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.
妈妈和大爷大妈演的都挺自然！男猪脚有点儿夸张，用力过猛。故事也有点儿太刻意，为了表达而去设计一些桥段，但是一看就太刻意了，好好的简单讲故事不好吗？不知道上班的时候是不是住在一起，回老家了要不要这么猴急啊？！老妈不会普通话，儿子在旁边看着女朋友听不懂出丑？如果直接把男女主演去掉或者改成配角，妈妈奶奶和家里人的生活看着挺有意思的。。。
故事剧情不复杂
故事还蛮惊喜的，潮汕地域文化特性，两代人之间的观念碰撞，拍出了纪录片般的粗粝质感，自然又散漫（缺点就是咋看都不像电影，深圳部分也过于网大），喜欢妈妈这个角色。
年轻人经过九年义务教育以及大城市教育后，回到村里的处处不兼容。这种尬滋味一言难尽
这种语言不通带来的隔阂还真有点让我想到李安的电影，非常特色的潮汕文化，还挺真实的。
朴实。瑕不掩瑜。
整个故事的灵魂人物还是妈妈啦，妈妈的演技弥补了很多电影技术上的不足，故事变得更朴实。女主虽然长得比不上明星，但也是挺耐看的，那么问题来了，长得漂亮高学历经济独立事业有成的女孩，活脱脱一现代女性模版，为什么能看得上这样的传统家庭..
故事很接地气，完成度也很高，主题围绕传统文化和新时代爱情观，其间穿插着很多轻松的小幽默，从头到尾给人一种很真诚、很舒服的感觉，尤其几首潮汕歌很有当地风格。缺点是影片最后的转折略显生硬。还有就是看完暗下决心以后也要带妈妈坐一次飞机。
一直称呼女主“外省”太不尊重人了吧，人家没名字吗，受不了
带着离过婚的女朋友回家见家长的故事
很潮汕的电影，把风俗人情都拍出来了。炒麻叶，拜神，拉拉扯扯的送礼，算命，有些人重男轻女，在深圳做生意，潮剧，做桃粿，排斥外省媳妇，非常贴合潮汕人的生活。
简直了，纪录片吧？咋都那么真实！本土创作也可以很优秀的啊！深圳汕头都太真实了，最搞笑的是小舅子，哈哈
"欢迎潮汕话加入2022乡村爱情故事电影大赛"...某种程度上算在深潮汕人特供片吧...各种南山镜头...回家房间那段王家卫差点要叫律师了...机场飞机在车窗倒影也很有技巧..."仿佛看到了中国电影的希望"...
如果全部是群众演员的话，演技确实比专业演员好一点
结果意外发现很好看耶 温情 烟火气 台词很有趣 有笑点有泪点 那个戴眼镜介绍对象的邻居阿嫲好逗啊哈哈哈
真实还原了外地人在潮汕人家饭桌上的场景，一句话也听不懂却莫名的感觉温暖。
咿咿呀呀的潮汕话
虽然男女主毫无co感。但是南方真好。带入一下静珊离开的心情感觉都要爆哭。很平凡的电影，细节很好，妈妈很真实。就是最后的剧情有点别扭。
带着非潮汕人进电影院，方言梗还是得再翻译一遍，并不像字幕那样描述，男宝宝直接翻译成宝宝，试图拆解一些固有标签，但没办法生活里还是这样的。熟悉乡音，流连场景，海啊戏台啊骑楼啊恰到好处，镜头抽出来是潮汕的宣传PPT，亲切且到位。妈妈作为女主，独当一面，撑起了上一代流传下来的“规则”“秩序”，在相对封闭的乡下，她尝试阻止外省人嫁进家里，强调婚嫁后名声依旧，没有给家里丢脸，强调不让别人说闲话，这种维护是封建和环境塑造的，无关对错，但是面对新的力量冲击，舅公的外国女儿，普通话的二婚媳妇，她尝试和解，但是顽石只能慢慢击破，最后的转折似乎很快，看到礼物，合照以及电视台采访的妥协没有太强说服力，这点稍有欠缺。在媳妇努力学习潮汕文化中一味讨好让人反思，女性困局不断上演，婚姻本不需要这样，分手就显得莫名其妙了。
扑面而来的质朴和真实感，一下子梦回在潮汕生活的日子。
