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.
看到面前的一张脸，我们可能只会评估好看优劣而物化，却很难去推测这张脸背后曾经的故事与未来。是枝裕和在《小偷家族》后，还是挣脱了法律的框架，在普通人性的框架下探讨善良的可能，没有恶到彻底的堕落，没有穷到疯狂的撕扯，只有对生命的敬畏及对生活的善待。看上去不尖锐并不等于不深刻，而是另一种对生活的期望。不应该是一个非黑即白的社会，更不应该是一个非这么不可的零容错社会。
虽然这部电影一如既往的是枝裕和，但观众似乎对导演的这种换汤不换药的温吞技法审美疲劳了。
挺好看的啊，洗车那场戏，明知道是设计，就是忍不住笑和感动啊，没办法，会调教小朋友是天赋，身体里的小朋友还在。 女主在故事中段突然有了秘密，观众终于感受到了她的魅力，后面就越来越好。摩天轮的眼泪，宋康昊跟女儿吃饭，女儿太好看了吧，裴斗娜偷窥很感动的表情，导演摄影也给虚焦了面容，最后一场车里的戏绝了，不让你看宋康昊的表情，只给主观开车，但你仿佛看到他饱经风霜的样子……真的是，舍得，高手
too tedious to watch
如此的大团圆结局，稍微有点社会经验，都知道这个结局非常不现实，且最终通向的很难是幸福的未来。
是枝裕和：去外国电影市场炒一遍本土已经炒不下去的冷饭✅
这种片子就是借了寄生虫的红利了，论质量跟早年的塑料树有啥区别呢
是枝裕和就是擅长把普通场景细腻化，洗车，火车隧道，摩天轮，关灯夜话这几个场景都挺温暖的
是枝裕和开启周游列国模式，最后发现只能回归本国，但现在还没到点。
虽然但是，好无聊啊。总感觉换成日本背景能好点。
是好电影，但却不是是枝裕和的好电影，依然是标志性的细腻温情，相互搀扶拯救，但相较于之前的作品，却太轻太浅，可以理解为低配版《无人知晓》+《小偷家族》。
金棕榈之后，是枝裕和的创作是不断下坡的道路。是金棕榈的分量太重，压得是枝裕和创作焦虑，还是自身的江郎才尽。不如以此为素材拍一个是枝裕和版本的《杰出公民》，强行破圈，格外期待。
是枝裕和的味道 临时拼凑的家庭像小偷家族一样 问题是韩语是枝裕和把握得住吗 角色IU把握得住吗。 一股子冲拿奖去 但是剧本却远没有打磨好 IU也真的不适合 可能和裴斗娜换一下会更好。
从现实里脱胎却又摆脱了现实的引力痕迹。
清淡变成了寡淡，温情变成了温吞，一直到故事结束，五个人都没有被拧成一股绳，还是个散装家庭。女警察那条线，几乎可以说是败笔，冲淡了我对于剧情的期待。总的来说，挺失望。
是枝揉杂了公路、犯罪、爱情多种元素，结果落脚点还是放在了家庭。和《小偷家族》一样是无血缘关系的家族，但是写得太糖水了。不是说这种全员善人的故事不能写，但是他们的“善”没有根基，群像下部分人物形象没能很好地立起来，感觉做成部剧集会更合理。iu也不够像个少女妈妈，有时有点儿意思，但更多的时候神态里缺少这个角色应有的经历。
煽情有點多，我好久沒在戲院哭得那麼慘了。抽離出來其實故事有點太童話，但我還是進去了，羽星被疼愛得讓我很羨慕。中段節奏不太好，有點不好奇結局的意思，而且結局也有點多餘。但如果在看完的當下，我的滿足感是很高的。
虽然有点理想主义，但现如今正缺的不就是理想主义吗！
是枝裕和的日式溫白開碰到這些個南韓演員，搞得我灌了咖啡都差點沒扛住，直到iu和裴斗娜天台上的那場戲，笑出了聲才終於清醒了一些。
挑出宋康昊给个影帝，明褒暗贬啊你，小坏坏戛纳
