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!
7.5/10，东木创造的温情时刻实在太动人了，相对于《骡子》而言甚至放弃了危机情形的设置。偶尔出现的“拦路者”不但被剧情轻松化解，而且成为了情感构建的“催化剂”，因此“哭泣的男人”比单纯的“strong”更具有力量。
老人家的作品看一部少一部了，多给一个星
克林特伊斯特伍德是电影界的活化石，九十多岁的高龄依然保持一年一部的高产。
《廊桥遗梦》中的东木老爷子确确实实有其独特的男人魅力，但本片中还不断有女人倒贴就多少有些他想展现自己不服老的意味了。
不得不说，剧本上实在是太糙了 ，各种剧情转折和人物动机都说不过去 ，但是作为东木的影迷，还能说什么呢，有一部看一部
太乏味了，整体故事都提不上劲，像东木每一句台词的有气无力，仿佛都是仙气
真的就像老人讲故事
好似久违的杨少华讲了一个笑话。一场伊斯特伍德的春梦
独属于老爷子的浪漫，英雄迟暮却仿佛风华正茂。夕阳西下，荒漠人家。有人驯马，有人追杀…没有人比伊斯特伍德更懂西部片。Macho瑞思拜，爷俩换了三辆车终于开上奔驰了。怎么说呢，有种《完美的世界》平行HE时空的感觉…
做为男二: 拉福完全失败。选角，剧本，人设表演全面垮塌。
公路爷孙情，送完毒品送小孩，永远的老牛仔老司机，片尾想起了廊桥遗梦，要强了一辈子该歇歇了
老爷子的电影看着就是舒服，可惜男孩的演技太差了，严重拖后腿
三星给老爷子的身体，希望他活过百岁，但别再辛辛苦苦拍片了。
真的要是别的导演拍的，能有三星，但是东木啊，可能是真的老了。
也许东木大爷老了 想拍一个温柔简单的故事 这么大年纪还自导自演 想到这就无比敬佩
缓慢如水，波澜惊起却又迅速翻涌而过，只留下墨西哥的黄沙和挤进酒馆缝隙的阳光。
一星是给这个年纪还奋斗在电影圈子的东木爷子
其实很明白老而弥坚的东木导演自导自演这部电影的心境，宝刀已老，虽然曾驰骋疆场，但现在却难堪大用，心理落差可见一斑。电影里的故事情节体现出了东木导演牛仔气质的一面，为了保护心爱的女人孩子离开家。但是故事情节和人物成长都太单薄了。
挺好，挺好。东木让替身在马上替自己wild了一把，再让小朋友在旁边叫“猛男”。
