You are never fully liberated from Auschwitz, 11 July 2016 Author: Red-125 from Upstate New York The French movie "À la vie" was shown in the U.S. with the translated title "To Life (2014)." It was written and directed by Jean-Jacques Zilbermann. The film is a Post-Holocaust saga, although it opens with scenes in Auschwitz that are truly horrific. Hélène (Julie Depardieu) and Lily (Johanna ter Steege) were friends in Auschwitz, and they managed to survive the death march from Auschwitz to Louslau together. A third friend, Rose (Suzanne Clément) was unable to walk, so they were forced to leave her behind. As it turned out, Rose survived until the liberation of Auschwitz. The three did not see each other again until 1962, when they come together for a reunion at a beachside resort in Northern France. We learn early in the movie that Lily divorced her husband after the war, and is living as a "free soul," with no permanent partner. Hélène and Rose both married concentration camp survivors. The plot of the film--based on the lives of three actual friends--revolves around their interactions during the reunion. No matter how much ice cream they eat, and how they display their new bathing suits, thoughts keep circling back to Auschwitz. They quarrel about tiny details which they remember differently. They revive horrible memories. It's clear that the reunion will change their lives, but whether the change will be for the better or for the worse is an open question. For reasons I don't understand, "To Life" caries a terrible IMDb rating of 6.1. Fortunately, we saw it as part of the excellent Rochester Jewish Film Festival. If we hadn't had "All-Event" tickets, we probably would have stayed home. This is a movie to be seen, not missed. Ignore the rating and seek it out. It's available on DVD, and it will work well on the small screen. See it!
前期电影感可以，光影和调度都挺抓人，后面有点自暴自弃了吧……
拍得像是生怕观众有哪里看不懂的浅显 反转也显得 呃 略为鸡贼 然后歌曲也铺得太满了吧……
丢掉最为代表性的极速变焦蒙太奇的埃德加·赖特依旧鲜明无比，之前被遮盖的匹配剪接成为这部电影的最大技术瞩目点，在加上本身擅长的转场设计，两个年代的转换自然成了炫目十足的观看着眼点。前半段重返黄金年代好似对《午夜巴黎》的另类挪用，但后半段却成了对伍迪·艾伦的反写，那个由文艺作品与过往情调搭建起来的沙上之塔，最终在遭遇现实的海水冲击之时，暴露了隐藏下的泥泞，皮条客与恋人的身份转换，揭开了那个年代的女性境地，最终光影浮华变了鬼魅浮生，之前怀旧视角下的泛黄暖意色调也自然变为了铅黄清冷寒意。但结尾的悬念回转在制作惊奇感的同时，又一定程度消减了之前的女性受害情况的描写力度，在魔女化的同时甚至有合理化的嫌疑，人设也从追梦单纯女变为了复仇女杀手，后者自然爽感无比，但与前面铺垫的写法相比，令人怀疑导演的本意。
不过故事真的太扁平了，就像1+1=2一样的，女主的形象很贴近生活，我身边也有不少这样的人
最不喜剧的一部莱特，也是最不喜欢的一部莱特。剪辑、摄影、表现手法在线甚至有所突破，依旧难掩剧本和人物的稀碎。所以观感十分分裂，俗套又新颖，说是爆米花商业吧，又不如 babydriver 要素多。虽然很爱莱特，但他真的驾驭不了「大作」。
不愧是19年就打上想看标签的埃德加赖特。少了点血与冰激淋三部曲的酣畅淋漓，不过画面倒是精致了不少（看来是预算多了。看完的当晚还做了噩梦呜呜呜呜
消失的爱人策划思路升级版。中规中矩的美式商业恐怖片。
虽然是灵异惊悚片，但视觉听觉都很美，安雅简直像个精灵，谁能不喜欢她呢～以及热评好搞笑，这就“恐男厌男”了好玻璃心哟
emmmmmmmmmmmmm我觉得还是不错的。。anya确实美
女主的确一比就下去了
看前1/3的时候还想说不愧是我最喜欢的导演之一，能把这么一个我超级不感兴趣的题材和故事加上演员阵容都拍到起鸡皮疙瘩，然后……也就激动了这么一小会罢了……如果不谈类型片的情怀，在我看来，导演这回确实暴露出了他在核心内容表达上的乏善可陈。过去几部核心主要是友情，爱情，都还挺小而美，简单真挚能打动人。这次想讲性剥削，是真的讲的有点太浅太俗套了。可能这种复古悬疑惊悚类型片影迷会对他的技法和致敬感到激动吧？可以理解，就像很多人看动作片也不像我那么容易给好评一样。开始本来还觉得导演这次想要返璞归真，不那么炫技了，想好好讲故事。然而到高潮部分发现他本质上，还是在靠技法支撑戏剧张力。这就很挑人，一旦你的技法并没让观众感到惊喜，空洞的中心就很让人乏味了……不过应该也算一次尝试吧，拍了他很想拍的题材
赖特牛逼，第一夜坠入过去的设计是我一直想得不可得的上海坠落夜
不足在于，作为男性导演拍女性视角，没有拍出女女共鸣的细腻情感，还是遗憾落在了结构化的商业公式中
故事最後差強人意，➕一星給anya～
前面打开新世界越兴奋 后面会因为越接近真实而不适 这也许就是常说的好看得不真实 真实得不好看
从报警开始，剧情急转直下的，不过整体来看，片子还是太有趣了，算是年度惊喜。
好难看。虽然是个恐男的故事，但一切过于刻板印象，一看就是个男的拍的……这么精致的制作水平拍出来这个，不客气地说，是敷衍时事的讨好之作，浪费人生的半个小时后及时止损了。而且两位女演员的演技实在浮夸。
but，导演挺会玩，起码有意思叭，谈不上惊艳但有点惊喜。
心猿意马，旨趣相拆。结局设计可厌近于可怖。
#加州行观影系列#3.12旧金山飞新加坡机上看的。爱德加赖特是不是不太适合拍惊悚片，故事本身就挺空洞了，有加上这故弄玄虚的各种技法，literally很穿越。最差的是结尾，我很费解：她住了这么久都不知道房东姓甚名谁？？明明喝了毒药，挣扎两下之后就又跟没事人一样，又是打斗又是逃跑的……？
