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!
所以究竟是想讲个啥？女性视角只是刻板充满莫名雌竞想象的虚假外壳，而如果还有任何女权色彩存在到结尾也已被这个完全崩坏的反转付之一炬
不会真有人觉得嫖客死了就会变得很可怕吧？不会真有人觉得妓女反杀就是大反转吧？导演对性别运动的嘲讽振聋发聩啊，何必结尾再一番讨好呢？到底有没有ball啊兄弟？
其实是挺不错的悬疑片，但是结局……差了点意思
乡下来的怀揣梦想潜力大学生为了远离婊子室友租住在一个满是冤魂的伦敦老房间里，完整经历了一场想要成名最后被迫堕落的历程，感觉人生丰富了许多。本来只想给两颗星，多一颗星给靓妞。
2.5 埃德加赖特 从上部电影开始编剧水平就一塌糊涂 还以为是午夜伦敦结果是致命女人 你再这样下去我真的会失望
快到结尾时简直不知道该站死魂灵还是Sandie(゜-゜)
东拼西凑但又处处正确，唯一有意思但又被放弃的地方，在于任何一个街口任何一个房间都死过人的伦敦，每一寸墙壁都渗透了低回或高昂的情绪。就这，被结尾三套破裙子和外婆妈妈都为你骄傲冲散了。
导演埃德加赖特把这部双女主B级惊悚片拍出了不一样的高级感。
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……
画面和构图兼具美感和冲击感，多处巧妙的运镜和适配的歌舞音乐都是极致的视听享受，同时复刻上世纪六十年代星光璀璨，弥漫耀眼的时尚歌舞圈，故事核心却是一个极具悲剧性的主题，充满巨星的梦想但只能在无尽的现实牢狱中一遍遍重复阶层的欲望侵害，这个社会不是靠自己却是靠关系。可惜这个故事还是不够精彩，后期的反转不算震惊，警察角色的单薄和不够自洽的人物行为逻辑，不过依旧展示了一个很有野心的电影风格，埃德加赖特始终是我很欣赏和喜欢的导演，两位女主也是全片的亮点之一，安雅饰演这种风情美艳具有人性特色的角色真是再合适不过了
很校园青春的走向，悬疑部分拿捏的恰到好处，现实与梦境似乎可以更深层的探讨一下。
其他都好，就是结局太形而上。肯定是疫情惹的祸，太主旋律了，一派合家欢盛景。
伦敦这样的大城市太容易让人迷失了。整部片的风格很特别，虚虚实实之间的切换、色调都很漂亮，两位女主也很迷人。从一开始就该想到是部标准的鬼片，住进一个一睡觉就会梦见特定的人特定的时代的屋子里，那当然是闹鬼了。
LCF没有这么可怕，Soho没有这么可怕，伦敦也没有这么可怕 LOL。Diana Rigg这个60年代的象征演60年代的杀人者再合适不过了。
这些不合理都削弱了剧情和女主Anya的感染力。
视听体验好，但故事走向过于套路，反转也很蠢。最吸引人的部分是刚进入60年代的纸醉金迷，很逃避主义，但这部分太快就过渡到不痛不痒（没有实质性威胁）的鬼魂惊悚。Diana Rigg生前最后一次大银幕演出，而且状态还很不错，致敬。
从主题（inspiration、mental illness与spirituality、historical burden的缠杂关系）到声画（赖特的强项）、角色都很精彩，尤其前一个小时。但情节上又是“开头结尾有了画面，发展部分没想清楚于是硬来”，vision的过度反真实处理导致观众中途抽离，是这种没想清楚的症状之一。当然，这种硬来与“uncanny导致抽离”也是1970年代恐怖电影的特征之一，或许可以当作赖特致敬的表现吧——至少比温子仁的手法高超多了。总之，2020年拍出这个水平，值得推荐。
华美、糜烂与黑暗，风格化的叙事佐以复古音乐不要太迷人。
缺点演员演技真的烂 导致人物扁平化 不太能代入情绪 为了政治正确强行搞个伟光正的黑人男友真的呵呵了 跟影片风格特别不搭 关键是你找个帅点的也行了 这个真的一言难尽
試問倫敦的老房子裡哪一間不會有亡魂遊蕩？別說SOHO區了，出現在電影81分的時候那個四四方方棺材盒子一樣的圖書館可不就是敝校？裝什麼UAL！好想去SOHO喝酒，it's still the same old London underneath。女主們好美好敢，把男權統統捅死吧。
