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.
全片没有台词只有声效推进，从洞口不断下探687米。随着勘探的终结，老人的生命也走到了尽头，是电影语言的比兴，是诗意。
戛然而止。我在想，拍一个勘察墓葬的不错啊。 @2021-09-21 22:37:43 @2022-06-03 23:19:56
前半段的场景和演技过于drama 后半段感情铺的还ok 奥斯卡不至于不至于
3.5 聚焦大众并不关注的残奥会运动员，他们成功的不易。神奇小子的成功，逃不过他有一个神奇妈妈。互相吐露内心苦楚的片段，真的太虐心
想起刚看过的阿巴斯，视听极佳的伪纪录片，摒弃语言，感动自己涌现。
Bjiff2021 所谓精神抚慰不过如此，通篇交织生命无言的消逝和苍然的呼唤，不断重复下坠直到脚踏实地。提前宣布是今年北影节最佳，去年的是《蜂蜜之地》。
画面极美...嗯...其余的不太好评价了，摩天大楼与洞的对比，老人与洞的联系...总的来说就是，我看不懂但我大受震撼
影片叫洞 半个小时了 洞才出现 全片唯一的台词大概在第十分钟处 看出来了传承 双线叙事以及一些隐喻 电影前一杯奶茶都止不住后半段困了 我的北影结束了 maybe never again
BJIFF2021 深影 4.0 太像纪录片了，摄影相当美，声音很精巧，尤其是回声，几种不同的回声做出了明显的层次，视觉和听觉层面是相当的享受了，故事简单但进入探洞之后的悬疑感还是很强的，不会昏昏欲睡，深影这个厅的效果也足够强，这个片子一定要刷大银幕+杜比全景声啊，不然真的很浪费
非常好，又非常不友好。镜头很美，但宽容极低，外面像反转片胶片一样漂亮，洞穴里（个别镜头除外）像一次性相机晚上不开闪光灯。大部分影院和家用设备都难以达到本片最佳效果，有几处就是影厅光污染大赏。 很美，组合在一起就是不抓人，就是没办法精准降落在此片任何一点上，只能感受，我一边看一边放空自己，甚至无聊到锻炼眼部肌肉，它的“信息点”可以用空气感来形容。但你只要呼吸一下，就可以全方位感受它要跟你讲的人与自然那勉强缘妙不可言时有时无宿命般的联系，测量与真实的联系。探洞用来标记的杂志也妙。 对浮躁的人不友好，也甭想挣钱。它像一篇你很难证伪的论文，它不想洗你的脑，你也看不进去，它那么不费劲不讨好，独自美丽，拿了个奖风光毕业，论文从此沉入大海，偶尔有文艺博士生捞起来看两眼摇摇头再扔回海里。不写了走到西直门了…
“非完美母亲”的定位让电影变得更具真实感，但这种真实却在每个时段的浮光掠影和过度渲染中被消磨掉了。
只属于电影院的电影，全程无对白，对于不想看字幕的人实在太享受了，地下600多米的探索，和地上老人的弥留，不知道有什么关系，但是看着地下的沟壑和老人的脸，貌似又是有联系的。
BIFF2021 全片最戏剧性的时刻是 影片结束后 字幕处出现了“因影相聚 祝大家中秋快乐” 刚落下的掌声又响起 观众随着掌声、洞里溶岩的水滴声 一步一步 安静地走出影院…
让我们这个社会，都努力令这些小部分人的更简单更容易的生活，而更包容，更多的关注
「妈妈的神奇小子」20210821
每次固定镜头位置都很讲究。看完才发现是《四次》的导演，我很喜欢四次。
剧情稳健，选角合适，各种好哭。剧作挺聪明的，第一幕写接力，中点后写揾食。片尾原型好帅，可惜这样完美的男孩也依旧并不是多数女孩的选择。三个年龄段的男主都演得好。音乐太满了。
煽情 尴尬 剧作和拍摄都让人感觉很痛苦 浪费原型了
【BIFF2021】摄影也太不容易了…洞穴探险与生命尽头的双线文本，不在影院很难沉浸。
Fame is a fickle food, it never last. 为了生存对每个人来说都是肯定要屈服的。我现在也被单位解聘了，要重新找工作。电影都是要渲染，要烘托情感的。我稍微查了一下这位真正“苏神”的资料。其实他现实中家庭条件倒不至于那么那么惨。后来不是还成为了刘德华公司的文员吗？电影最后结尾剪辑进去几秒钟人物原型苏桦伟真实的比赛影象，让我瞬间破防泪崩。我还真是只管看励志类型的电影啊，喜欢在影院里哭一鼻子。
