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!
3.5/节奏慢需要耐心。赌博只是业余爱好，施暴者一系列创伤后应激障碍才是主要。
这部电影的气质非常迷人，能够让人完全沉浸到保罗·施拉德的故事节奏里，稳、准、酷而且有着足够的沉淀，奥斯卡·伊萨克也是无比正确的选角。四星。
有神秘感，好演员。让观众能够跟随电影的情节。ptsd很可怕，参与其中的每个人都是受害者。
还算不错，就是最后的结局有点意外，报个仇还把自己搭进去了，不是应该潇洒离去，逍遥法外的吗？
看着还不错的卡司阵容，装得特深沉地演了个B级片。
为了Oscar daddy看的 朋友给我说才知道导演居然是出租车司机同一个
基调和质感很不错 犯罪惊悚这个类型并不少见 人物很立体矛盾很合理 但这些优点随着剧情的推进慢慢的不见了 故事开始变得夸张浮躁 甚至在赌场中的镜头和气氛也变得很诡异男女感情戏也是没有任何作用 又是浪费脚本演员的典范
走性冷淡风的导演不该找伊萨克的，他紧实的屁股和壮硕的大腿让整个画面都非常不性冷淡
预想中精彩的赌局基本上没有的 只有梦呓一般的鱼眼ptsd噩梦重现 节奏太慢了节奏感也太差了 每个人物的出场又都莫名其妙没有连惯感 看得一直走神 浪费了奥斯卡的好演技
enmm what's the story for?~... 复仇和赌博两个故事放在一个电影里真的好吗？
一位孤寂神秘的男人，一个始终不能遗忘的过去阴影，一种自我毁灭的倾向，连同一个作为背景的有争议的社会议题……它可以是《夜行者》、《你从未在此》、或者导演自己的《出租车司机》，抑或本片。感觉这类电影的成败主要在于一位迷人的主演，在这一点上，本片的主演不负所望。一个天赋异禀的男人之所以能做到抗拒人性不成为一个赌徒，乃是因为他心中有着更大的愤怒和空洞。
在赌桌上完成一场又一场的盘算，白天他是精于心计的算牌人。夜晚在漆黑的房间，他坐于桌前剖出最多的秘密。鱼眼镜头里尽是不愿回忆的梦魇，恐怖的画面昭彰着恶魔的来源。
说实在话我不知道片子到最后是要讲什么，难道是伤害别人的人也有PTSD吗？谁能给我解解惑
005剧本应该吸引了演员，但实际故事组成逻辑出错了，想要拍得吸引人太难了。并且女主选角太差。
一定是部两极分化的电影，你能看到出租车司机的影子。保罗施拉德气质太对了，长处短处都太明显了。他太注重人物精神状态的拿捏而忽视了基本的叙事逻辑。这就让人物和叙事产生了脱节，复仇、打牌、做爱等等这些情节要素都脱离了重点。但是反而这种离心力让人物身上产生迷人气质，于绝望和痛苦中重拾人性。
仍能看到些美国电影的旧日荣光，当然不觉得足以和Taxi Driver相提并论，详细不展开了。期待施拉德还会与斯科塞斯合体搞创作，不是老马挂个制片名头的这种。
# 78 Venezia # 3.5 除了男主无可替代的颜和肉以外，在沉默中的突然爆发会令不少观者路转粉，此外用于展示PTSD的扭曲镜头很精彩
蛮有意思的一个局.【住在酒店还要各种把家具的腿部绑上床单有点意思。】
剧情过于平淡 ，穿插了臭名昭著关塔那摩监狱 ，虐囚回忆 ，威廉达福客串了 一个小角色 ，并未提高影片的成色 。
可夸之处有，但硬伤太重。大量的玩牌戏码一次次削弱了内里主旨的存在感，男主反复声明要助人的行为也大大降低了趣味性，推进中故事主轴的严重移位以至于电影离题太远。主角意欲通过自救式赌博来实现拯救他人的目的，这一意图在影片中表达得并不过关，甚至不太成立。两个人所拥有和被作用的黑暗回忆才是共同的病灶，在忽略了这个之后，一人自嗨型的援助内容着墨过多，另一人儿戏般的复仇计划又几无深究，令全片实在找不到一把牢靠的抓手。即便结尾部分在男主身上做了一些应有的体现，但对整部电影而言也是杯水车薪之举。
