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.
适合新年观看的片子，没有压力，大团圆结局，充满爱，如果世界都这么和谐，那冬天就不会寒冷了吧
6分，这不就是英国版的真爱至上嘛？！但是就每个角色的关联而言，各自的联系太过于强行。剧情也太过于老套。真爱至上，虽说也老套，但是其剧情的安排较为自然，人物联系水到渠成。
另，混黑社会就不要讲情怀，片子结尾男主被杀就是太自我救赎被洗脑的结果！
一个理想主义的混混终究还是一个混混，乌克兰式的快意恩仇其实跟我们都差不多，人性基调；电影背景显示出这个国家的凋敝，如同上世纪80年代的中国。
不停有熟脸出来还挺开心的，元珍儿和李栋旭那对实在是莫名其妙，咋就亲上了，俩人演技也尬。我反而比较喜欢李光洙那对，总觉得李光洙是有演技的，但被喜剧人设和外形耽误了，观众一看他就想笑，有点可惜。
#文艺没有圈💧加了盐的白开水真苦，祈祷我妈妈身体健康。
衰老是很悲惨的事情，有没有家人都很悲惨
桥段太老了，起码稍微翻新一下啊，无聊的大杂烩。
…………这种电影还要有灰姑娘和白马王子吗？？？
给予他们希望，给予他们活下去的勇气，这估计就是导演最希望告诉我们的内容。
【①心疼允儿才出来十分钟……
弟弟和姐姐才是真的好
现实的题材 超现实的笔法 可能受限于剪辑 应该有更好的片段没有放出来 影响了一些连贯性 但对于生活中有相似经历的人来说足够戳心了 很喜欢草根智者王师傅呀 对于处女作和新人演员不要太多苛责 瘦弱的夏天很让人心疼
元真儿到底是为啥是为啥是为啥一直一直在用力的睁眼睛挤眼睛，她的部分真的想跳过。而且这部剧过于无趣了
抛开又长又臭的故事不说，仅仅是野蛮女友的炒冷饭，吃相未免难看了。另外，我很气将允儿的角色设置成只闻其声不见其人的人设，要到最后才能见得到漂亮姐姐的身影就很离谱。
其实正如片名，适合跨年观看。这么多韩国当红大咖加盟，就说明，这片子就不是为了看剧情的。
作品值得看第二遍，前十几分钟艺术性很强，浓缩了沃瓦成长的家庭与社会，伴随着激烈的迪斯科节奏，正式拉开疯狂的人生。越往后越暴力，既能看到乌克兰整个社会颓废的一面，也能看到斯拉夫人粗犷野蛮成性的一面。虽然算不上佳作，艺术性与思想性无法达到统一，犀牛的悲惨结局，算是一个报应！
遥节看的第三部“从山西出发”单元作品。出人意料地质量扎实，演员整齐，特别是山西话剧舞台的老演员精彩
老套无聊的群星贺岁片（怎么感觉这么像我们的特色。。。）
最真实的是胜孝和世真，因为害怕告白后毁掉来之不易的朋友关系，最后选择了互不越界。
