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!
节奏很紧凑，在一个小空间内能把一个互帮互助的紧急事件演的幽默又感动。
“为人父母压力很大，这种压力从未离开过，你就像是拇指在淤青上一样。
真好。卸下枷锁，赤裸相见，做爱，做人吧。喜欢配乐，喜欢摄影，喜欢艾玛汤普森勇敢地真实地露出身体。
给我感觉还是直面自己的话题，虽然主要是性的方面。Nancy的耻感比较具体可感，第一次会面的尴尬简直太形象了；Leo的耻感隐藏在对家人的逃避上面。焦点在两人中间缓慢地转移，在结尾同时达到与自己的和解。最后Nancy获得高潮的方式感觉很妙，借助了Leo但不完全依靠他。开头以为是性转版《年轻气盛》，中间感觉更像是年龄差版《愛追うふたり》。艾玛汤普森的局促感和压迫感很真实。
女性主义就是认识自我，意识觉醒，完成突破的过程。两个人从对话和互动中形成互文，Emma thompson的演技真是出神入化
8分。这种主要就两个演员，几乎全程都在碎碎念唠叨的电影本来不是我的菜，但架不住本片真的是太有意思了啊。老年妇女的求爱之旅。论做鸭，这一位是专业的！！！里奥算是满足了女人们的各种幻想了吧，但反过来也能看出太过完美而显得不真实。Emma Thompson的表演非常精彩，我觉得是可以放入今年最佳讨论的级别~~那种又想又怕，不断放开心灵的过程真的是绝了~~~~五星推荐啊，哈哈~~
整体套路化，说教味太浓，呼吁性工作合法化真的大可不必，和妈妈一起看的感觉很奇妙
911祭，用欢乐来取代悲痛，用友情来化解仇恨。
“你的身体很美，真希望你能‘看到’。”
一切都太像一部话剧了，顺理成章的职业与压抑，顺理成章的身体羞耻，顺理成章的冲突与和解，几乎就是一篇命题作文。因此尽管它提供了一个很好的观照视角，它仍然很不真实。更何况，由一个年轻貌美谈吐优雅的男娼来“解放”一个中年妇女的叙事看似惊世骇俗，实则保守（一种老男人嫖雏妓的对位叙事）。男主的形象亦颇为扁平，我们无力分清他的言行举止有多少真情实感，又有多少只是出于“职业道德”（毕竟敬业的色情演员简直不要太多）。艾玛·汤普森的演技精湛到了可歌可泣的地步，但本片的深度也就止步于此了。毕竟诚如戴老师所言，“我不相信消费能提高女性的地位”；钟点一到，女老师裸身自鉴无比洒脱，然而这究竟是“犹可脱也”还是“不可脱也”？
Fantasy？no. Liberation？YES！Even a first step！
所以纠结仍然是纠结的，想要放开但仍然纠结。
啊我真的有被男主帅到…尤其抿嘴笑的时候，但是明明整体一眼看过去不是我喜欢的类型啊！怎么回事！
上次看这种单一空间两个人物周旋的电影还是《穿裘皮的维纳斯》，这两部探索性与欲的电影剧本都很强。更喜欢这部电影的选角，两个演员的表演都非常细腻而有层次。一边逃避，一边逼近，一边顾左右而言他，一边深入。最喜欢两个人开头的寒暄，高潮还是自己给的以及结尾来自女性的凝视。再次感叹男主有种古典的完美，好想重金买个俩小时玩玩！
“我喜欢把事情规划的很好，就是为了避免惊喜。”
20年后的今日，当别有用心之人还在将彼时的悲剧用作思想灌输的素材和立场观点的划分时，Broadway的一场演出将"We're all islanders"歌颂。
看见结尾汤姨的“坦诚相见”，才知道女性原来可以解放到什么程度！
911祭，用欢乐来取代悲痛，用友情来化解仇恨。
室内戏本身的形式还是太过局限了一点 所有感触的点都来自于艾玛汤普森 她的皱纹 她的白发 她的不完美的肉体 感谢导演如此的剧本 也感谢她的出演
有了Ham的官摄在前，这次反而觉得还是录音更好听。（果然还是要先看现场版啊！近距离摄像丢了太多细节了）
