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!
只拍了一个月就杀青了， 这个水平可以理解。
daddy还是那个daddy，一把掀翻小屁孩的时候我只能 wow~ 其实配乐都很好听，就是用力过度了一点，太想营造纸醉金迷的糜烂气氛了，以至于整部电影都像一篇“散”文诗。
“He can recognize the Transcendent,he can study those methods which brought him to that realization,but that actual ‘why’of that realization is a mystery.”
角色之间毫无chemistry 赌博线和救赎线可以说毫不搭嘎 只能为了Oscar的颜加一星
一个比较好的题材被导演和编剧毁得只剩形式不见高潮与转折 旧时的伤痛没说好 打扑克也没讲到点子上 两相不连贯 结果平淡得有如催眠
理解把Oscar拍得帅得没边了，但拿拍太空戏的劲儿拍小赌场牌桌和廉价霓虹灯花园是不是太过了，“他不仅又帅又神秘还很有深度，真的很深哦（配乐起）”，最后一幕做作到想掀桌。
淡淡的忧伤，说不上来的感觉；记忆深刻的一个人在被白被单裹好的桌子上一边记录，一遍喝酒的场面；可能内心中有这样的渴望。
并没有那么差，但又的确很多时候并没有满足类型期待。
“算牌人”的身份似乎并不重要，只是用来认识女主和快速筹钱的背景板。但这恰是全片最迷人的地方之一，我们等待男主一掷千金一夜暴富一雪前耻，我们等待牌局作为翻盘的机会，甚至我们就是在等待输或赢的结果。最后，轻飘飘的，他走了。
和PTA处女作《赌城纵横》一样，几乎没有展现炫酷的赌博技巧的场面，赌博只是背景板。和保罗施拉德一贯的作品风格，创伤过往的主角，自我毁灭与救赎。监狱虐囚部分的夸张鱼眼镜头有意思，但总体完成不如《第一归正会》。奥斯卡伊萨克梳个大背头还是颇有赌神那神韵的。
是不是忘了雇编剧啊......都没有故事的吗？！
oscar的颜真对胃口啊，帮我撑着看完……
何必要这么讲故事呢？导演应该把自己家里都包上白布，然后拿个黑笔满屋子把意淫构思都画上涂鸦就好了，怎么还能拉投资，叫上几个演员呆若木鸡一样的演一场给观众看呢？
一个尝试自我救赎的故事，赌局和回忆相互穿插， 编剧真的有在为观众努力减轻剧本的沉重感了。赌桌上那个USA玩家讽刺值直接拉满。总的来说还挺有意思吧
7分，无处排解的对过去的痛苦回忆，不同于出租车司机，这次有了明确的指向，关塔那摩虐囚事件，拍的犹如“亡命驾驶”一样逼格满满，难以移开视线；装扮成满身美国国旗的职业赌徒，每赢一次就大喊一声USA，而且一直在赢，滑稽的明喻。
往事虽然过去，但是记忆过不去;暴力已经成为往事，但是躯体里已然充满暴力，想要达到心理平衡是多么困难的事，打牌赌钱，奔波往来，都无济于事
保罗施拉德的镜头我还是爱的，但是这故事节奏慢的我都忍不了，结尾还能更拖吗，以及男女主毫无化学反应。看看Oscar isaac大概是唯一的意义
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。
与第一归正会同样的基调。酷哥的爱，tough love是也
保罗•施拉德回归“房间里的男人”之作，回归的还有禁欲式的主角，带着伤痕和过去最后实现复仇
