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.
又是一个意境惊悚片。前面节奏很慢，片尾才看到那几个cult镜头，我这个百年重口味的人都觉得挺带劲了。符合时下热门社会题材。
别看，求求大家.太二臂了这片，真的无语.今年最无语的片子.直男导演就别拍这种题材了，真的无语了.
最后男人套娃生娃真的十分怪诞和“cult”了，故事沉闷却奇异，以女性视角的幻想与现实结合去看待男人的世界，故事里的男人都影射于死去的丈夫，暗喻各种极端性格，男人生娃无需女人，也是女主一直的精神困扰，明明那么讨厌丈夫却走不出他死亡的阴影，从女主吃下“禁果”，仿佛暗示这一切是女主的罪有应得，而在观众视角，看待男人对女人的影响，就是女人离不开男人，男人能把一切施加给女人，可最后又仿佛暗示本就一体，让人觉得可悲，导演想表达的也许远不止这些，相比内核，我更喜欢该片的摄影和镜头，真有一种独特的美感
所表现的女性感受到的来自男性的压迫和对恐惧，不到真实社会里的百分之一，而男人们已经都破防了。“什么你居然敢挑起性别对立？”呵
从头到尾都充斥着对男性的敌意和恐惧，不仅针对出现在剧中的各色男性，甚至离经叛道的指向宗教：阴森的教堂、淫秽的神父，甚至女主角前夫自杀时身上出现的圣痕，都直指代表着象征男权的基督教；如果说丛林中走出的古怪男子象征着亘古而来的男权思想，那么剧中的出现的诸多男性则是开枝散叶的“魅力国男”，甚至连跨性别者/同性恋人群也难以逃脱Y染色体的控制；飘散的蒲公英是男性恣意播撒的侵略、体液和野性，暗红色的房子是女性难以逃脱生育命运的母体子宫，片中的各种隐喻在最后二十分钟通过强烈的观感刺激，变成一种彻底的对于男性和生育的恶心和恐惧。总言之，这是一部男人和女人看完都会心神不宁的电影。
和妈妈一起看的，皆感慨脚先出来的繁衍想象力
随便看看就行了，希望导演下一部恢复正常水平
膈应人；只是放大了“男性社会对女性压迫这个问题”，没有起到任何缓解作用（根据导演男的看来这也是合理的）。
符号是直给的，隐喻是表层的，但图像上绝对能载入cult影史（到后半段越看越兴奋。直接联想到阿伦诺夫斯基的《母亲！》一类强符号性的寓言作品，海报之一也让人想到《趣味游戏》，同样不断地对观众实施精神强暴。
差点吐了。导演牛逼。这种又恶心又怪又疼又能共情到的感觉真的太久没有过了。
形式做到极致 但符号化太过于明显 直接喂 最后这个套娃真的….一丝丝不适

有点恨铁不成钢！这么好的概念没想清楚就开始写然后就拍了的节奏……
B+. 太明显了，男人就是恐怖之源。由男性凝视、荡妇羞辱、爹味说教、信奉暴力编织而成的天罗地网，在女性的心理与现实世界中皆成挥之不去的梦魇。
女权文艺恐怖片。可惜目标观众不是三者的合集，得是交集。
这个本子信息量很大耶，最后那个连环…简直了！非常适合讨论
love how fxxking weird and absurd this is. （评价一定两极（男人去死
近一年以来看过最喜欢的电影。前半：女主孤独得漫步在乡间的小路上，平静中参杂着痛苦和雀跃，以为逃离了城市中噩梦一般的婚姻。神经质的前夫死后都没有放过他，吵架时的每一句诅咒都不可避免得牢牢得钉住她。大地如此得集具灵性，阴阳两面的石雕，男性和女性的生和死。后半：在小镇里遇到的几个男性都share用一张脸，他们各不相同，但每一个都具有着一类典型的“男性特征”，都在某种程度上不同方面得讨厌着，伤害着女性。身上长满了阴道，一个toxic的男性生出另外一个，“男子气概”代代传承繁衍，最后生出的却是浑身是血的前夫。女主在恐惧和痛苦中反击，前夫终于和他的诅咒一起消失在女主的世界中。
我的理解是，不管他们是什么职业什么性格，都是同根生，本质上是一样的
