我一直以为是空场录的，这是回宽街的第一批观众。CFA多么诚心，感谢让我拥有OBC，五星点赞！
重构庞杂的信息和情感，在灾难带给新发地的聚会
一部关于爱、欲、和满足的喜剧片。艾玛·汤普森饰演的55岁寡妇Nancy Stokes迫切渴望冒险、人类联结和性，渴望她人生中第一次很棒的性爱。丈夫Robert给了她住宅、家庭和看起来像样的生活，然而他已经走了，如今Nancy觉得“连有些修女都比我性生活更 丰富”，她一向是行动派，且当过老师，相当有条理，于是她马上开始实施计划：做了一些研究之后，Nancy雇佣了一个20岁出头的性心理治疗师Leo Grande，准备重启对自己身体的认识。
8.0/10.0 心脏外科医生好性感嘤嘤嘤～
其实我从来恐惧的是生理性智力的衰退
真的好有感染力。百老汇的舞台，有生之年真想去看一场
人尽其用，舞台调度到了极致，这个故事我真的爆哭，感动到无以复加
女主演技很棒，让她说大段台词的时候尤其好。剧情感觉有些乏味，它试图构建起一种对性的探讨，包含性自由，高潮，性工作者等等，但是这种探讨好像只针对剧中的这一个漂亮大男孩，我不能想象这样的探讨如果在现实世界里会多么荒诞，你告诉一个以此为生挣扎在生存线上从未受过教育的人说，你应该以你的职业围为荣，你妈妈不该对你失望。这听起来很像个玩笑，是个不能让人笑出来的玩笑。确实人都有尊严，确实职业无贵贱，但是面对现实里的痛苦人生，谁能拿着这么一部干净漂亮做爱都在干净旅馆里的剧来有底气证明这一切呢？象牙塔里不缺天才，但天才可能没光脚站在土地上。
I’m an islander ，I am an islander！
再来补官摄，无论是立意词曲还是表演都是很完整的作品。突然想起本来2020是可以看到澳洲版卡司来上海演出的啊。。希望平行世界里已经看了。
讲个故事，谈点问题，轻盈精巧，多好啊。63岁的 emma thompson 舒展地展露身体表演，我们的电影却还在从外表到年龄全方位限制贬损女演员。
中间挖隐私圣母心爆发那段太讨人厌了....同情这样的人生但真不是喜欢的女性角色
性探索只是一种表达，意味着对新鲜事物和对自我的好奇心未死，这本身就很性感。男主确是行走的荷尔蒙没错，但出演南希这个角色的艾玛·汤普森，God，一位女演员的专业顶峰也不过如此了。
