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.
欣赏不来。美帝你丑恶的侵略嘴脸在这伪善个啥？想吐
没有这样的鸭子，多看看霓虹男公关的故事，好看的是好看的。
只能说 又是一部不可能被我们拍出来的电影！全片靠高密度的对白撑起 却一点不觉得冗长无聊 可见编剧功底已是登峰造极 再想到我们那尴尬的台词 出戏的演技 祝你好运 国产电影
这官摄太棒了，方方面面都是。祈祷的一幕戏和倒数第二幕的突然压抑都是神来之笔。所有悲伤的经历都会带走你的一部分，更何况是911这样的事件，他带走了每个人的一部分且永远地改变了这个世界。
做只鸡做只鸭别做情人，花钱买的至少可爱迷人。
仅仅是有话题性的片就被当成好片说明现在的电影太水了，老年中产知识分子女性和年轻男性的性交易关系确实让人眼前一亮，再拍成聊天治愈系，主打解放自我，不再伪装高潮，正视欲望，抛弃衰老羞耻，保持关系界限等等，但也仅止步于此了，都是比较表面的东西，全片大部分以对话推进剧情，剧本无亮点，是为了概念攒成的概念片，更像是话剧。电影里有很多“寄托于与性工作者的交集达成自我升华”的题材，早年间就有《地狱解剖》，还有《风月俏佳人》、《撒玛利亚女孩》、《雏妓》，这类电影根本无法应用于现实生活的朋友、恋人、婚姻关系，只会给年轻观众造成一种虚假解放的错觉，谁没事会和性工作者谈心啊。有一部不错，尤里西·塞德尔的《天堂：爱》，讲老年白人女性招黑人男妓，最后得到结局只是失落，反映了西方对第三世界国家的剥削，这才是真实。
电影，如此梦幻…………
温暖的故事。这部音乐剧演员好辛苦啊，全程扮演不同人物唱歌、还要搬道具、换衣服。
Something has changed, something has remained, something we lost, something we gained, while something we've never truly learned… Peace&love或许可笑，但它存在过，也将一直存在。
就像某天下午给自己定了一个学期摆脱bodyshaming的课程。
在这个世界上，有很多上帝的化身在你生命中以不同的身份、形象突然出现，他会们用八万四千法门教会你如何爱和包容，然后微笑着离去，在天堂等你。
就像《震惊！六旬老太竟做了这件事》打开一看结果是她退休不忘发挥余热拯救失学少年…这说教姿势也太标准了
这是一种倒退 人的进步源于对我的约束 性开放渣男应该最爱了 不用负责 可以到处泄欲 但对社会来说 打击是巨大的 看看现在的离婚率生育率吧 把这种当进步的人是非蠢既坏！
elegant, beautiful.很真诚坦率的一部作品。
诙谐温馨的好电影。生命，终究要放下评判、自我主宰。
看之前就预感会喜欢，结果发现比之前想的更好。比起“行为”，性更像一种“媒介”或“载体”，基于此有了相互观念的碰撞。冲突点设置得很自然，没有俗套的露水情人动真心，而是女性自我意识的觉醒与性工作者对自己身份的正视。接纳情欲，正视愉悦，拥抱自身年老的躯体，于是最终达成了不由男性给予的真正高潮。最后在镜子前勇敢露出身体的Emma太好了。虽然在咖啡厅向学生坦言在我看来还是用力过猛了些（，但简中何时才能拍这种电影啊。
a-okay啦.
可这一切她都要付钱…Leo必须得是个gay呀……
四次见面，对性不同形式的尝试且得到的正常反馈，随之内心不断改变对性想法，又能让身体更寻常地将性作为一件愉悦事，它是一个渐变的过程。去交流快乐的地方，不舒服的地方，以及渴望的时刻等，做爱应该是是生活中不需要去掩饰和假装的真实时刻，热烈的温度，交织的汗水，在欲望的海洋里畅游，哪怕你其实不会游泳/不过男主过于完美的设置，以及结尾女主跟当年的学生承认，都其实有点理想化。
be anxious for nothing.
