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!
台灣第一部stereo，台灣影史原聲帶前五，期待太高反而覺得還好，空鏡頭使用感覺是受侯導影響，但又覺得切鏡跟調度有些單調，所謂更「寫實」只是比較沒那麼類型，相較之下十年後的美麗時光確實更加細膩且出色。
配乐台语歌👍👍 罗大佑和林强那段好劲 谭志刚好帅……… 戏里戏外叹口气
#2022金馬奇幻影展# 3.5 榮幸看到修復版的世界首映，原聲帶太優秀以至於全片最搶戲鏡頭是林強跟羅大佑的特別演出，太純正的台灣黑幫電影，音質跟顆粒感真的太棒，依然看到很多影圈熟悉的大人物：陳松勇、李天祿、游安順、高捷，但裡面的人被問話都死不開口，西咧靠北膩😍😍😍🔪（勇伯口吻）
十六年后，在遥远的意大利一部叫格莫拉的电影里面两个追火少年重走了你两兄弟的路，吸毒、偷抢老大的军火，最后被乱枪打死在街头，简直是一模一样的路啊……
事实证明，伍佰的歌真适合去酒馆听。
孩子，没事的，一切过不去的都会过去
改编自埃莱娜·费兰特的小说，依旧是她自己说过小说永恒关系的主题“母亲”。到了这部里，比在天才女友里放大和专注很多。永远紧绷的女主，说起来那些事都是很久以前了，可是只有女性明白那些隐秘的联系，是一张永远都兜住的网。看完后有点庆幸，没有孩子，否则我会疯。适合那些有孩子的女知识分子们看，都是痛点。看完时，我手边也有一个橙子。
小格局的文艺片，聚焦的是女权和母性之间微妙又错综复杂的摇摆。透过本身就有巨大文学性的女主角来呈现，则显得迷离又令人窒息。权重过于偏向表演，但也是女性编剧和导演独到的细腻之处。喜剧演员出身的科尔曼的正剧表演功力令人动容。
音乐真的太棒了，纽约首映片尾字幕除了导演只有作曲出现的时候全场掌声雷动。

二十年的时间单位撬动了时间深处的记忆，使得二十年的记忆单位蓦地绷紧时间韧带的创伤。怡静的阳光海滩突闯一对惊厥的母女，无缝闪回又甜又腻又酸又涩的旧时光。工作与家庭的对抗之战觉醒离开女儿追求理想是选择也是召唤，激情的人生有创伤才会有数不尽的愁绪紊流，这紊流触发的漩涡才是敲击责任磐石的回响。
# 78 Venezia # 能把这么多戏精放一起然后呈现出如此平凡无奇的效果也算是导演的一大功力所在，神了！
本可以成为一部隐秘微凉又掷地有声的凯莉·雷查德电影。所有闪回都是多余的，应该通过破碎的当下揣测过去（哪怕是恶意的），而非目睹完整的过去反过来证实当下。科尔曼这个表演啊，拳打梅姨剑指科恩嫂了。
处女作拍成这样真是厉害啊~虽然剧本获了奖，虽然我没读过原著，但是总感觉剧情中好像少了点什么……
寻娃启事勾兑婚育噩梦，“任何想移除疑虑的企图都是霸权的开始”，随性而走留下一条橙皮之蛇；找自己老公演魅力教授，导演 Maggie Gyllenhaal 派家属福利
母职焦虑以这样的方式呈现是真的不算高明，甚至别扭，没有Coleman这个电影基本上一团散沙。
竟然没认出达妹！这个造型可不比五十度灰好多了好吗 发现好多女演员都走上了导演的道路还挺成功 扎实的剧本加上几个好演员 电影基本就成功了80%
雨一直下，像我的悲哀。
在另一位母亲的身上看到自己过去的影子，连带回忆起曾经的困境与矛盾。电影释放出了勒达面对母亲的责任与向往的独立而彷徨下的负能量，也揭示了没有做好准备却开始抚养孩子的现实问题，暗处的女儿既是家中被冷落的孩子，亦是内心深处渴望爱却又害怕爱的自己。
好无聊的题材，再用现实主义的手法拍也不会变好看
