Set in a small Quebec town in the late-1920′s, this emotional drama follows the life and exploits of Celeste Beaumont, a talented young pianist who gains local celebrity at the town movie theater for her gifts as a silent film pianist. Awkward Pierre Blaudell is her biggest fan and eventually marries her. Shortly after this she bears his son, Pierre, who joins the army. She insists on joining him at the base and his meddlesome, snooty parents insist she give them her son. Pierre is killed in the war, and Celeste flees to New York where she finds steady employment as a jazz pianist. She finds a life-long companion with a black musician and chronicles her experiences in a diary that she passes on to her son after he grows up. Her son becomes a painter and once his own son, Antoine, is grown, reads him the story of Celeste, the youth’s grandmother. Intrigued, Antoine heads to the Big Apple in hopes of finding her.
This movie is an emotional drama about how Antoine, played beautifully by François Méthé, discovers the details of his heritage. This film won many awards in Canada and at Cannes in 1988. François Méthé, who was about 11-years-old, never acted again after this movie.
From IMDb:
A quiet painter, separated from his wife for a year, receives a suitcase in the mail from his mother, whom he hasn’t seen since infancy. He believes she abandoned him to his wealthy, paternal grandparents. The suitcase contains mementos and a diary, a long letter to him, written over the years, with details of her youth, her first job as a pianist at a cinema, the coming of talkies, her marriage, and how he came to live with his grandparents. As he reads through the materials and her story comes to life, his son Antoine, who’s about 10 or 12, tries to break through his father’s silence and sorrow by taking matters into his own hands.
平平淡淡的，反正也还好，类似于《真爱至上》
我好像对这种拼盘故事很有好感，所以只要不是逻辑有硬伤我都还比较喜欢。尤其是里面的每个人都开开心心的，不管是年轻时没能在一起遗憾多年的情侣，还是苦苦暗恋多年没等表白就错过的朋友，都是即便遗憾也没有苦大仇深的，即便是抑郁要跳楼的人也都可可爱爱，我很喜欢这种精气神。虽然现实中很难做到，但在电影里看到也还是觉得开心的。
平遥首映 两星半 主线混乱 人物塑造也不够成熟 加油吧
整部电影来说，很生活化的场景，也是普通人最真实的生活。太原方言特别亲切，在家爸妈说太原话，孩子说普通话，也符合我们这个年龄段最真实的写照。
明星很多，低配版的真爱至上，很梦幻，适合假日这种本来就需要高糖分的时候看，逻辑啥的都是其次的。
太普通了吧也，而且不是已经弄了个很普通的新年前夜了吗，怎么还来啊？！
宾馆设定很像之前很早时候十一二岁时候看的一个会记得客户生日和之前习惯的新加坡宾馆
评分 -100分！全片镜头单一，有没有打灯都怀疑，就像个单人单干拍出来的视频一样的…剧情即便涉及老年痴呆症题材，也是白开水的推进…。这位导演，下次也请你别拍戏了吧
偶像剧路子，套路多过新意。跟《有顶天酒店》不好比。南朝鲜言情片痼疾，每次稍微碰到点人心，马上帅哥美女比颗心，假的比真的强，真心不招人待见。
公园里的长镜头很棒。
应景 姜河那好好笑 李东旭元真儿那对完全没必要出现 妈妈和初恋的爱情才是浪漫 总觉得这里面的场景好熟悉 寄生虫的卫生间 机医的地下室 杀手的盆栽 还有你的婚礼的金英光 酒店之王的李东旭 明星伙伴的徐康俊和李光洙……确实都好套路
很复杂。单纯从剧情看，为了塑造女主面对父亲痴呆带来生活的变化添加了许多复杂的元素导致全片出现了许多非常尴尬的镜头；但是撇除这些，亲情、老一辈互相的陪伴与拉扯都让我哭得稀里哗啦。
2022，新年快乐呀。看完想恋爱了。PS：李东旭也太帅了吧。再PS：这雪也太假了吧。
很传统的贺岁电影，适合闲了没事干1.5倍速看。颜值🉑️
实在难以抗拒这种文艺暴力电影，一开场的vovo被孩子群殴就讲清楚了“为什么要这样生活。”vovo根本没有选择——如果说自己跳进坟墓也是一种选择的话，生活在那个地区的所有人们都应该在还没长高的小人类时期就被一颗子弹击穿脑袋。吐槽一下翻译，实在狗屁不通。要不是8分多钟的伪长镜头吸引了我，实在是受不了这翻译的字幕的。最终“悔过”的行为实在太艺术了。让人想起本命年。这样的成长故事线才是最正宗的Character driven。剧本很好，可以拉片。
开场10分钟非常惊艳，也想试试排出这样一镜到底的短视频～故事内核简单，一个黑帮父亲，在失去妻女后自我救赎的故事。看惯了棒子的黑帮，这种单纯的暴力更贴近真实熊一般强壮的男人，本身就有威胁感～自我对话的设计也不错，7分
又一年了，新年快乐！
看完的半个小时里 想想还是能获取颤抖 虽然拼凑感痕迹重了些 但还是决定用感性继续被感动

有时候童话很美好，但现实很残酷。
