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.
很少女感
故事内容不重要，不要总想着给微小事情赋予极大的意义，“所有的都得是轻松的，所有的都得是真的”，发生在我们身上的生活，怎么不算是电影呢？
就是这么现实！在哪都一样！过了多少年也一样！疫情、饥荒、战争三大杀手竟然可能同期到来！美好的2022 年！
金敏喜在这部电影中更加迷人了，洪常秀这是在塑造他的缪斯。
可我依然乐观
洪尚秀的电影是我窥视文艺界人士普通生活的唯一途径
看的第一部洪常秀，本来还怕看不进去，试试却意外地对胃口。用对白串联碎片化的故事情节，用黑白铺垫最后的色彩，固定机位下的电影画面如同是小说文字的直观呈现。小说家的电影，虽然单调，但还挺浪漫的。
开局稳稳，最后结尾有点塌了，但是前期铺陈和小段戏写得都很好，镜头运用就是基本女主视角，拍后脑勺，虚化后景，真实感怼脸的感觉。最后有点崩了，结尾可能也是不知道走向哪了，好像大家现实中面临的一样…
咆哮后辈店长，抽烟的姐姐作家，buy book，buy local. 低眉顺目的店员。三人一起手语。
第一反应电影或许结尾在Jodie的那段“控诉”会更好，但回头一想可能导演有意在平衡愤怒的情绪。p.s.利物浦球迷看着心酸而又满足。
J C在小变态和失控玩家后能够接一部这样的人文关怀电影，不愧是英国女演员。新冠疫情来袭，养老院病房的窘况，所有人都鼻酸
洪导和敏后镜头前后互道“我爱你”，我反复观看，笑咧到嘴角。
不太喜欢电影 但被洪常秀在摄影机背后的告白打动了
援助，还是无助
整体其实比较平庸，但是题材好评，这是目前为止新冠题材拍得最好的一部了
中间反反复复循环在背景音里的NHS语音提示，想要增加焦虑感和无力感，但明明那一段其实有朱迪的表演就够了，背景音真的要多多余就有多多余；还有反复切的虚焦远景。
“为什么不让这么好的演员去演商业电影”？(电影里的台词）感觉听到了一场真实的灵魂拷问，完全是一部洪尚秀的私欲电影啊，拍独立电影就是浪费时间吗？拍黑白就是刻意吗？最后作为摄影的洪尚秀和金敏喜的一场“婚礼”，满屏的秀恩爱直接溢出屏幕啊。
突发新冠症状的病人那段看了非常揪心…阿兹海默患者 新冠疫情 护理院 英国，一开始就奠定悲剧基调 有些戏剧化的出逃也显得像对现实的宣战 无力但也要发出声音
Some have too much, yet still do crave; I little have, and seek no more. 6
ou确实是无法分清开头更好还是结尾更好的电影啊！还是结尾更好吧！像蝴蝶一样的电影，扑腾的翅膀经过，只留下气味在空中。
