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!
前半部分有点无聊，后半部分还行，总的其实还可以，不至于6分都上不了吧？究竟是老人变坏了，还是坏人变老了？其实我觉得两者都有，从心理上来说，在中下阶层，有的人老了真的会不再像年轻时去考虑什么道德、社会舆论之类的，从而做出一些离谱的事情。是的，我这么说，我自己也会老。人生的意义就是为了走向衰亡吗？
因为杀人狂是老人的缘故吗？节奏是一种诡异的慢。血腥场面非常乏味，反倒是白天的几个日常画面挺好看，模仿古早欧洲文艺片情调。导演估计想另辟蹊径来着，题材也挺深刻，就是老人的岁数太大了，走路都打颤的身子骨就算还有性欲，也绝对没体力杀那么多人。总体不好看。
在剪辑和情节设计上未免太复古了，完美复刻b级恐怖片（单纯说剥削似乎也不是）和学生惊悚片作业中劣质与呆笨的特色，美学上来说拍得还不如《刺心》。对老年性欲及野心的纳入当然很亮眼，但考虑到被这部电影底色决定的猎奇化表现方式，你就很难说它真的亮眼，真能找到价值的路径只有被宗教与文化元素包裹起来的phycho——所以说真的非常复古。
血腥恐怖还有点恶搞，变态变老了，老了才变态，老头子心脏的确有问题，刚运动完被吓死，老太太人老心不老，坚持到车轮超度。
A24还是专心卖预告片吧，成品和预告完全是两部电影，正片既不porn也不horror，空洞且傲慢
X是爱的注脚、是女性符号、是对隐晦的代称、是无限和未知的笔画。这是一部特殊的恐怖片，虐杀的视觉效果，腐朽的皮肉体验，崩坏的精神世界，在躁动与死寂中不断切换的隔绝空间。电视圣经的长袍下长满了现实的虱子，沟壑纵横的容颜里安葬着致命的美貌，性感女郎在吉他边依偎着文艺的曲调，三流摄影让惊魂记蒙上高贵的阴影，冷漠的远景是上帝睥睨，焦灼的特写是魔鬼发酵。录像带、死亡与爱，都是无处告解的情怀。而你并不特别，是年轻才显得特别。
年轻的肉体真的没办法拒绝 老太太聊发少年狂。
之前期待太高了 剧情一般 有些镜头和配乐还不错 有些一惊一乍的声音真的有点过于大了 俩老变态死的时候有点好笑
A24标准元素：动物/肉体/欲望/爆炸的身体。尝试把惊悚和情欲融为一体，同时将衰老和宗教作为不断萦绕的恐惧。衰老和妒忌被导向了杀人和毁灭的欲望，这套逻辑非常恐怖片
拍小黄片还挺有意思的。两个反派的死法也是前无古人后无来者了恐怕
thriller的画面过于刺激 拍床戏清新特俗看笑了我 中间插的两段音乐 简直是神来之笔 弹吉他围在一起聊天说当有摄像机开启时就不算出轨 镜头以外的床戏只属于老年人
X，X这部电影也太X了吧，好多XX的场景，看得人想XX…（X部分请自行脑补）
A24太想在主题和视觉上作出与Midsommar齐平的恐怖片了，X其实在很大程度上继承了那种无意识的残忍与快乐至死的心理设计。很多快闪式的intercutting很有意思，对于老年，欲望，压抑的阐释也很有洞见。70-80年代的影像卡带的视觉效果和对新浪潮以及The Shining, Psycho之类经典的致敬也可圈可点。
剥削恐怖，vintage拍摄，细节恶趣。女主选得真不错，长得so damn1970s，跟昆汀Grindhouse“death proof”里的butterfly有异曲同工之妙。遗憾的是血暴感太弱。
故事背景设定为1979年，而这影片的内容，风格，节奏也出奇的1979，完全没有现代影子，从里到外都极其复古。另，《黛比办了达拉斯》在70年代居然有如此大的影响力？
影迷与影视工作从业者的娱乐片？多处匹配剪辑 镜面分屏 跳切拉紧不同空间与人物 框架构图 运镜 用得不错 小而精 结尾笑出声 中间有段乏力了 三星半
很不错的恐怖电影，老年人的描写，衰老肉体恐惧，情色价值观表述，甚至是老太太翩翩起舞，或许观众太期待升华，到底这么重笔墨描写一个老太太有何用意？最后反而走回了欧美恐怖片大杀特杀的套路作结尾，导致风评不佳吧
前半截色情片，后半截恐怖片——不惊悚只惊吓。老年人青春不在心不甘比较特别
A24出品，血浆片爱好者怪才导演缇·威斯特执导，《X》融合了个性与反叛，角色在与刻板印象对抗的同时，又迫不得已接受了身处恐怖片的命运，这便是那个时代下追逐美国梦的夸张描绘。
许久不见的坦荡剥削片，穿梭于无数70年代references之间（最主要的是霍珀在这段时期拍摄的《德州电锯杀人狂》与《活活生吞》），致力于在可预知的情节框架中制造出人意料的惊奇时刻，剧本、剪辑的节奏也都还是原汁原味的缇·威斯特。旗帜鲜明地反对A24 elevated horror那套arthouse cliché，透着一股点到为止的幽默、悲情和自恋。
