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!
就当看个实景拍摄的名著电影吧。黑白色调拍出了惊悚，也奠定了悲剧气氛。预言式定场的套路看来中外皆同，不过麦克白更多的像是角色明知道结局却被魔鬼牵引着走的无奈，而中国则是不知道结局，莫名其妙走向结局的无奈。还是有所区别。(ps：个人可能还是无法接受所有的心理状态都通过语句展现，如果部分的心理状态能通过语句说出来觉得更靠谱点，而且觉得如果情感不剧烈却说心理状态也挺影响演员的面部表情和表演的。所以感觉莎翁剧看剧本还好，一还原到舞台或电影就不大看的进去了。最后那个麦克白不怕女人生的咒语被打破的原因比较喜感）
I have no words it’s so well made in every single aspect. I loved the witches, the birds, the leaves, the girl in the water, the monologue. Frances McDormand and Denzel Washington are THE actors of their generation. Will need a rewatch with subtitles in the future.
【非大銀幕 3.8/5.0】影片像是用一盏现代玻璃杯，盛了从朽木桶里取出的百年陈酒，酸涩的酒香先于味觉在光影中显现。古英语和戏剧化调度，在摄影（灯光、构图）的运用中展露最陈旧的新貌。麦克白的死法，原著中只提及人头落地，没有细写，我喜欢电影的处理，恶血伴皇冠坠落，生命随名利逝去。
很稳的改编，摄影和音效设计尤其出彩。在寂静空荡、好似噩梦般的城堡里，每段声音似乎都被放大扭曲，也在听觉上促进了Macbeth的暴躁多疑。放映后和Joel + Frances的q&a记几个印象深刻的回答：黑白摄影是最容易将图像变得抽象的方法，以此从中达到一种极简；台词是最重要的，它的韵律感要和音效相辅相成。#nyff59
对我来说只是科普了一下世界文学。 摄影美学，光影，都一流。
颁奖季 nothing to comment
虽然是改编自莎翁经典著作，但与其说是一部电影，不如说是一部电影画面下的舞台剧，唯一亮点就是黑白画风和摄影（估计能拿奖），故事冗长老套乏味，台词也是各种碎碎念，让人看的昏昏欲睡，连奥斯卡老学究们都没给个什么有份量的提名，更别说普通观众会有多喜欢，唯独的影帝提名在本届众多优秀种子选手面前也显得黯淡无光。两星吧，不推荐。
90%的内容听不懂。。。有几个场景的视听还是很震撼的，建筑和光影设计也是浓浓的表现主义，但有些对话场景镜头单调的正反打难免过于乏味
略失望吧，预告骗了属于是……影像上有一些惊艳时刻，声音设计也有点意思，但总体比较乏善可陈，观看过程一度感到无聊，究其原因可能是它在文本和形式上都无甚新意，风格化就只是为了风格化而存在，遑论像《灯塔》那样做到二者的自洽和互相支持。像有的评论说的，在《蜘蛛巢城》之后，再做这种改编可能已无必要了。B
演员们的演技令我叹为观止。
fran来演麦克白夫人真是有生之年！非要鸡蛋里挑骨头的话就是配乐有点弱
就文学改编电影而言，科恩兄弟一向喜欢忠实于原著，就这部麦克白而言，科恩兄弟的依然保持这种倾向，发挥的地方主要是美术，一种兼顾古典与现代的置景设计，兼顾电影与舞台的语言形态，融合黑色电影美学的摄影，兼顾不同种族演员及口音，算是一次注入新鲜血液的新尝试，新发挥，不过貌似收获到的认可有限。面对莎翁经典剧作，演绎取舍本身值得玩味，想要实现一种全方位的成功，可谓难矣！
麦克白的陌生化。
话剧的表现形式，一定需要演员具备良好的体力，感觉说台词都特别累。
3.5
1.经典心理剧用科恩兄弟的角度再看一遍，高清画质，用心设计的画面场景，观影享受。2.女巫的预言，要是完全不理会怎样？会不会这个故事是个自我实现的预言? 为权力而放弃真实自我的人，貌似都会有如同麦克白一般的困境。
摄影，光影运用，表演，均是顶级，但整合在一起却并没有那么合理。

很意外的是居然用表现主义拍麦克白，抛开别的不说，但就这个打光和摄影就值回票价 3.5
