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.
开始以为是小森游戏推广片，后来以为是生活剧，再后来是神魔剧，最后都不是
天海还是好优雅很好看呀。想起深夜食堂里有位食客，说 重要的不是吃了什么，而是跟谁一起吃。
不过这种婆婆和老公会让我窒息
画风真不错 但是剧情太平了（如果这种儿童文学作品能改编成动画的话 安房的几部长篇是不是也能改编呢😢
看到河童的时候，就一直想不起来这是什么物种～印象中有个动漫里也有河童～我的脑子
为什么日剧总是有女婿这种莫名其妙的角色，到底为什么？简直就是生理性恶心🤢女儿起码是个正常美人啊，失心疯么？
催眠向，里面的河童虽然丑，但是竟然觉得挺可爱的
开始看着挺心酸的，中年危机经济窘迫，感觉都是在强笑欢颜，感觉把生活过成了笑话。后来看到最后才觉得，无论日子多苦，还是要有一颗欢乐的心。
太喜欢这类神明，万物有灵小小幸福题材的电影了。保持正念，负面情绪只会把恶魔喂饱。
剧情一般

画风很有意思，也有日本神灵文化的背景，可惜故事节奏做的比较差，前半部分太拖沓，后半部分又莫名仓促。
前半段《小森林》，后半段《给桃子的信》，开篇立意很好但脚本有些乱，仅有宫内优里的配乐和三明治人客串让我眼前一亮。
我选动漫电影的品味不是很好，总是挑中这种情节很迷的片子
节奏不行的！音乐也没氛围感！灾后心理的话题…也没表达出来。
很温馨的片子。生前葬礼和合租房概念挺超前的
颇有些小趣味，养老只要4000万日元吗？只需卖掉一套一线城市的小房子就足矣
什么嘛，一点都不现实。share house真的哒咩
依然是喜欢的天海佑希，婆婆80竟然可以这么优雅美丽！
更像是一部国家宣传片，没有钱养老，可以降低欲望，可以换种方式生活，可以不理睬别人强加给我们的焦虑，只要像鸵鸟一样假装一切都看不见，就可以happy ending了。
