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!
雖然有日本傳統父權主義的影響，但感情表達還是很真摯，感人。
日本总能把这种电影温情合理化，本来以为是平俗的情节，不过就是根本上和电影元素没有太大关系了
虽然水准一般，但是里面因电影相聚，因电影重逢，因电影而关联还是让人挺动情的。
这才是过年该看的电影。平凡人平凡事拍出了花儿。
没到最后时间，就一直是处于没看懂的状态。两条时间线傻傻的分不清。找不到节点自己…可能比主人公还感到恐慌orZ
拍电影到底要不要才华呢？才华又究竟是什么呢？（看过太多菅田将晖的作品综艺视频，还是差点被这个角色摧毁我对他的信念
很想给差评，演员好感，故事不怎么样，电影圈盛产渣男，他年纪轻轻就开始如丧家犬的一生。拖累一个好女人，心疼这么好的女人，嫁给所谓的“才华”男，悲惨的伺候渣男一生……一把年纪还要为了替他还债 擦洗脏乱男厕。这样的人拿剧本优胜奖，毫无说服力。认同--唯电影和爱不能辜负，但如此渣男毫无立场。
喜欢英文译名-it's a flickering life
作为向松竹百年致敬的电影实在太一般了。热爱电影却因为挫折逃离电影、只给家里带来无尽困难的男主，自我牺牲要给男主幸福的女主，默默守护女主的男二……人物都没有魅力，非常扁平化。迷影的快乐也在电影里没有太多体现，除了对小津的致敬/吐槽。北川景子的昭和女星是略有意思的一个角色，想致敬原节子？虽然感觉扮相只有形似而缺乏神似（倒是莫名像张雨绮）。最后带着男主离世不知道为何让我想起了《千年女优》，时光催人老，不老的都是寄托了我们最初最强烈情感的神。
人物缺乏具体动机，罕见直白道出全球电影产业的艰难，松竹百年，关于电影的电影。
只为坚守职业操守。
多年未见竟然没有认出彼此，绷不住阿绷不住……
祖孙合作创作电影剧本的美好画面真是令人回味啊……
#BJIFF 2021.9.17#大伙笑的时候，学电影的我哭成了狗。
电影是否是一种逃避生活的方式？电影就是把那些平淡无奇的镜头组接到一起，才能产生无与伦比的魅力。极其浪漫，多处小幽默，让原本略显“旧式”的伦理剧与三角恋，变得有趣起来。迷影它就是一种生活方式，电影原教旨主义，让我们对电影院充满执念。电影与现实发生碰撞，即使要保持社交距离，与银幕之间的距离是用心去衡量的。日本这几年的《默片解说员》、《海边电影院》和本片《电影之神》，都能算作“元电影”，但我又不想用这样的词语去描绘那样对电影炙热的情感。去TM的封校！劳资要去电影院看电影！
山田洋次还是擅长家庭戏啊，有几幕看得鼻头发酸，眼眶湿润，但总体这片子 只能算一般……
不明白为何女主如此义无反顾地爱着男主。有点联想到千年女优
几乎没有缺点的年轻go酱和几乎没有优点的老年go酱，验证了“我们最后都会活成自己最讨厌的模样”这条铁律。也或许是从两个人的视角，对go酱不同时期展开的描述，年轻的淑子视角和老年后女儿的视角，因此于一人身上，呈现出两种不同的轨迹。
2021年德国电影学院奖（劳拉奖）影帝作。
山田洋次的電影真的是要耐下性子來看，還是可以打高分的電影。
