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.
黄赌毒与扫黑除恶，东北味十足。
没有想象的糟糕，首先剪辑乱，叙事乱，前半段像是盖尔加朵的个人粉丝见面会，后半段推理水的不行，虽然还是让我看的一愣一愣，那是因为我没看过原著。全片下来更像是波洛的成长史/自传，我不要看你为什么留胡子为什么没结婚，我就想看精彩的推理！
看这导演的东方快车和尼罗河之前
78th with Tao. ——2022.04.10 @新林楼
有些地方欠火候，但好喜欢看到谢苗的打戏啊～
平平之作，也没有那种古典美了，这种牵扯到财产的，妻子死了怀疑丈夫果然没错。
侦探用不标准的英语流利地讲述着往事，飞速地分析着案情，不忘在动情处潸然泪下。难道不是很好吗？
这样的片子在院线序列里竟然只配三星么……我看的非常爽了。服化道美极，波洛探案的全员皆可疑预设也够有噱头，只不过事不过三，东方快车和尼罗河之后再玩一次就腻了。It's always all about money.
我没看过小说或者之前的电影。感觉还不错。尤其后半部分推理起来就明显感觉紧凑了。。虽然刚开始就怀疑过凶手是他，但不在场证明确实洗刷了嫌疑。要怎么说阿婆厉害呢后面给的解释不仅让行凶合理。也让爱情合理了。

想不到能在电影里欣赏埃及和尼罗河风光。黑美唱歌部分妥妥是贴合电影剧情，唱出最深沉的悲伤。
没有对比就没有伤害，被78版全面碾压，碾成渣。一个多么神采飞扬的故事，被讲得如此无趣。肯尼斯布拉纳，求放过阿婆吧！
1.非原著党，所以也没有原著党的愤怒，甚至觉得IMAX版作为旅游宣传片还特别爽。
2.盖尔加朵也老了
人物关系设置不合理，出场人物虽然众多但大多纯粹仅为布景板而已，悬疑的表现手法也拙劣，根本不自然，全都是倒叙，观众们又不是三岁小孩……
没有流量，没有大场面，结构简单，干脆利落。看得出预算有限，没大布景，没五星酒店加豪车，配角演技有限，也没什么支线剧情，可以说挖掘不够，也有不合逻辑，但导演尽可能保留了主线的完整，就一个简单故事，比某些院线大制作有诚意有技巧太多。
难得，可以看。终于算是认真点了～谢苗拍现代戏真是比拍古装顺眼太多了，而且动作设计也适合他，他拍古装太僵硬了。ps：戳脚真是一门街头打架的好功夫
就比上一部还不如，也是服了。爵士放过这个角色吧，你演不了，也导不好。
比第一部好看，主角都是第一个被杀………加朵好美啊啊啊啊啊
