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.
5分 黑白配的感情戏让人一点感觉都没有，这老娘们50了，而且全片穿插太多了，还双线叙事，麻了，几个场景不是餐厅就是咖啡馆，办公室。更要命的是剧情，男主找内奸，找了半天原来自己是内奸，当年为了救女主。最后女主都嫁人是2个孩子的妈了，暴露身份也不给杀手下命令，不就是还爱着她么，可这爱情戏，我压根入不了戏啊导演编剧。
一开始电影名叫《宝刀未老》谁的宝刀？还未老？派派最近一部我喜欢的电影是《赴汤蹈火》现在简直就是在混脸熟。事实上，这部片子就是一群脸熟的人坐着打嘴炮说（真是在说）完了一个故事。
还行吧，典型找内奸反转再反转的戏码，中规中矩，除了派派的肉体，没啥记忆点
喜欢男女主的表演，lovesong这版好听

两主演颜值都已经老了，演技也没觉得未老。整个过程看了力不从心，悬疑差点火候。
当女主最终明白男主出卖情报之后，明白了男主的深爱，但是已经无力回天。男主已经喝下了毒酒。
灾难，简直是一场灾难。
本该看片头就该反应过来了，新仇旧恨，多么像痴男怨女爱情的纠缠啊，结果看简介硬是没反应过来
以为是什么惊天地的谍战片，原来是一部泣鬼神的爱情片。不过挺喜欢这种穿插倒叙的叙事方式。想看动作又悬疑的话，还是绕路吧。
亮点是叙述方式、节奏和男女主角间的张力。看到派恩我起先是拒绝的，但他在这部片子里很好，女主也很好——"What we had was real. Wasn't it?""I thought so.""Why did you run?""I think I preferred this being an interrogation.""Well, you've convinced me.""Of what?""(whispers) That you're very convincing."…"Are you okay?""(grunts) Be right back."
超出预期，但是皮特这个角色显然不太聪明，不像是情报人员
无谍战无枪战无动作，只有爱情。
我挺喜欢这部剧的，倒叙+插叙，除了衰老的妆效不太自然之外，色彩，剧情，演技都在，里面没有哪个画面的出现是多余的，挺紧凑，作为悬疑片，爱情太多了，我感觉就是一部爱情片呢……
整个故事其实有点意思，但是前半段昏暗的餐厅和零碎的往事也是暗色的，很闷
我承认有时通过对时间线的剪辑会让电影精彩纷呈，但影片开始就剪到这么乱，乱到对人物关系建立缺乏根基，对事件理解存在迷障时，反而会觉得这些所谓技巧有碍观瞻。
披着间谍情节的爱情片？贯穿整部电影的餐厅戏有点意思 就是派派和女主没什么cp感 派派饰演这个年龄跨度很大的角色很不错 该年轻时候年轻 该成熟的时候成熟
穿插着无聊床戏和回忆旧情的假悬疑片，想剑走偏锋地去讲述谍战片，却连故事也没讲好。派克船长最近接不到好片了吗？最近一部《承包商》也是烂得如出一辙 @Prime Video
一天看了两步派恩电影 这一部演技更好 谍战片外壳 爱情片内核 最后的坦白桥段让人动容
對話與剪接交織出懸念及劇力，卻被「刻意感動」的高潮拉垮。
