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!
酒吧-"人不应该对一切都感到恐惧，尤其是为了自由。";
好喜欢，属于你能猜到下一步的情节但它又永远比你想的多一步，狗控流下了幸福又痛苦的泪水。。。。
传统三镜头法拍摄的一部传统罪案片。
跟女朋友爱情，之前看影评说太多男女床戏，实际就两次，第一次是遇见男生前，很愉快，第二次就对应遇见后，就女生很主动在问[怎么了]
阴郁的波兰让人看的觉得很压抑 故事总体中规中矩 结尾有些怪异 破案的点感觉也很弱
真好看，从最开始的画质调色天哪，感觉太多需要学习的了，还有镜头语言
黑色政治惊悚中开出美丽的风信子之花，尽管雨打风吹满地飘零，仍在那一片灰暗中留下了抹不去的颜色。“这里永远都不会改变。”“他们憎恨幸福的同胞。”“不能害怕自由。”
四星无疑。悬念足够，节奏紧凑，情感递进有耐心，佳作，推荐。
男二还挺好看的，结局让我想起了暗之光，尺度还挺大，不过男主跟那女的床戏真的没啥必要，为啥男同片总要整那么多男女的床戏?我也一直没想明白男主到底是双还是深柜
“我会找到你的”伴随着警鸣声戛然而止给人留白以想象，也许也只有在想象中他们才能在一起。
如果没有把直男掰弯这出，我就给五星。我反对同性恋，但我赞美给同性恋自由空间的国家。因为我认为，真正的自由，就是在不危害他人的前提下想干嘛就干嘛。
剧情很扁平很无聊，结尾太仓促。
还是恐同即深柜定律。另外没想到电影还可以。
原来是这么新的一部片子，而且故事背景也源自真实的波兰社会。话说男主的警察女友的面相好像中国人。
情欲张力其实是最有挖掘潜力的，没拍出来有点可惜
完成度很高的一部电影，起承转合交代的很清楚，故事性也不弱，推荐。
【2.0】对那个时代的那些人那些事是唏嘘的，但这并不改变观影过程如坐针毡、如芒刺背、如鲠在喉的事实。说到底苦难者们的叙事其实都大同小异，流水线作业式的好莱坞传统剧情片讲法注定只会加重叙事同质化带来的审美疲劳。
真好看，从最开始的画质调色天哪，感觉太多需要学习的了，还有镜头语言
情欲与犯罪，自由与政治，简单却精巧的设计，禁忌之恋在社会高压和权力腐败下更显压抑
警察为案情进展假装同志，最后假戏真做，彻底告别直男，“父母之爱子，则为之计深远” ，男主有个好父母！
