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.
向往自由的疯癫，背离牢笼的坚定。这部电影最大的感受就是：太美了
看了40分钟，这演技太拙劣，每一秒都在呈现各种不适
三天的圣诞让戴安娜几近崩溃，最后情绪在一次夜晚的回到曾经居住的庄园时彻底释放，搭配令人陶醉的跟随与运动镜头蒙太奇，将整部影片推向高潮
简直就是小k个人时装秀🤤
greenwood的配乐实在大赞，爵士搭配古典的复调旋律将观众瞬间拉入影片压抑的氛围，
聚光灯都打在她的身上，压得喘不过气。当戴安娜王妃迷路时，所有人都只是看着，没有一只手指向她需要前往的地方。不过至少最后，她和那群雉鸟都逃出了这高高的，隐形的宫墙。小K演得像不像我不敢妄下定论，但我至少知道，她的一颦一笑，都有足够的感染力与说服力。
她被凝视，被束缚，被不知所措，被选择，也只能突破这一切，ks这一次的表演还算是完成度很高的
好久没看小k的电影了，没想到她演技进步这么大，虽然仪态也是一如既往地真糟糕，感觉她会成为继梅姨之后，又一个用脖子以上演戏的女演员！太多脸部特写，确实也是展现出了戴安娜的压抑痛苦纠结的情况，但也未尝不是规避拍全身时小k演技带来的尴尬矫揉造作拧巴！其他演员确实如一篇豆瓣短评所说的那样，怎么都不会演戏了，好别扭了！基本也能看出这部众星捧月突出小k的演技了！但是这个电影的演技方式真的很难让人共情戴安娜，她的遭遇里她明明就是受害者呢，但是全片看完，只觉得她矫情拧巴没事儿找事儿！但戴安娜与安妮博林相遇（确实有点儿瘆人），最后狂奔与童年的自己相遇，确实又很燃让人感动！还有就是这卫生间比我卧室都大和精致，慕了！还有那套淋浴管，想要拥有！看到海报那件裙子了，真漂亮啊！小k会得奥提，但未必会得奖，当然欢迎打脸！
christine演技不错诶！只是到后面有点意识流了
小k的英音惊艳了我，这些年在独立电影界的摸爬滚打成就了她，一个好的演员必然要走上演技磨练的道路，现在她的演技可以算是炉火纯青的地步了
比《第一夫人》更上一层楼，更加写意，更加聚焦于主角一个人，时空交错的噩梦和充满人情味的片段让角色不仅处在一个牢笼之中，它还是一个满是冲突和变数的牢笼，影片临近末尾的那个蒙太奇段落着实让人开眼。
不敢想像的不好看，甚至配樂服化道也不是很出色。
配乐好听、构图美、滤镜美、服化道美，that's all."A fable from a true tragedy."
一个没有做好铺垫和情节处理的电影，会让主角像个神经病。
那段换装虽然是表现婚姻中多个重大时点和心境，服装师的堆砌炫技痕迹还是重了，一种“费心设计的衣服没用完集中摆一下也给冲最佳服装奖加点buff”的感觉。
不论历史如何，影片的切点真的很好啊。说是套层也好，counterpart也好，极其工整地假借历史展开叙述。以出轨为引子引出性别置换的特殊语境，相当自然的女性主义。尽管稍后的对戴安娜对普通人生活的向往、以及当一个普通母亲的愿望的渲染实则有些无视王室的无奈，但还是包裹住了一层对僵化制度的反讽。
演员标签还是很重，感觉看完后对黛安娜更不了解了，她的痛苦、孤独充斥着整个片子，非常用力的描述她的痛苦、压抑，反而显得很不真实，其他人（皇室）的反应近乎于雕塑，毫无人味，这很不对，香奈儿花了大价钱吧。
比《第一夫人》更上一层楼，更加写意，更加聚焦于主角一个人，时空交错的噩梦和充满人情味的片段让角色不仅处在一个牢笼之中，它还是一个满是冲突和变数的牢笼，影片临近末尾的那个蒙太奇段落着实让人开眼。
不要坦然接受那死寂的旋律，不要卑微沉默着低下头颅，不要被生命闭锁的时态所困窘。那些让人完美赞叹的食物和光鲜华丽的衣饰从未如此扼人咽喉，能够捆缚住手脚的绝不只锁铐，那些恐怖机械化的皇室牢笼，恰是更加丰腴了斯宾塞对美好自由精神的向往，那些渴望逝去的记忆，恰是填补透视了未来的景观。要去剪开那封闭带刺的栅栏门窗，要去拯救那空乏的肢体，要去拾得沉睡已久的自我。望着独自在墙内孤寂抚慰自我的“王妃”，拉雷恩同样被异化的创作姿态通过不断裂变的语言释放出一种持续不断、急不可待、且随时可能爆发的能量，仿佛不停在暗示我们需要和她一起战胜这虚伪的景观。每天她都在美梦中醒来，却撕碎了眼前一切，鼓足最后的力气去迎接噩梦般的现实。在未知到来的爱意和归来复辟的速度面前，她终于可以不惧深情地承认——“是斯宾塞，而非戴安娜。”
做作的姿态和面部表情，气声凶巴巴的台词，她的糟糕演技支撑不了这个角色，观影每一分钟都很煎熬。看任何版本的戴妃都是喜爱和同情，只有这一版，想伸手进屏幕揪住她的衣领大喝：贱人就是矫情。
