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.
剧本编得很赞，反转一个接一个，让人看得很过瘾，明明是一部CULT猛片，但中间竟然还隐隐夹着黑色幽默，实在是赞！强烈推荐！
“一辆该死的娘炮车
被小男人男主气死，老爹纯爷们可惜了，结尾影射好莱坞黑人选角nice
第一感觉是拖沓。剧本还有一丢丢意思，拍的水平不行。这种故事可能第一次看的人会比较喜欢吧，不过我已经看过「趣味游戏」那么高水平的了，再看这个觉得很乏味。
很傻、很无厘头、很血腥的电影，不过看着却很欢乐也很爽，细想之下却有些可怕。一栋北欧山野里的度假小屋，一对相互仇恨心怀不轨的夫妻，三个心狠手辣的逃犯，一出暴力满满的闹剧。剧中人似乎智商都不高，恰好构成黑色幽默的卖点。
唯一理解她的是威尔
黑色幽默和屎尿屁的魔幻反应，欢乐沙雕和血浆的神奇火花。没什么野心，导演只想玩的开心，今年最有趣的R级片。
各种不合逻辑，各种搞笑扯淡，各种血浆杀人，就是一个完全不用带脑子看的爽片
还能更糟么？能更糟更糟更糟更糟更糟……………………好转了~
还不错。裤裆藏仨桌球满分。要是多关爱一下爷爷就更好了～
荒诞活泼紧张现实，其实婚姻最本质的东西就是利益，这是最坚实的基础
生死关头扯对方头发自救啊！反正男主又不会输。
女主：沉稳，聪明，善良，为人着想，大度，果敢，冷静 。
每个人都有脑子脱线的时刻，然后组合成了这部可爱的反转喜剧
多了无趣也腻
演员演得好好～套娃般的倒叙多了就烦了。评分3.5
3.5★~血腥搞笑无厘头，还有哪位不穿衣服姐妹能抗拒“马鞭”呢~
在糟糕的日子里，救彼此于水火的不离不弃，让祸成为福之所倚。
拿什么拯救婚姻呢？生死离别，相爱相杀，一起干个大事件，遭遇个山崩地裂，大无语？嗐~问题和答案本身就还挺矛盾的，真要问如何拯救的话。那时的婚姻，还真的有必要拯救吗？
