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.
现代艺术都还没搞明白的人，给你展示未来艺术。你觉得扯不扯？
看一半睡着了 身体改造+颅内高潮爱好者狂喜
开膛破肚柯南伯格。血腥暴力尺度过大。
Surgery is the new sex。无聊到堆砌各种名词解释了，全都是正确的废话。不喜欢。
大脑体会到的概念，比呈现出的影像好太多，直白一些就是拍得烂，实验了但离实验很远
不是没拍过学术又带劲的电影啊，这部怎么这么拉？可能个人实在对于肉体SM没有任何兴趣吧，而比这更糟的是丑爆的简笔画刺青！既然美术都往异形上使劲了，对内脏的装饰设计咋就不能稍微上点心…
影像风格还蛮不错，但概念与精神内核远大于故事本身，或许更适合放在现代艺术展(?)。一头雾水观影完毕和朋友翻阅无数评价分析之后得出：柯南伯格，我确实不懂你。蕾雅赛杜本片最佳。
delicate，complex，meaningful
片中的几个装置可以找一个当代艺术中心直接搬进去了。总感觉今天会在梦里再见到Léa和Viggo躺在the Sark里，招我进入身体之中……
比较失望，总感觉结尾太无力了。那位父亲就这么死在阴谋之下了，难道这一切都毫无意义吗？
属于自己的道路上遇见注定遇见的人，成为那
形而上的美，是电影艺术的终点，也是电影艺术的原罪。先导海报里被圣光沐浴的黑袍维果总让人联想以为这将是《此房是我造》的续篇，即便看完以后确信柯南伯格已将所有的灵魂倾注此片，也很难停止脑补若是疯蹄来拍如此的题材，那又将是怎样更严肃的落笔，更味如嚼蜡阅读论文般的观影体验 w/阳
演员的演技倒是不差，但是这个剧本这个摄制这些个道具，及其呈现出来的恶心的东西，我认为只有恶趣味才能喜欢
73/100
看到三分之二，忽然理解到一条暗线，片子里很多人说话说不自然不清楚（或者干脆喉咙有问题），是在暗指传统交流不畅。性除了政治，还是一种交流方式，当传统性爱不再奏效，喷别人一脸术语可能也是一种文爱——甚至文爱了半天，才想起来是可以接吻的。说来说去还是马克思所强调的恢复身体的感觉（为什么不让身体引导你呢？）
未来人类生理追随技术的进步，不再感受疼痛。快感的阈值不断攀升，需要靠手术才能满足。女一女二被男主吸引，不像是艺术上的共鸣，更像慕––残。
真诚发问：这么划来划去、割来割去的，伤口不会感染吗？
诗意，甜腻，梦溺的诗歌
有些头重脚轻。前面对各种名词理解无能几度倒带回看，故事全貌揭开后反倒期望落空，在我这是把整部影片拉低了一个档次。柯南伯格的视觉呈现依旧大胆，结尾很喜欢。
"Surgery is the new sex." 概念不错，但是执行潦草。
