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.
剧情推动全靠各种巧合叠加
剧本扎实，演技派。中途猜到了关键剧情。英国人还是比美国人有文化
戾气少了一些，励志多了一些。
再次印证网飞不擅长出品在地化电影。多一星给演员
倒更像是师傅的传记片？影帝完全被大泉洋压过一头 觉得这种记录那些逝去的艺术的故事都格外动人 像是师父 百鸟朝凤 默片解说员之类的 人与人之间的羁绊赋予了艺术额外的价值
现实版火花 北野武还是幸运的 靠着自己的才华发光发热 师徒情相当感人了 最后葬礼上只属于两人的短剧 明明是泪点怎么觉得那么好笑
与其说是传记，不如说是对自己“伯乐”的缅怀
好好看！我永远喜爱这样优雅的角色优雅的故事。一个裁缝店三个房间完成全部的故事，工整漂亮。这种片最考验表演和台词了，Rylance完成得太好了，被惊艳到。没有一处废笔，连开头cutter讲述剪裁的独白都是埋好的线，最后十分钟依然能制造惊喜给你。/另外Rylance在这里声音太好听了，这部的配乐也很不错。
影帝的老年妆乍一看还以为是北野武真人来客串了，最后的师徒情还是让人有点动容的，可是千春小姐啊，唉……

一个精彩绝伦的计划一出自导自演的戏，把所有人都蒙在鼓里，一个人沉默的欣赏着也在表演着。
另类黑帮片
导演功底不足，找到了舞台转折冲突的张力感，但整体故事效果欠佳
除了最后略有点血腥之外，整体都不错。在这么小的空间里把故事讲好，不免联想起《十二怒汉》和《这个男人来自地球》。
一开始我以为女主是他的女儿，但不是，他只是把她当成女儿了，所以才要保护她。
《模仿游戏》编剧的导演处女作，发生封闭房间里的多重反转剧，充满舞台剧风格的野心之作。有点像西德尼·吕美特的《死亡计中计》。但可能因为设计感太强，惊喜和悬念都未能坚持到最后。如果导演不是花大部分心思于戏剧结构的设计，其实可以像开头一样，多拍一些主人公裁量衣服的情节。这种沉浸于手艺和细节之中的戏份，极富质感。有《魅影缝匠》的神韵。期待导演的小说《最初的光明，最后的黑暗》早日搬上荧幕！
另类黑帮片
蛮精巧的小成本电影，不过有个bug：爱尔兰帮的高层都被一锅端了，法国帮应该没必要再来求购录音带了吧？
事实证明Mark Rylance确实是神，然而剧作也是一流的。从此影单里又多了一位可以持续期待的导演
一直看到临近结尾阿武和师父从酒馆里走出来，送阿武上车时跟他说如果车费有剩余记得拿回来给我的那一幕才彻底明白了阿武在师父心里的份量，也确实没想到这竟然说师徒此生最后的缘份。
