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!
暗黑喜剧，虽然有过于血腥（吃人肉的镜头），但台词对类似素食者、环保主义者、爱宠者、放生者的说明，印象深刻。凡事过犹不及
不过抱着娱乐的心态去看，蛮爽的。
低俗烂俗，恶俗。第一次遇到这样的片。差评！
格调很高，风格化极强的黑色喜剧。法国人搞起「恶趣味」，真的可以令世界各国人民都自惭形秽。想必导演一定不是「素食主义者」，因为在他精心的塑造下，这些人极尽贪婪、自私、极端、暴戾、可恶至极。可导演也不像是个「肉食者」，因为他们残忍、歹毒、冷漠、卑鄙、心狠手辣，以至于看过电影后我几乎已经无法去面对生肉。最后再说一句，不管某群体爱听不爱听，电影中塑造的「极端素食主义」与当下风行的某些「极端女性主义」，共同点颇多，你细品。
演员演到崩溃边缘的演技太好了。
故事模式很像美剧《返生餐单》，有一些很黑色的喜剧梗，但要邪恶得多。很难说这电影到底想说明个啥主题，我只是觉得如果条件允许，人自甘堕落的快感和能力是会超乎想象的。
2022 No.119 / nd / nd Last：大闹天宫
凑合看，消磨时间，可以看到对现在政治正确的反讽，基本也限于口嗨，想要得到更深入的思考，可能就是缘木求鱼了
讲个笑话吧，法国猪肉牛肉的消费关系到巴西雨林的存亡，所以法国人决定为了拯救巴西雨林改吃素食主义者，完美逻辑！
把极端素食者和极端肉食者都各痛打了20大板，法国的社会可能过于无聊没啥好对立的，连这都要来搞出对立思潮。Anyway, 任何事情走极端都很sb,更别说还老要去干涉别人的生活方式了。
肉食主义者对素食主义者的一次极端反击，用喜剧的形式，画面还挺血腥的。
30/11/2021 @ MMPP [hkfff]。當社會充斥一班政治正確的極端素食人士，本片好笑之餘簡直替大家出一口氣
充满了讽刺和血腥味道，谈不上好坏，就是剧本还是查了一些。
台词颇有深意，最近难得有这么有趣的语言艺术的讽刺剧了。
3.5 开始看的有点瘆人，后面点评各种肉质很搞笑，再往后男主想退出有点拖拉，如果结尾不那么仓促就是满四星
氛围的营造很成功，男主角演技非常精彩，撑起了整个故事，不然的话人物内心深度挖掘不够的缺点会更凸显。趁着场面混乱从推车上捞起一本书藏进衣服的场景令人震撼：精神生活的丧失是比褫夺人身自由更大的剥夺。
小众片子。污名化素食者肯定的。但也没给吃肉开脱吧。
作为一个经常被极端素食主义者烦到的人，看完直呼过瘾！情节非常紧凑，没有废话；虽然性别意识稍显落后、个别人物设定cliché，但都个性鲜明，刻画得很利落。算得上一部非常成功的荒诞小品。如果用两个字总结这部片子给我的印象，那就是“痛快”。
弃局而退或是真正意义上的胜利。
男主的表演具备异常强大的统摄力，精神世界的紊乱状态作为电影里的常见题库，被重新书写得有所惊喜。
