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!
特意挑了一天工休，认真下载了电影，投在电视机屏幕，醉醺醺看到最后跟着真北野武进剧场的时候，才发现电影竟然已经结束了，因为叙述仿佛才刚刚开始的样子，整个故事带着前两年看红白歌会北野武上台唱浅草小子的余温看的，所以自然会加分，但其实整体剧情排布不均匀，头重脚轻，另外不知道是为了深入这个形象的原因，影帝演的北野武在这个阶段就已经开始中风的脸抽抽，总觉得有点违和，这个时候不应该是真正的浅草小子嘛，不过值得一体的是那段脱衣舞女演唱会确实是古早浪漫
老裁缝气定神闲，通过几方博弈，言语挑逗，成功团灭了黑帮之一，太厉害了。
是一部很平庸的励志剧，虽然我掉泪了但依然感觉到了技巧煽情有点过了，男主的老年妆有点像蜡像……
很久没看到这么老派的话剧电影了，连看了两遍。角色一个接一个来到舞台，登场再退场，在平静的对话中均匀摇摆、字字珠玑，抛出越来越多的新信息，最终达到高潮。剧情虽无深度，却足以牵动心弦。就像搓麻，摸出一张牌，就会改变牌面，诱牌做得好，又能引发整桌牌的局面。但可能编剧写得太顺太密，又总觉得差一口气。不过马克·里朗斯真是三招见输赢的高手，看起来不费吹灰之力。
109 干儿子有些表现不合理，戏剧感太强所以也无所谓了，还算紧凑，就是20分钟左右就知道谁是rat
精彩的剧情，情真意切的讲述，加本人坐镇，是真的情感炸弹。
“I am a cutter.”
虽然反转自然也聪明，但捱不过前半段实在太拖沓，最后想鼓掌可拍不下去手。
真的，少爷死的时候还觉得这剧平平无奇。但后面的剧情还是蛮惊喜的，除了老爷子纹身有点假，另外如果能演出后面判若两人的感觉就好了，现在就觉得最后的反转怪怪的
为了大叔多一颗星，太喜欢北野武了，真实，不做作
全片发生在裁缝店里，很有舞台剧的范儿。芝加哥黑帮和英国老裁缝都很有腔调，所以故事看得不出戏。
另类黑帮片
8/10.
有明确的泪点处，也不是个好电影了（自认为），因为这些真实的事件本来就真挚得足以让人流泪。
从故事设定本身的角度，加上悬疑反转的水平来看，这部作品肯定是不下四星。
这种单一场景的商业片，就像三件套西装的样式，人人都知道长什么样，不外乎人物进进出出，反转扮猪吃老虎，比的就是个手艺的精巧合身。这一点上，这片顶多算个合格的bespoke，没有Savile Row预期的惊艳感
短小精悍的室内电影，感觉拍成话剧会非常精彩，剧本不错，层层反转，虽有bug，瑕不掩瑜。
3.5分。 严格遵守三一律法则，让所有的故事都聚焦于一天一间裁缝店里。虽然这期间几派人物来来回回，穿梭不停，但都在这个小区域里展开心理博弈，叙事风格上回到了五六十年代希区柯克的悬疑片做派，老旧，但并不让人烦闷，只要沉下心，依旧是一部值得一看的犯罪悬疑片。 不过，最有意思的，还是对于西服文化的展示，更准确地说，是对老手艺剪裁师的工作还原。将服饰的制作精准对应到具体的每个步骤，并将大体阶段和案件计划进行巧妙对应，这是老派电影人的讲究，也是文化掮客们的欢场。
螺蛳壳里做道场，原来是《模仿游戏》编剧当导演，the perfection is necessary goal precisely because it is unattainable, if you don't aim for perfection, you cannot make anything great, and yet, true perfection is impossible,
可惜没有北野武和他妈妈的戏份 以及家人的戏份
