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!
Very unsurprising movie. It’s grand and intricate, in a neutral way
扎实的名著电影，布景服化道一看就很贵很还原，巴尔扎克的小说毕竟戏剧性极高，看起来毫不无聊；是文学梦的幻灭，爱情的幻灭，也是妄图实现阶级跃层的幻灭，时至今日，类似的故事仍然不断上演，至少男主功成名就过，大多人被淹没在大城市的纸醉金迷里，水花都不曾溅起；内森居然是多兰演的！看演员表才发现，卷发单薄帅哥都免不了发腮嘛难道，多兰你之前可是比本片男主帅的多啊。
过气演员大联欢。也许19世纪的东西真的不适合21世纪了。我们看巴尔扎克，就像剧里的人拿脏水泼的拉辛一样陈腐。想起老王说19世纪，the nineteenth century dislike of Realism is the rage of Caliban seeing his own face in a glass; the nineteenth century dislike of Romanticism is the rage of Caliban not seeing his own face in a glass.
三星半。原著有两个人物，两个故事，电影只拍了吕西安这个。
220721 住院期间第一部电影。没有看过原著，拍出来的剧情比《红与黑》要吸引人。惊讶于当时贵族的阅读量，原来人真的可以看这么多份报纸。。。。
一星给旁白，帮助了解剧情。男主性格不好情商不行，结局在意料之中。
没有想象的这么好，节奏太慢了，2个半小时，最后我加速看的，讽刺的现象都是普遍存在的，一直存在的，毕竟是著作，当时这种事情可能还值得抨击，放在现在真是见怪不怪了。
#听说电影获得凯撒奖就去看一眼结果是我天真了
爱情，爱情，该死的爱情。
笔锋与爱，两种力量的较量。却输给了政治家！
前些天还很烦现在的媒体让人与真实世界的联系都割裂了，但看完幻灭突然与这种想法和解了，毕竟烂了几百年了，该说谢谢巴尔扎克😘
无论是遥远的复辟王朝还是当下的新世纪
十分强大的剧本蓝本。
8.2
我想到了所有那些在觉醒之后，必须找到内在力量的人……巴尔扎克
看着看着总能让人想起红与黑里的于连…感觉同样的时期，同样让人感到可悲的命运，名著就是名著，看看如今的世道，和那个曾经的法国，有什么区别呢？一毛一样，混圈子，对命运不公而产生的嫉妒，最后走向毁灭，但那个圈子你进去了么？你根本就进不去…从古至今，什么样的命运就该是什么样的命运，而且获得成功而被蒙蔽的双眼，一直都在被蒙蔽…为什么现在连那些最辩证的唯物主义者们都说，要相信命运，事实就是如此！别做那些自己承受不起的行为，因为你我皆是这世道的一个小丑…
封闭管控 单位 明天的可能 第30天 幻灭 到来 觉醒 永恒
画面美，精致，演员很有特色。就听懂一半吧，好歹大概看懂了。Louise和Coralie对Lucien的爱情都很纯粹，但他还是悲剧了。没太懂为啥他要坚持冠母亲的姓，可能我漏听了关键信息，有缘会找原著来看。
可能是因为优点所在的穿越时代的故事和金句来自巴尔扎克的原著，原本也是因为想偷懒不看原著来看看电影，后来查了一下发现差得挺多的
又一个类似于连的小镇青年来到巴黎闯荡，找情妇，找工作，忙到最后又如何。。从前不可能的，如今一一成为可能：银行家从政了，平民也可以发达了。。。天真+虚荣，害人又害己……
