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.
A24真是打情色擦边球和拍心理惊悚的邪典热衷者，这部不论细节，主旨隐喻很容易看出来，因此诡异程度没那么深，部分场景确实观感极度不适，各种部位生出下一个男人真是恶心至极，但男人生孩子真是期待一波～
有种在双年展的小黑屋里看当代作品的观感……我的理解是女主ptsd的各个阶段？片头是小写白色的men，片尾则是大写血红的MEN，精神分裂般地控诉性别压迫。蒲公英是什么，是看似无拘无束却注定飘摇的反抗精神。
每个男人各有不同，但都共用一副皮囊，诞生于同样的扭曲中。历代级的cult场面，记忆深刻的隧道自我和声，结尾发现暴躁正直的闺蜜原来身怀六甲，细节好评
形式做到极致 但符号化太过于明显 直接喂 最后这个套娃真的….一丝丝不适
什么狗屁电影浪费老子的时间，实在片慌才看的，看了别人说什么最后十分钟封神，我只想想呵呵，这部电影唯一拍的好的地方可能就是静物吧，自然风光啥的，除此之外，潜台词就是男人都是垃圾，男人没有好的，女人怀孕生育的痛苦都是男人附加的，excuse me?这种电影和那种仇女电影有什么不同吗？说了就是电影拍的是隐喻，烂片就是烂片。还有我觉得女主丈夫的死，女主确实有些责任。
洁净与自然，孤身一人的主人公，旷野中遗世独立的暖居，加兰的标志。（还得是我喜欢的加兰）
男人在生态里的寄生虫般存在 and 这片在letterboxd和豆瓣上的短评大趋势好不一样（。
为那个惊掉下巴的无限分娩奇观我还是愿意给出高分，整个片子指向和厌男情绪太明确，以爱要挟两性关系，拆解成几类男性角色的具体形象来批判拙劣的道德绑架，就算再怎么“重新做人”一变再变看似“毫无保留”地求爱，本质还是一个样，真的很讽刺与挖苦。主题曲无缝衔接， Elton John的一首老歌《Love Song》Love is the opening door/Love is what we came here for/No one could offer you more.
能理解导演想要表达的东西，但内容实在太少，做成一个短片来讲述就差不多咯。一开始其实觉得挺吓人的，但越看越满头问号。我其实不太喜欢将女性所处的困境如此符号化地表达出来，这样反而会弱化问题的根本。而且最后怎么没有安排女主一斧头把丈夫鬼魂砍烂！哼哼~大失所望！btw导演是拍广告片出身的吗，一开始真以为点进了汽车广告哈哈哈哈。
单从技术层面分析，A24与亚历克斯·加兰这次完全可以凭借《Men》在2022恐怖电影界「独领风骚」了。极致的视听语言与几乎完美的恐怖氛围营造，称其为「盛宴」亦不足为过。前半程用「文艺片」手法铺垫，带有强烈「创伤感」的人物塑造及镜头感、配乐都非常高级。最后的爆发亦「精彩纷呈」，恐惧催生出恐惧，暴力孕育出暴力，十分钟的视觉呈现几乎可以封神。从内容上看，电影带有强烈的「恐男」特质，但相比较其他低级、刻意、无趣的刻画与塑造，《Men》赢在了视听语言上。至于其传递的主题与私货本质，和其他同类作品并无两样，说粗俗点，都一个B味。三星全给技术组，内容一星不值。
厌男症电影，从这个电影里我看到，女人看男人也是很主观和片面的
太变态了，甚至比《钛》变态多了，但是我很喜欢。
本质还是拿女权说事儿。影像质量上乘，尤其是色彩搭配，很吸睛。前半段精致后半段鬼扯，完全不讲逻辑了。血浆割手来路不明，人肉套娃哗众取宠，蒲公英隐喻母体还是精子？有点乱。
开始当做科幻标签看的。
A24真的崛起。没有任何jump scare但心理恐怖氛围拉满。隧道镜头美轮美奂，男男套娃十二分邪典（内心：what the f ck…）值得用投影看
女性困境 庄园里的所有男性角色共用一张脸 最后一个个被孵化出来
比较喜欢嘉兰之前的作品，但本片实在无法接受。它真的不像一部电影.....
这应该是我近几年看过最cult的片子了吧。她老公出场的第一幕我就知道了，无法控制自己情绪的控制狂，哈哈无能狂怒的男人。本来超级喜欢绿色，全片的绿让我看到这种水绿觉得有些压抑和惊悚。
女主太丑了，穿得衣服也难看，背景乐诡异难听得要死，故作高深，但是风景是真美，然后光影交错下的雕像面孔是挺诡异吓人的，导演如此丑化男性，搞性别对立，都去搞百合吧，真是居心叵测，很垃圾的一部电影。
