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!
《痴》是在讲他人，《椒麻堂会》讲的是自己的祖辈，是在写一种影像家史。是在有限的空间里，无限的想象力，重生到毁灭，两条叙事线的自然切换，人生如戏，舞台依旧。
导演也是没办法的办法，要用一部电影把那么多新人物都铺垫一下，够难为他了。扎导目前为止是最适合DC的导演了。大超真的强！大本真的瘦！218319//大超戏份太少了，反派不够打的。以后扎导是不是不会再和华纳合作了？220314//
看完就很想找個四川人說說話，把剷鏟板板錘子格老子的都講個邊
相比《正义联盟》，扎导我觉得更多笔墨在钢骨身上，然而看下来我觉得钢骨这个角色够立体了，但！啥时候出个独立电影啊！这个角色的可发掘性和他的魅力真是无边！最后还要再表白一次盖尔加朵，真的好美啊！
慢镜慢镜，绿屏绿屏，也只有nickcave和片尾哈利路亚真的触动到了我，另外就是超人复活的惊为天人🙈🙈🙈
那时我踏入影院看了公映版的正义联盟，四年的时间转瞬即逝，漫长的是中途的等待，不过事实证明，他值得等待，永远如此!
是不錯的 很多長鏡頭很喜歡 像舞台劇的官方攝影 時長太長了 @ filmothèque du quartier latin
旧时代也就过去了；
既虚构又真实，既魔幻又现实，既老又新。就是感觉没讲完，还能讲…
形式做到满了，非常非常有诚意。然而坐在今日的时代，确实难言这是我最今年喜欢的电影，说是文艺片但表达逻辑却是商业的。我大概期望看到跟个体有关的，最直接的电影。似乎在写人，其实却是在写戏。
我的天呐，比院线版好点儿，至少终于把故事讲清楚了，但是有些特效是不是还是太残念了，其内容之庞杂，根本就不是一部电影。BGM的品味有点不敢恭维，除了WW的音乐，海王和闪就像某年代歌单，尤其海王，高端男士用品广告。
二星来平衡一下8.9的魔幻高分。升格镜头+史诗配乐一招玩4小时，我快怀疑自己变成闪电侠了。不敢相信小丑台词都能如此冗长拖沓，真的小丑竟是我自己。
对舞台形式太强的影片始终有偏见；演员整体略显僵硬；不同时段的衔接也比较突兀；期待的是一生的故事，结果到壮年的时候就结束了
村上春树在《海边的卡夫卡》里说过：“暴风雨结束后，你不会记得自己是怎样活下来的，你甚至不确定暴风雨真的结束了。但有一件事是确定的，当你穿过了暴风雨，你早已不再是原来那个人。”
我人都傻了，这就是导演剪辑版的魔力吗？很久没有看过这种每一场戏的节奏都莫名其妙还让人昏昏欲睡的电影了。
9.9/10 #Anthology 瑕不掩瑜，固然在调度/节奏上偶有缺失(尤其在中后段略有疲软时)，但这样一出"戏"或"剧"仍然迷人。正如那过浓的妆容，饱和的冷色调，以及扁平且横向的镜头语言，以死亡开篇，邱炯炯用三小时概述了百年来的这出"葬礼"，以"已死"的视角，把"被杀死"的人与事复活，并将其渡往彼岸。某种意义上，主题与艺术形式上是类似于寺山修司的，篇幅与结构又是近于大林宣彦的，但当然都不是，因为这是献给每一个在这个时代依然还在继续"死去"的人，幕布落与不落，"戏"都在被演下去。那些西洋景样的沙盒置景，那些漂浮的过往，许多"事件"本身是隐身的，但又是那样的容易"被看见"，可悲可叹可泣，嬉笑怒骂尽沦落于不言，唯有荒诞以解哀愁。
小邱福戏谑似地唱出我们小时候唱的绕口令—“我不吃鹅蛋我不变鹅，鹅鸡鹅鸭鹅脑壳”，内心深深地被感动。如果那只站在轰炸之后废墟中茫然失措的鹅是我们，童谣好似成真，也只有化身成鹅的我们才能又进入那段风云变幻的历史。个人不是历史的人质，画地也可以不为牢，那是筑起防线，坚守底线。掏粪也好，乞讨也罢，任何恶劣的环境下都有选择，只不过看我们会不会选。邱福选了他的道路并走到了底，喝了孟婆汤这一生无惧也无悔。（太阳出来喜洋洋那段也太好听了
终于看完了……4小时实在是太长了，应该剪成美剧，每集40分钟，评分绝对比现在高！🙄🙄
