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!

很大气，自己看不明白，只能去看别人的讲解。
服化道可以看出类型片模版的范式，妆造、场景布置及灯光充满考究、极尽奢华豪华，是回到“原汁原味的中世纪”的还原主义倾向，或者对一种“神性”的回归。但是比如1:32:51那里女人摇曳的耳环，它甚至盖过了女人雕琢般立体的面部风姿，吸引目光的注意；这个耳环就（对我来说很明显）是现代工业的产品，它的金色包边是金色的而不是黄金做的。还有多个高文眼睛的近距离特写镜头，他的眼睫毛是做过卷烫过的。围绕着人的物品作为非神性或者（大工业时代以来）无神论的提词器，可以反推神的神性或者中世纪的中世纪性也是由组成场景的物品彰显或担保的，而人也在通过将自己身体的具体的部分物化的同时认同拜物教对信仰（神）的僭越，人通过货币交换行为获取自身之改造的同时，也把“非神”的或“没有神”刻入进被改造的那个部分。成果作为见证。
服化道可以。但是讲成了一个终其一生不上道的妈宝男故事……
这个看不懂不知道是我没了解相关知识，还是编剧就是如此讲故事。
景观画面音乐氛围都很好，但故事过于冗长晦涩
Visually extremely pleasing, but content wise not so convincing. Dev Patel is hot though.
7/10。一开始还不太能理解——古装片能拍成这样吗？结果越看越能看进去，还觉得挺diao——传说不就得这么拍吗？！
画面极美，摄影和艺术指导差不多都到天花板了，但叙事对普通观众实在太不友好。无论对原版的高汶与绿骑士的传说是否熟悉，这部电影看起来都是一样的迷惑和疲惫。台词讲得慢，角色动作慢，明明90分钟就足够讲完的故事被拉长到了130分钟，注意力跟着镜头迷失在美轮美奂的森林里。如此古老的文学梗，不加解释和铺垫就直接搬上银幕，真的不行。表演也奇怪，感觉大家各演各的，和整体特别不搭。尤其是坎妹，她真的不适合古装，而且，好久不见，怎么台词发声都不对劲了？
讲的是一个废材无用的大官子弟走上一条母亲为他铺好的升官发财之路。
它不开玩笑 它也不潜心密谋
David Lowery这导演可以直接cancel了，我看还有一部《老人与枪》，也就算了吧
高文爵士在死的前一刻才配成为真正的骑士，这部电影重新拷问了我何为人生的价值。
摄影、美术不错，故事太幼稚了吧，无聊的骑士成长记
4am看到6am，中途与Gawain一起睡梦致幻了
(6.5/10). 和Ghost Story一样，是关于时间和死亡的引导冥想，但不如Ghost Story来的更有诗意。镜头和光影都美轮美奂，但故事是我比较不喜欢的那种寓言故事，就像第七封印，没看懂就一头雾水，看懂了又流于说教。中间的环绕镜头，主角变成一堆枯骨是神来之笔，像是一次不净观冥想，然后镜头慢慢环绕回去，影片仁慈的给了第二次机会，也预示了结尾的处理方式。中间夜宿凶宅帮小姐姐找头的一段，颇有聊斋志异的神韵。结尾让人久久不愿离开，但过程多有煎熬拉低了印象分。总之就是一个存在主义视角的故事，绿衣骑士象征所有人避无可避的终极命运，未知死焉知生，直面死亡恐惧才能更好的生活blah blah，像是欧文亚隆的直视骄阳。这类影片的问题是，它提了一个类似于绝症的终极问题，影片本身却远远算不上一剂猛药。
David Lowery这导演可以直接cancel了，我看还有一部《老人与枪》，也就算了吧

像骑士的忠贞，不畏惧邪恶的眼神
人这一生，懦弱的原因太多，勇敢的理由太少。光影极美，配乐迷人
