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!
那段“感谢你出生”很喜欢，tracy chapman说，一个歌手一生唱的都是同一首歌。是枝裕和一辈子的也是同一部电影吧
韩里韩气的仿佛在看韩剧，没有电影质感，一点都不是指裕和………很平庸
可以用失望来形容电影，狗血的韩剧剧情，是枝裕和在韩影的商业氛围里失去了自己细腻的特质，人与人之间情感交流在电影中荡然无存。
一场事先张扬的谋杀案与一段自我救赎的公路之旅。
情感丰富、意味深远 浮光掠影中捕捉到了生命、家庭以及生存的意义
摩天轮上两两互映，遗弃者与被遗弃者在小小的四方箱内情感尽现。安静的步入高潮，然后悄然回落。温情到浪漫与飘渺的现实，自然很难被接受。我们需要克制和面对的是什么？
“谁也不想要，但还是出生了。应该在生下之前就要打掉。”“最终还是丢掉了。”
从寄生虫到掮客，一部最佳影片一部戛纳影帝，宋康昊真是稳坐韩国国宝级演员的宝座。就本片而言，是枝裕和并没给观众带来太大的惊喜，倒也值得一看【三星半】
是枝裕和还是是枝裕和，但韩国不是日本，所以有点奇怪。宋康昊演每一个平凡的人物都有好强的感染力，在他对比之下其他演员的演技好像都平平了
IU本应是最有戏的角色，但还是略平淡了些。很多场景都很日式风味。
作為是枝的電影應該是後段那檔。依然是細膩的，演員們也恰如其分，包括電影新秀的李知恩。宋康昊演這角色可說是信手捻來了吧。但整體有如一個童話繪本，用過度溫情的畫筆掩蓋了現實斑駁的底色...剛好最近美國墮胎權議題沸騰，這部片看著也是有點尷尬，我想，他大概是太理想主義了吧...謝謝你的出生，但沒有羽星幸運的那些被拋棄的孩子願意經歷這些嗎?
有人性的人贩子，为了甄别不是二道贩子，大下功夫，最后混组家庭有了感情，就有点扯了。
两星半。人物关系的骨架和《小偷家族》如出一辙，叙事节奏同样相当舒缓，但效果却大打折扣。究其原因，倒不是换了韩国的表达语境，而是是枝裕和擅长的细节中寻求变奏，在剧本层面更多只是展示问题，并没有太多情和理的细腻探索。渐渐地，舒缓沦为了失焦。动人之处依旧存在，却很是松散。裴斗娜和宋康昊对于表演的控制，相较他人明显高出一个段位，尤其在电影节语境中，宋康昊角色的人物设定对于评委来说，是很有记忆点的。
感受到了导演对老姜的爱。
慢节奏电影又有点像文艺片，不太符合我的口味，也许是枝裕和失手了。
是枝裕和的“命题作文”。我喜欢是枝裕和的是，人性是底色而不是谜底。而这部并不是。
视听没有什么出彩的点，中规中矩，但是故事和表演都很棒，触及到心灵和感情，而且有一定的悬念不至于无聊，每个角色都塑造的既温情又立体，我个人是觉得不错。
七分
失真的温暖不是真正的温暖，比起《小偷家族》是真逊色，整部电影只有摩天轮交心一场触动我的戏，然而这与火爆偶像IU的表演毫无关系，延展说宋康昊影帝拿得也很虚，裴斗娜更是毫无发挥。是枝裕和在舒适圈内游刃有余，单场景固定机位到镜头调度依然能细腻阐述人物关系与情感变化，但首次执导韩语片仍是噱头为先，一没改变，二无亮点，清汤寡水的行活作业，就有些让人失望了吧？
依然是是枝裕和那种平淡温情的故事表达，但没有了以往作品中静水流深的感觉，我个人觉得他还是有点水土不服（韩国人真的会在车里吃关东煮吗）（以及拍韩国就不要再用靛蓝色滤镜乐……），所幸演员的表演都很一流，李知恩的角色最难表现，稍逊一筹，但也及格了。童话式的故事在现在这个悲哀的时代看来也别有一番安慰。最喜欢宋康昊和李知恩在列车上那段对话的明暗处理，越过山丘的、飞驰而过的、忽明忽暗的，都是人心。
