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!
不难预料的情节发展，贵在感情细腻，镜头干净，人物鲜明
《被遗忘的女巫的阴影》，十九世纪马其顿的农村风俗让人联想起果戈里笔下的小俄罗斯和托尔斯泰笔下的大俄罗斯
很不错的男同毛片（波兰语，听起来和俄语很像，算是毛片吧），片中男主也观看了男同毛片，女主比较美。80年代+波兰+男同=绝望
相当舒缓、冷峻的艺术片，仅有的恐怖元素来自于女巫仿佛《猛鬼街》里弗莱迪的烧伤面容，和血肉模糊的开膛破肚；哑巴少女慢条斯理的内心独白贯穿全片，娓娓道来着她的情绪、疑问和欲望：她因为女巫的诅咒失去声音成为同类，又通过画皮一般借尸还魂成男人、女人和孩童，补充着缺失的生活同时，探索生而为人的喜怒哀乐。以女孩婴儿时期被女巫诅咒成为怪物作为开头，到最后为救自己姑娘被迫把她变成怪物作为结尾，母亲与女儿，也成了电影的一条暗线，构成了一个闭环。
女性的生命是一条河流，不断流淌，却始终停留在原地。然而男性导演镜头下的女性觉醒依然无法脱离男性思维的桎梏，陈升来拍大概也不会更差吧。。
——我欺骗了你们。
女巫换装秀以及欧洲原野风光摄影，外加一点看似高级，内核却空洞的女性主义，以及克尔凯郭尔的存在主义。一言以蔽之，不如咱的《聊斋》。
但感情线真的太短，应该给双男主加戏才对
视觉质感相当强悍的一部艺术影片。恐怖的暗黑故事借女巫的视角控诉了可怕的男权社会和对女性群体的压迫，并在其中讴歌了生命以及追问反思自我。导演野心很大，利用大量自然抒情的手持镜头诉说着人与自然背后的美与恶，在没有商业资本的束缚控制下，完成度非常高，这才应该是独立电影该有的样子！劳米·拉佩斯的演技越来越生猛，非常好的接住了年轻女巫第一次转化人类的衔接戏份。诗意又残忍，看得令人心碎又闹心，成人童话的未分级全景呈现。结尾小女巫对女儿的义无反顾真得是说不上来的叹息。导演未来可期啊！
电影真是讽刺了那群绞尽脑汁对付同性恋的同性恋，aka当局hhh。恐同即深柜，但权力者的深柜往往都沾染同胞的血迹。果然最见不得同胞快乐的就是同胞。
“我不会丢下你的。”
“我不会丢下你的。”
#Sundance 2022 美丽，悲伤，震撼，人生之诗。虽然节奏慢，但是很沉醉，有种“鬼魅浮生”的伤感，旁白的絮絮低语也带有种历经沧桑后依旧迷茫的困惑。
本来以为是在永恒中不断衰竭的一段相互陪伴，但都是关于孤单。从诅咒中被解放的洞穴身体，亦或者是走向诅咒的自然身体，都在与外界的交流与抗衡中对内反抗着自我迷思——关于身份与性别，关于生活与存在。将身体装扮成不同模样的人体实验就像是一首被不断吟唱的逃亡，疑问和低语不断从身体中迸涌而出，经过人类的皮肤、内脏和心跳的污染，再度被身体吸收，而不兼容的器官只能诉诸死亡得以触发共存与消化，爱与悲伤的力量由此而生。作为女巫的身体限制（即一种传统或传说）被摒弃，一种更为积极的继承正在发生，以万物之名。
和恐怖片没有啥关系，非常深沉的主题。前半部分不知道在说什么，故弄玄虚，当主角开始体验他人生命，一切如此清晰，live & love，体验生命的快乐与爱。太棒了
画面磨砂质感的电影，整个片处于压抑氛围，调色也比较暗，party和两个人搞在一起那里气氛轻松点，最后简直是太刺激吓人了，开放式结局，男主很有责任心，卷毛大眼睛特别可爱，小警察怎么会不喜欢他呢
和恐怖片实则无甚关联，更像是一部暗黑童话，文艺片的内核，用一种猎奇的形式探究着亘古不变的哲学问题，我是谁，我从何而来，将去向何处。
同志片+探案片的新型影视题材，可惜国内永远看不到
两个人长的真的太可爱了，一个赛一个的狗狗眼啊
男主的纠结挣扎，现实残酷与信念破碎，很无奈，也许才会被出柜又向往自由的艾瑞克吸引吧
