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.
我对小K已经绝望了。脱离于生活的演员演啥都很无病呻吟。
小k搞不好会凭借此片拿个奥奖最佳女主提名。电影展现的是戴安娜王妃和查尔斯结婚十余年，距离婚只有几年的那段时期，感觉还没到她与查尔斯正式分居的1992年底，不过也快了。戴安娜不仅与查尔斯感情破裂，而且在王室生活极其压抑。每天都不得不强迫自己表演，可能有一定程度的心理疾病。小k演得还不错，会让观众怜惜这个美丽脆弱痛苦的女人。电影的结局似乎戴安娜得到了呼吸的机会，心情也一扫阴霾。可是现实是痛苦的，她并没有活成斯宾塞。整体还是偏文艺的表达，并不是写实传记片。
不敢想像的不好看，甚至配樂服化道也不是很出色。

可以说是小k的独角戏，演技跃升到新高度，此片批判皇室婚姻对无辜少女的迫害比任何同类型作品都要狠，通过沉浸式的表达，追忆童年，类比断头皇后，把戴安娜完全塑造成了一个可怜的并对未来即将到来的厄运浑然不知的可怜无助的女人，不过前提是多少了解这场皇室婚姻的背景，戴安娜就像献祭给皇室的新娘，看着她一点点枯萎并走向最终的死亡，你会恨透了英国皇室的冷漠虚伪。
Spencer是心理惊悚片加安全驾驶宣传片……摄影打光挺好，音乐也有亮点，表演并非不好但太卖力而且完全没有说服力，从小切口拍传记是聪明合理的，但这个切口选得不够合理，全片下来人物没有任何弧光，味同嚼蜡，甚至让人怀疑导演的用意是嘲讽还是共情。这个电影里呈现的戴妃的痛苦，仿佛是为了KS的表演而存在的（不是说演得好的意思），而不能让人感受到这痛苦着的是一个真实的人，特别是最后的落点是她和两个儿子在泰晤士河边吃炸鸡，这就是她所求吗？太狭隘了。更进一步说，电影完全没有在史观和窥私当中取得平衡。拉拉因在拍智利说不和追捕聂鲁达的时候，和后来拍Jackie和Spencer简直判若两人。
the use of jazz is absolutely brilliant
看到一半的时候在想I need 小k和sally的同人文 我要看宫廷版指匠情挑 没想到接下来剧情就真的…
镜头一直怼着小k的脸，是怕观众看不出她糟糕的面部管理和演技吗。
观感很美，但是这样一部通篇就是在真实情况已经无从得知的情况下为了戏剧冲突大肆编派渲染，把戴安娜写的像一个神经病的电影，不知道除了给创作班底在颁奖季靠王室赚取眼球甚至奖项外还有什么意义？KS首先无论扮相还是表演都根本不像两个半大小子的妈，其次有些时候的仪态看着真难受，一个“女主对着动物说话”一个“独自痛哭流涕”的“大女主戏”必备“展现演技”桥段也实在烂俗。
开篇就马上感觉到她已经不开心很久了 最开心的就是最末那段
这部电影的存在，注解着这个世界某些人对黛安娜的固执又傲慢的误读，从她生前延续到死后。
每个人都有两幅面孔，在对应的场合就要演好自己的角色。小K很OK，满屏英音+皇家风光+舒缓钢琴曲很搭。
K的小动作，在片子里一点也不突兀，画面好美。没有黑人！！！！！！虽然不像戴安娜王妃，但是一个和戴安娜有相同命运的人！配乐也很克制。剧本挺好的，台词也很好。k好美好瘦。
a combination of porn and comedy
Maggie神来之笔。K好努力，不过Diane真的不好演。
非常sensitive 相比剧情 更多在展示内心世界的煎熬与脆弱
El 7 de diciembre de 2021, en Cine Yelmo Luxury Palafox, Madrid, 9,90€. Kristen Stewart真是charming啊……这个眼妆太绝了
为大银幕而生，年度最唯美的传记片亦不为过。碎落一地的珍珠项链，荒野上孤独的稻草人，自残与被迫遮蔽的窗帘，腐国皇室枪口下苟且偷生的雉鸡，被礼法禁锢的自由灵魂……第一部从lesbian角度以管窥豹，跟从戴妃步入她苦不堪言无比绝望的精神密室，“不在沉默中爆发就在沉默中灭亡”，压抑到极点的基调却糅杂着创作者无限的理解与共情——别看她通身珠光宝气地位显赫，究其一生最想要的也不过是平凡人的普通生活，结尾那首欢快之歌，歌词唱着“All I need is miracle”当她面对镜头报出“Spencer”而不是“Diana”那一刻，分明是困顿灵魂在呐喊与复苏吧？小K演技全面爆发，神还原了戴妃反叛与忧郁并存的精神气质，即使今年Oscar无法帮她封后，她也已经用绝对实力狠狠反击了那些轻视称她为“花瓶”的人。
