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!

1952年，在一个叫做费伊洛的庄园发生了一起命案，死者包括一对来自英国的德鲁蒙夫妇和他们的小女儿伊丽莎白。费伊洛庄园属于一个叫做多米尼西·卡斯通的老头，卡斯通脾气古怪，对子女很严厉，尤其与大儿子克洛维斯关系十分紧张。由于这场命案发生在费伊洛庄园，很快刚愎自用的塞毕耶尔警长就怀疑上了卡斯通，认定这个古怪的老头就是命案的凶手。但从巴黎来的记者卢卡斯却不这样认为，他坚信此事与国际间谍组织有关，这一猜想引起了其他人的嘲笑。
很快，案情也有了新的进展。警察们在铁路工人马耶家发现了很多二战遗留下来的武器。马耶百口莫辩，无奈之下只得说出自己对谋杀案的了解。并道出多米尼西的小儿子克斯塔夫曾看见小女孩伊丽莎白弥留之际。这件事在小镇引起轩然大波，克斯塔夫不断受到外界指责，并被关押起来。禁受不住牢狱折磨的克斯塔夫在哥哥克洛维斯的劝说下，一起指认父亲才是真正的杀人凶手。为了保护儿子，老头卡斯通认下了所有的罪状，并天真的以为，只要随便编造一个自己杀人过程的故事，警察就可以放他回家。
卡斯通被抓进监狱，这个时候他才意识到事情的严重性，但为时已晚。赛毕耶尔警长因为此事被授予奖章，还被提升为警察局长。但记者卢卡斯却始终不相信这一切，并努力地寻找新的证据。在法庭上，虽然小儿子放弃了对父亲的指证，但大儿子因为仇恨却一直坚持指认父亲是凶手。卡斯通心如死灰，最后法庭判卡斯通以死刑。卢卡斯为卡斯通四处奔走，最终得知，卡斯通不过是国家利益的牺牲品，但确凿的证据早已被销毁了。
