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.
改编之作在剧情上没有太多惊喜了，这就看演员的演技能不能有所突破。吉伦哈尔选片一般比较刁钻，本片的情节与狙击电话亭的故事异曲同工，观众需要从男主与报案人，警察，搭档的语言交流中脑补各种画面，很考验演技，这种纯粹的独角戏基本看点就是演员自己演技的发挥，不得不说吉伦哈尔的表演的确很有张力和爆发力，把一个911接线员从接到绑架报案后开始努力想帮助对方脱身的急迫和热忱，到最后发现对方原来是精神病并杀害了自己亲生小孩的真相后瞬间崩溃都演得丝丝入扣，层次感非常好，虽然有时候用力过猛显得角色有点情绪行为失控，但终究还是瑕不掩瑜，一人一电话就把故事推向高潮，真心希望看到吉伦哈尔更多精彩的演技。
还行吧，男主的表演在“将将好”和“有点过了”之间横跳，总的来说还不错算是撑起来了
即便是翻拍这个分数也真的太低了，是福奎阿的镜头不好还是吉伦哈尔的表演不强？！这种怼脸的大特写对导演和演员的要求都太高了，而且人物的心理轨迹要比原版还要清晰完整，这么局促的空间内节奏好得不得了，每一个气口都位置都对，且该短短该长长的（除了结尾厕所戏结尾长的有点狗尾续貂），豆瓣这评分是不是有点装大了？！
看预告片感觉应该是部很好看的悬疑片，实际全片看完感觉很没劲，前半部分差点看不下去
和原版几乎没有区别...加的几个外景画面反而有点突兀（可能先入为主了吧）
这片显然更适合舞台剧的方式表现，看吉伦哈儿打了1个半小时电话，基本都是在室内固定场景相当无趣。
类似911接线的电影已经有不少了，这一部加了接线员自己的罪过，画蛇添足
太压抑了。。。看着都要喘不过气来（偏偏在今天选了这部片子补），有好多没必要的细节，反正一切都是为了烘托情绪吧。表演挺拼的，但不是Jake的最好水平（和夜行者差远了），约莫又是爸爸一贯的根据casting来定基调和改内容的模式
第一.虽然翻拍，但很网飞；第二.杰克吉伦哈尔，演技在线，只要剧本好，演员好，一个演员就可以演绎一部电影，尽管类似接警的电影已经很多，但是随着层层带入，既是在拯救别人，也是在拯救自己，一明一暗两条线，波得云开见月明，把握得可以；第三，选在9.11上映，挺符合主题；第四，这位自顾吴暇的警员带着情绪忙着给人做心理按摩，倒是刚好也给我做了远程按摩，哈哈哈哈
话务员独角戏这个设计挺好的，就是这个剧情稍微有点偷懒
小成本电影（吧？）讲得故事不错呀，看了一些评论之后觉得丹麦版应该更超越（或者致郁）一些。
Hmmmmm Got mixed feelings about this one
吉伦的演技一贯的好，但毕竟是直接翻拍的，且等我看完原版再说
表演并不好，表情都变形成那样了，一滴眼泪都没有，太尬了
看完这影片只有一个感觉：情绪管理很重要，情商真的很重要！人在激动的情况下，会忽略掉很多重要的细节。
爱马就吉伦哈尔一个人独角戏全程打电话，cast全是配音没有出演😂满脑子全是画面，还无尿点，我服。
暴躁老吉在线办案，这么暴躁，不怕被投诉死嘛
broken people save brken people。从一开始就目不转睛，代入感太强了。源代码老铁演技也是太强了。毕竟全局都只有他，但渲染的氛围却历历在目！强！
心理的变化和救赎表现的不明显，全片给人刻意的感觉，转折较生硬，可以看出导演对这一题材能力不足，又一个好故事被平庸。男主演技还是可以的。
作为警察情绪那么不受控制，难怪会误杀小孩。结尾算是政治正确的良心发现么。中间剧情就还好，也在预料之中，演技也就那样吧
