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.
天才导演 还是艾格斯一以贯之的作者表达。有毒男性气质的由来，是因为毒蘑菇一般的神秘仪式的代代传承，导演把它藏在民俗宗教和神话故事的壳子里，藏好，藏好。
三星半。摄影上的中心构图、特写对切，低照度的打光带来的古典主义风格，艾格斯在美学上是花了心思的，更不用说还有他擅长的民俗元素，尽可能的在文化细节上还原古代的北欧，单从影像风格来看，这个充满神秘主义的北欧比科恩改编的苹果式审美的室内苏格兰强太多了。然而如果没有自己独特的理解就拿莎翁的原始文本去套模版，最后只会变得无趣乏味，我也相信艾格斯在制片商掣肘之下，影片离他最初的设想已经越来越远，最终变成美学和文本极其分裂的作品。对比之下，不得不说A24真是个好公司。
51/100。对命运的探讨很浅，人物形象刻画也很单一。影片节奏也不是很好，动作戏并不出彩，宗教戏份占比太大。看之前期待值挺高的，所以挺失望的。
老掉牙的俗套故事墨迹了俩小时，但是视觉效果值得加分。空中抓长矛扔回去让我想起育碧游戏引发生理不适。
但关于文本的挖掘
漫威史上最好的起源电影
脸谱化的人物，冗长无聊的台词，沉闷没有转折的剧情，复仇故事就真的只能拍成哈姆雷特那样的吗？
推荐所有人去看尚气！作为爆米花电影，故事把西方个人价值和东方文化气韵结合的非常顺畅！特效镜头制作精良，且中有我认为影史最美的XX！而且实话实说，这样的电影被好莱坞先拍出来，作为中国电影人是有点惭愧的。
北欧人版的王子复仇记，画风和摄影满分，但是影片过于注重形式，而忽略了故事本身的内核，不仅缺乏反派角色的刻画，也缺乏王子内心的成长和挣扎。
I guess this is what peak testosterone looks like...killing people and fucking women. The casting is exceptional, though it inevitably feeds into racism (as it probably was back in 600AD: the bastard is black-haired, everyone else blonde. Desirable women and bearers of kings can also look like Björk, no?
我还以为编剧能把威廉·莎士比亚加上呢，有这配置，拍个原创故事他不香么
对哈姆莱特的铁血改编，原始、野蛮、兽性十足，安雅艳压妮可，青春无敌。
怪异的仪式感百看不腻，可安雅再美，调度再绝也没能拯救故事毫无张力的俗套。
熊与狼的力量在体内翻涌，总有神明指引着复仇之路。国王想要死在战场却躲不过弟弟的冷箭，神剑想要嗜血吞心在火山口斩草除根夺回属于自己的一切。从迷到信，哪有什么神明，不过是你在乎的东西支配着灵魂，让信念支撑着维京血脉。
罗伯特艾格斯水准大失，通篇特别重的游戏CG质感，甚至缺乏《绿衣骑士》那样精彩的调度。
本片过于追求影像风格化而角色刻画和叙事一团糟，前一个半小时看得我昏昏入睡，直到90分钟后生母揭示真相，剧情才算渐入佳境，我才打起精神来。在前一个半小时的剧情中，就是照搬莎士比亚“哈姆雷特”的故事，如果没有90分钟后的反转来挽救影片，本片的豆瓣评分连6.6都到不了，看完全片才明白实质要讲述的是一个家族相残的复仇故事。
声效很强，剧情不评论。总体乏味，既然改就改的彻底一些么。
在LA环球影城IMAX看的首映，出乎意料全片一半对白标准普通话，诚意是真的做足了。梁朝伟第一次好莱坞大制作，还是演了一个为爱所困的苦命人
血腥王子复仇记，几段巫师游戏的音乐听得我真想来说：刀先放下，来盘昆特牌吧
i like it，毕竟看到了碧玉的短暂出场。王子复仇+俄狄浦斯+女巫+仲夏夜惊魂的混杂体验，诡谲而疯狂的北欧传说为整个故事镀上一层神秘色彩。不过E大怎么呆呆的？
