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.
优酷。女主角有点眼熟，原来叫朱珠，好像参加过《极速前进》综艺
你所以为的坏人不一定是坏人，你所以为的好人也不一定是好人。还不错的剧本，放到一大堆国产烂片里这部电影竟然还有几分闪光点。
部分bug，整体不错，范伟这个口音真的自带笑果
虽然BUG挺多，但一环又一环的反转，每次都让你意想不到，还挺有趣的。三星电影，因为各位的演技再加一星。
还有最后周深的那首电音迷幻曲风的片尾曲。
真相其实不复杂，换个叙事手法，简单的故事或许就变成了有趣的故事
中间其实还好，部分过于抓马浮夸的地方也能忍，但接近尾声就开始拉，那个被锁隔间的警察要是没出来就是无奈荒诞现实，这出来了就是小学生作文结尾。最后彩蛋俩本应已死的“好人”还硬生生给整活了，减星的冲动更强烈了。
剪辑有点点混乱 不够流畅 人物行为逻辑不够自洽 没能立起来 再加上碎嘴 消解了黑色幽默的节奏感 和绝妙的电影比 还差点火候
剧本故事完成度还是不错的。
挺不错的悬疑喜剧片，可惜也是选错了档期。密室悬疑杀人案，不同角色的逐渐加入，让剧情有了不同角度的解读。特别是刻意隐瞒身份的角色，让剧情更加扑朔迷离。梁超演的尤老板戴眼罩那段很搞笑，喝了牛奶乳糖不耐受拉肚子那段又有点恶心。缺点是不同角色经历的情景有完全相同的重复片段，换个角度拍也不至于减分。
真不敢想象宁浩当年的代表作放在今天得改成什么德行
孩子们的合唱那一幕有点震撼。摄影视角太单一了，导致不同人的角度看故事的时候重复画面很多，层层反转的快感少了好多。感觉故事情节还是有点单薄撑不起来一整部电影，不过窦骁最后黑化的时候也是蛮带感的。
这个故事有点像睡前故事，中规中矩。
电影还可以，但是要是胆小的把它真当成喜剧看，千万小心里面的配乐。
编剧使出浑身解数，要是剧情能更疯点就好了。
还不错。几个演员都挺好的。主题我还是很喜欢的。
挺好的剧情，拍的太松散，有些镜头真没必要。
作为悬疑剧还算是合格的，但感觉后面有点滥用升格了。
类似的电影不是没有，就没见过这么操蛋的，你们确定是来搞事的？
虽然一直在反转，但并没有反转的那么让人惊叹，不过在如今粗制滥造的时代，还是值得一看的。
