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!
这片名起的，我还以为跟魔发精灵、魔发奇缘是一个系列的……迪士尼真的脑浆凝固了吧，或者就是干脆摆烂不思进取了，反正总有新的小女孩韭菜，可以一茬一茬割。无比套路的故事（一个异域风情的家族，小女孩拒绝按家长规训的方式长大，家族受难之时，独自冒险找到破解方法，最后再来个大团圆结局），本阿姨要看吐了。就算是套路，这部也是真难看，连冒险都懒得走出家门了，就讲她家房子要塌了（真·塌房）……太无聊了吧！还是个歌舞片，但也就那样吧。当然好莱坞动画的技术还是顶格的，衣物毛发质感太真实了，好像触手可及。
女人的觉醒还有很漫长的路要走，但却从未停止
压抑，背景到情节到色调都压迫灵魂。虽然有些地方的色彩觉得还能做的更好，但是大体的色彩都很棒，构图很喜欢。另外两位主演都好漂亮好有气质，美女
（结尾确实和好的有点点突然 但是不影响整体的绝）
这里的大前提是 女主真的能同亡者交流。那如果她不带任何特异功能仅仅是一个歇斯底里患者呢？ 舞会一年又一年的聚餐 医生的实验对象换了一批又一批 靠着这样一个带着点神秘主义的女性来高举‘觉醒’的大旗 多少有点令人沮丧。
一群自以为是的男医生随意地用所谓的女疯子做着各种实验，显示自己的学识和能力。女护士们是坚定的执行者，甚至有人借机以折磨病人为乐。被关起来的疯子却治愈着身边的茫然活着的正常人，让她内心得到自由，疯子身体得到自由，一起强大。根据记载那个时代欧洲疯人院多到惊人，满足了很多人的“需要”。
可以对比《飞越疯人院》看，看看主角的表现的差异，看看评论的差异。
单从故事性上来看，本片三星。最后护士长在能走的情况下选择留下，这点无论如何想不明白，她的留下并没有给女主提供有利的逃走因素。片中多处出现的对比映像（女主和护士长的后颈、穿衣、脱衣），以及服化道都是很悦目的，再加一星。
全片以克制平静的叙事逐步揭示无话语权的女性从肉体到精神的全面受戕害；结尾既出意料，又是必然；梅拉尼的导演处女作可圈可点。（完全不赞同某些评论所谓「高潮来得太迟」的说法）
布鲁诺被赶出家门十多年，家人从不谈论他，仿佛从来没有这个人。
画面眼花缭乱，但对叙事来说都是无用功，请让我回到音乐推动剧情的迪士尼年代吧，而不是近两年的大型MV。而且歌也不好听啊。
情节、场景偏分散、琐碎，过于强调情绪的细微变化。表达并非深刻，但意图较明显。
非常推薦。題材和電影主題都決定了這電影不可能難看。唯一的遺憾是，如果換一個成熟導演，可以讓電影的很多細節更自然，更有感染力。
肉体会被禁锢，但信念与爱能让灵魂重获自由。“你走吧，我自由了。”
一部想讲猎巫的电影，主角居然真的是个女巫…行吧
正常与疯癫，医生与疯女人，禁锢与自由，看清自己，看清一切。
Courage和Leadership是最大的超能力。
Bruno在隔间的餐桌给自己画了个餐盘让我破防了🥺
在19世纪末的巴黎，当时被认为过于叛逆或难以相处的女人常被贴上疯子和体制化的标签。那些被诊断患有不同类型神经系统疾病的女人被限制在萨尔佩替耶病院。每年，医院都会和病人一起举办一场盛大的舞会，吸引到巴黎的精英。这是一个可以看见与被看见的地方。
女性的历史，女性的叙事。成片已经能够配得上它的立意了。
