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.
尼古拉斯·凯奇的影迷应该超级喜欢，吐糟又过瘾。是一部喜剧，现实又电影的人生喜剧。
幸运的是片中致敬的凯奇好片基本都看过，烂片基本都避雷了。就连玩梗玩的《卡里加里博士的小屋》《帕丁顿熊2》也都很熟悉，这感觉就像孙悟空逃不出我掌中的五指山。
对不起才发现凯奇的嘴巴张不开然后从注意到的那一刻开始就困扰着我 说实话他演技实属没问题但是这个剧本定位太浪费了 重申一遍brotherhood要不得 妹子们都挺漂亮 勉强能当度假片看（？
烂尾了 最后那个扔刀是认真的么 但凡把剧本打磨一下。。
尽管凯奇在片中吐槽好莱坞式俗套，但本片的主线就相当俗套。
犹记《我心狂野》他与邓恩的精彩表现
老子还能东山再起
“Oh……这是没有办法回答的问题，因为电音时长的百年，你不可能只选一部，这取决于你的心情，天气……”
看到凯奇各种自我致敬的片段还是能会心一笑的。
当那些熟识的桥段与名字映入眼睑，他与我们都知道，既然曾经拥有，便是天长地久。
看了这么多年MR.CAGE的好片和烂片之后，对其中的很多元素还真挺有共鸣的。
凯奇的粉丝电影，太精神病了，不过也太可爱了，虽说就是个爽片网大水平，但是确实凯奇从头到尾和红毒蛇的基情太浓郁了，笑到头疼
PS.帕丁顿熊也不错，大家都有品位！
疯狂cue他自己的电影很有趣，但我觉得最有意思的是它毫无保留地嘲讽了凯奇咋咋呼呼的表演风格。笑点不错，能让凯奇的粉丝们在银幕前笑得像个憨批。然而频繁的戏剧化、反高潮的场景让整部电影节奏松散，完全用人物推动剧情，则显得没太多实质性的内容。
这种设定一个明星一辈子就玩一次，尼古拉斯凯奇怎么就给了这个剧本，浪费啊，就算加入绑架特工套路是电影里自己吐槽的“预告片看点”，剩下的迷影部分也完全不真诚
凯奇是真的演过很多经典电影，也是现在真的全情投入演烂片。这个自己演自己的梗用的好可以成为《成为马尔科维奇》，用的一般就是这个电影的样子，就还是商业爆米花，就还是消费了一把自己而已
尼古拉斯·凯奇（Nicolas Cage）络腮胡真难看，苍老了很多。很久没看他演的电影了。知名演员未必有钱，欠了一屁股债，看起来还光鲜亮丽。父女关系，前妻，一堆事，心累。一见如故的朋友，相见恨晚。
但不管怎么说这无疑是凯奇近十年来最好的电影了，希望还完债的凯奇能迎来事业第二春。
讲真有点失望，以为会是疯狂的洒狗血用烂梗来调侃自己，结果有趣的部分其实并没有想象中多，几乎预告片里全都剪进去了。其余的部分优点四不像，也不知道是要表达温情还是想做什么。剧情本身是极不合理的，属于仍需打磨，目前的成品质量放到喜剧片的架构里还是有很多问题。
凯奇演的根本不是他自己，只是一个叫尼古拉斯凯奇的明星罢了。除去跟他本身有关的电影梗，其余的就是一个平平无奇的犯罪喜剧。
