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.
花开花谢花无悔，缘来缘去缘如水。兴趣爱好的合拍远不如人生阶段的合拍来得重要。何苦抱着枯树过一生，从而磨灭了当初花开时的美好。P.S.坂元为什么这么喜欢写分手和离婚，可不可以乐观一点。P.P.S.「別れる男に、花の名を一つは教えておきなさい。花は毎年必ず咲きます（请教给分手的他一种花的名字。每一年花都必将开放）。」这句话最初出自川端康成的小说，后来有川浩也引用过。不知道是不是博客里那句话的出处。
好巧哦，编导好懒哦
两个人，都有不同程度的贪心，男孩越来越爱走捷径，女孩不能承受丝毫的妥协，所以能有这么一段圆满的恋爱已经是感情生涯高光了。(女孩还有了个亚洲第一帅老板，要什么自行车啊)
就算是百分百契合的灵魂伴侣也会分手，那如何开始或怎样结束又有什么重要呢？努力过开心过就是我们在一起的意义。
虽然整个故事没有什么新意但我还蛮喜欢的，开头两人相遇和恋爱的部分还好，后面因为工作渐行渐远最后决定分手很让人唏嘘，尤其最后餐厅的哭戏，苏打太抢眼了，村花也让我get到了演技
坂元裕二依旧高水准
俺很吃这一套。除了爱情之外，这部电影顺带探讨的话题还不少呢。又有谁能保证自己不会步入被异化的深渊？热恋很美好，但爱情大多会像花束般逐渐凋零，长久的百分之几永远是少数。真希望自己永远像小绢一样坚定、自由，无论是面对爱情还是人生。苏打和有村的演技都好棒！
看到很多非常私人化的片段，用得很克制不至于过于琐碎，坂元裕二还是有点东西。
看完脑海里响起的是gigi《荷花》里的那句“开心的追忆竟比一起真正相处更加着迷”。可能因为我从来不会喜欢和自己爱好过分类似的人，所以觉得相比爱情片，这部更像生活片——男主成为了社会希望他成为的那种人，而女主成为了自己。
“蘑菇帝国停止活动，《潇洒的夜晚电波》完结，今村夏子荣获芥川奖，对于这些事她是怎么想的呢？” 我也好想知道啊。
我完了，看爱情电影内心毫无波澜。两个演员明明都喜欢却完全无法共鸣的电影（村花眼神好凶狠还很像郝蕾…）。
慕名而来，带着纸巾，结果完全无感甚至有点烦男主。大概就是讲俩人学生时期因为聊得来音乐电影文学，爱好啥的出奇一致在一起。
百分百男孩女孩之间的默契指数高到令人疲惫hhh 不过对着手机取景框表白和在行人自助斑马线前接吻真的太可爱 以及 后半程好拖沓 看得我屡次跑神 不是故事不好的意思 在分手和结婚之间痛苦横跳的片段不知会戳中多少人的软肋 只是呈现得中规中矩 充满了画蛇添足的重复和力求完满的设计感 简直获得了彩图教科书般的生动和无趣
导演编剧挺迷影，押井守也被拉来了，演了自己
总会被时间证明一切都是两厢情愿的误会在作祟。
有时候，有时候，我会相信一切有尽头，相聚离开，都有时候，没有什么会永垂不朽。可是我，有时候，宁愿选择留恋不放手，等到风景都看透，也许你会陪我看细水长流。
恋爱的感觉不过是因为刚在一起所以愚蠢的头脑把我们情绪放大化的结果。
坂元裕二真的每个剧本开头都写得超好，然后没有一个不烂尾，写个好结尾对他来说真的太难的……豆瓣应该投资一下这部电影的翻拍版，把里面所有手机壳、衣服、帆布鞋、帆布包、手帐、收藏夹啥的全换成市集豆品，书影音日记相册广播同城小组功能全用上，简直完美的宣传。
“呜呜呜太好哭了。坂元裕二太会了。呜呜呜。”
学生时代的爱情“你够不够爱我”成为是否能在一起的首要检验标准。成年人的爱情“我想要的条件你是不是匹配”却成为了在一起的首要检验标准。大学生去看这个电影可能看不懂，但到我这个年纪看这部电影只会老泪纵横。
