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!
“水无形而有形,无物而容万物”——水作为传统的女性性别符号，尤其是东方女性，象征着协调、温润、灵动、没有棱角、却充满着韧性和力量、也从不停歇。在这部电影里，无论是影像风格、内容、主角性格都体现着这一点。
在不朽诗篇里与时同长
有人天生创作语言的美好，挺好。
每个人其实都在路上，只不过如果走累了，有人有心之所归之处，有人则没有……宁愿用万能胶重新粘起破掉的碟子也不愿丢弃，宁愿跟妹妹借钱也要用两千多块去修好只剩下五千元价值的房车，割舍不了的是她心里一个她与深爱的亡夫住了大半辈子而终将在经济体系下被淘汰遗忘的地方。割舍留在家乡仓库里的东西，也许是断舍离的开始，她会一直在路上直到她心伤口得以愈合，直到重新有了心之所归之地，抑或是再也没有力气继续在路上……
女人公路片。so natural and wild
时代之殇，人如何和丧失共处？
从为了缅怀上路到想上路 从朋友领着到自己为新年点小烟花 见过临近终点 见过可能的停留处 然后从最初的家里再出发 压低的地平线和山脊的太阳 水里的身体 姐妹二人一个走向房子一个沿路走出画右
心里有爱人，心里有家人，自己住在自己心房里，身处何地都可安定。
总有一个在路上
正如片中的游牧群体，忙忙碌碌一生，没能够安享晚年，回归常态也不见得是天伦之“乐”。《无依之地》被赋予了我们常说的诗意。弗恩并非无家可归，而是心无所属，其意义在于与人生伴侣的连接，带着牵挂，看淡。★★★★/8.6/*2
不是传统的homeless的故事，更多的是自我选择的放逐
你我互相模糊，互相看不清楚，光秃秃的世界犹如荒凉幻境，鬼魅和人性只是一瞬的过往，寂灭早已扎根在我们灵魂最开始的那一刻
期待看到“不得不上路”的部分多一些从而引发一些批判，但看到的似乎多是他们主动选择了这种生活方式？太浪漫化了吧~
独立女性的公路片。天人合一。远离人群，却又无法脱离。
同时又得多柔软的心 就因一个人做到这份坚强
偶然摧折或自然地老去
lovebifan：让我想起《猜火车》里的那段经典台词，生活中就是有人不想买他妈的大电视，而选择不停地在路上，看群山，看飞鸟，looking ahead, to the day you die.
孤独是人生的底色。仍然憧憬那种长途又长时的公路旅行，尽管我知道现在的自己还不够勇敢。
福恩是跟谁较劲啊？她自己吧…她最终还是回去了一趟，然后，又上路了。赵婷的第三部作品（前两部并没看过），这宋丹丹闺女说总是拍这种特贴近生活的故事。老无所依，无房所依，将以何种心态，何种方式，面对死亡？当福恩最后一站面对的，不就是这个冷酷、如山崖海边澎湃的世界吗。9分。
献给不得不上路的人，脑子里是John Ford，属于这个世纪的“愤怒的葡萄”，虽然“愤怒”几乎消失。
