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!
很多大远景，展现了皇家气派和压抑。镜头总体上以静制动，大部分要不是固定镜头，要不是平缓的拉推。和童年的场域连通的那段环绕镜头在全片特立独行，正如黛安娜在皇家的如坐针毡，然后是一些漂亮的蒙太奇拼接，于是高潮诞生。色彩是一种反抗手段，黛安娜服装的颜色总是与周围格格不入，从服从到尝试反抗到觉醒，颜色从翠绿到薄荷绿到大红，从不协调到对比色，在欢快的色彩中她终于找重新寻到了真我。
首先要明确的是缩脖子含胸驼背并不是表达痛苦迷茫无所适从的最好和唯一方式。奇怪的咬字和重音，用气声并改变说话节奏，都是非常表面的演绎神经质的方法。漂亮的衣橱，香奈儿秀场，一生都与皇室格格不入，黛安娜个人的悲剧，没有任何跳出主流视角的故事。导演的品味高级，摄影精美绝伦，配乐渲染情绪，这三点三颗星。
5分，电影想表达的我都懂。
她只是内心渴望爱的小女人。却成为困在笼中的金丝雀。海报真美啊
综上外因，故事在窒息后的释放和终究未能到来的“未来”才显得格外宣泄与感伤，热衷于的表达风格和对味的影像品味，私心推崇的作品。
Depressing and beautiful. I think Pablo Larraín is better with character-centric films that involve much more dynamism, like Ema. There's some parallel, of course, in his treatment of these two female characters' range of emotional experiences, but this one feels flat. The release at the end feels satisfying, despite its smallness.
3.5 Maggie回来之后就垮了，depicts her temporary liberation at the expense of being cheesy 前半部分好
小k的演技很好啊，略微有些神经质的女人，只是结尾或许理想主义了，感觉没有压住。
不论历史如何，影片的切点真的很好啊。说是套层也好，counterpart也好，极其工整地假借历史展开叙述。以出轨为引子引出性别置换的特殊语境，相当自然的女性主义。尽管稍后的对戴安娜对普通人生活的向往、以及当一个普通母亲的愿望的渲染实则有些无视王室的无奈，但还是包裹住了一层对僵化制度的反讽。
导演是查尔斯找过来的吧？我看他的确想做实“黛安娜是个疯子”的观点。
还挺特别，仿库布里克式的视听风格，力在表现情绪和氛围，压抑与焦虑，不是人物传记，而是借原型重塑一个人物，但终究还是太浮太空，并未能深入人物内心，K姐这回演的真的很努力啊，但是吧......
救命！！这部电影最好看的地方就是那张海报了吧！虽然说不应该这么对比，但是真的我怎么又看了一遍第一炉香。。。（看到短评里有提到这两部的选角:) 还有一个短评里提到的“讨好又疏离，用力又随意”，怎么这么会形容！可能就真期待越大失望越大吧，不期待可能会觉得还行，期待了就觉得好难看，再也不期待了
四不像电影 对话听得也特别难受 不光是表演的原因 也是台词的过于重复和琐碎 导演想做一种风格却很难贯彻 但总体还是剧本问题 到底想表达什么？三天descent into madness?那不如像lighthouse那样拍；还是人物最终做出选择的过程？那请把过程讲的更清楚；只是心理描写？可你又脱不开周边的人和事；文艺片？这是人物传记，导演还能大于主人公不成？
虚幻与现实交织就如裙子上的外套一样，唯一让人醒目的是夹克和伤口的血红色；除了男权对女性的压迫，很多的是否是灵魂在时空牢笼中的困境。摄影师这次真的开大了，甚至有点找到打开马利克的方法了
查尔斯说：你要学会有两个你，真实的你和有人设的你。
斯图尔特女士的脖子短了点，加上她肩膀宽，就导致肩膀总是高耸着的错觉…… 奔向自由？没那么伟大，只是锦衣玉食的日子过惯了，偶尔需要换一下口味，喘口气和调剂一下，皇室并不是监狱。小K演的很努力，但个人气质太过明显，概过了演技，仍让她看上去像不羁个性少女的叛逃，而不是一位有着贵族血统的王妃。
我想要離開這個地方，但是我不知道怎麼做才好，她做到了我一直不敢做的，在眾人面前發瘋，她的崩潰是我所沒有的勇氣。憂鬱的時候看了會更加憂鬱的電影。
小k相对她自己是巨大的进步，然而整一个还是在拍chanel宣传片的感觉；倒是全片推进和闪灵片段意外的不错，可惜k女士没有演出来
为大银幕而生，年度最唯美的传记片亦不为过。碎落一地的珍珠项链，荒野上孤独的稻草人，自残与被迫遮蔽的窗帘，腐国皇室枪口下苟且偷生的雉鸡，被礼法禁锢的自由灵魂……第一部从lesbian角度以管窥豹，跟从戴妃步入她苦不堪言无比绝望的精神密室，“不在沉默中爆发就在沉默中灭亡”，压抑到极点的基调却糅杂着创作者无限的理解与共情——别看她通身珠光宝气地位显赫，究其一生最想要的也不过是平凡人的普通生活，结尾那首欢快之歌，歌词唱着“All I need is miracle”当她面对镜头报出“Spencer”而不是“Diana”那一刻，分明是困顿灵魂在呐喊与复苏吧？小K演技全面爆发，神还原了戴妃反叛与忧郁并存的精神气质，即使今年Oscar无法帮她封后，她也已经用绝对实力狠狠反击了那些轻视称她为“花瓶”的人。
我的王妃，何苦为难我们这些不能违背誓言辛苦的社畜打工人呢。
