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.
太！好！看！了！那些说晦气的可别再糟蹋电影了 你们压根不配看恐怖片 有花两小时看电影的功夫还不如去庙里多拜拜
当初看《灵异咒》就觉得漫长地难以忍受，这部《咒》两个小时，它内里民俗恐怖最邪气的部分已经被稀释殆尽，并且这一定是要导演和剪辑来背锅。伪纪录这种形式看着粗糙，实际上对素材的编排处理要求更高，这方面肯定比不上《中邪》，也比不上《灵媒》。
我喜欢里面的视错觉运用，尤其是结尾翻译经文的时候，利用黑白对比，让咒符在画面消失之后，依然在眼前闪烁。
聚焦的点错了吧，观众更想看的应该是陈家的整个环境？六年前的一些民俗邪//教味很浓片段倒是很吸引我
不懂这个电影和真实事件有什么关系啊？毫无关联啊，然后女主害死师傅一家那里我超级生气，朵朵实惨。感觉可以打三星半，至于诅咒的话其实是恐怖片的套路啊，不要心理暗示
做了很大心理建设发现根本没有很恐怖（个人感觉），其实影片中很多东西都司空见惯，视觉错误的动图，伪纪录片形式，甚至互动性的打破第四面墙，这些都已经屡见不鲜了，只是导演很好的让它们“各司其职”。至于晦气这一点，不恰恰证明影片的成功吗。那段翻译咒文设计的还挺巧妙的，当你为了看清楚一直盯着中间时，视觉就自动记住了那个图案，后面的白屏或者闭眼都会浮现出来。
6.5分。看完下楼扔垃圾，也是两个人一起去的。
3.5，导演通过传播诅咒的感念很好地隐藏了片中摄影机的视点，让人物临死还抱着摄影机这件事不在成为槽点。落笔亲情也是为了让祝福变为诅咒更加顺理成章，虽然jump scare没有亮点与创新（不太吓人）但在华语恐怖片中也足够恐怖了。悬念在最后被揭晓的那刻无疑是兴奋的。
哎不是，真有人觉得因为那句话自己就被诅咒啊？
母爱亦是如此。
啥啊……伪装纪录片你倒是设计好啊，那有的地方根本就没有摄像头，那画面哪来的，漏洞百出。而且这句话本来就是闽南语，自己听不懂去找一个云南的和尚来解释？？其他都是恐怖片常规套路啊，必备作死三件套，不管多危险小孩一定没人看，不管多恐怖，SB一定要探洞，渲染了半天，最后看一个挖空的紫水晶洞再配点尖叫……
各方面的表现都十分普通，多线处理的还可以。
个人感觉还没有灵媒好看。太刻意，有不少除片中摄像机之外的镜头视角不严谨，剪辑稀烂
顶着压力给个四星。其实当你相信了这一句咒语时，其实你就等于是导演给你讲的整个故事。就如同来到了影片的最后，女主说，接下来就是地道内的视频，估计有很多接受了前面一大段心理暗示的人，已经不太敢去看这个视频了。--女主在影片中，就是这种诡计性叙事的导演的替身。她也欺骗了大家。而跳跃式的时间线以及手持DV式的拍摄，都是为了这种诡计性叙事而存在的。这就能原谅了。
像极了早年间网络上疯传的恶意诅咒邮件，制作组真是充满了恶意。给我点赞，诅咒自动反弹给制作组！
密集恐惧真的掉san……佛母长得也有点克系，所以这个故事当克苏鲁代餐也行（？）伪dv的形式有利有弊吧，为了保持这种虚假的“真实”，有时候机位的选择就很刻意，人物还得去做一些多余的动作调整镜头，而且作为观众还会下意识质疑这个场景出现摄影机是否合理。这些东西又会反过来削弱真实感。不过恐怖片就是明摆着的“故意”嘛，比如那个黑屏的咒语，字幕就是要在正中一个字一个字蹦，盯着中心看久了会发现周围的符文好像在扭动旋转，虽然是玩视错觉的小聪明，但还是有用心设计的，笑笑完事了。看恐怖片还怕啥晦气啊？
电影电影，梦幻泡影，不必当真啦。
作为观看恐怖片多年的观影者并没有被吓到，反而觉得有众多恐怖片的影子。女主竟觉得有一点点像刘若英。
伪记录的拍摄手法做得也不够彻底，中间起码有两个镜头不是来自主角的摄影机或其他任何设备。
