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.
期待了一週的電影！我以為是個女權片然而⋯⋯
警察死得好冤……剧本太弱了 情感转折太生硬 演员演技太稚嫩 母女命运神秘的连接似乎直接被放弃了 隐喻不够巧妙 视听上前半段配上音乐把青春片的老套桥段拍得很有趣很精致 到了高潮却平庸到难以忍受 不过看到亡灵畏惧Sandie还是很爽 Sandie安静坐在大火里很美
复古、穿越、鬼屋、迷幻、意外结局，不错的惊悚片。
看得筋疲力尽，救命。
好漂亮的转场！好厉害的调度！好牛逼的审美！喜欢！
整体来说中规中矩，虽是女性剥削主题但bug多，且充满男性凝视，这个故事更适合阅读而不是展现在大屏幕，看剧本或小说的话可能体验更好，虽然电影的视觉效果已经不错了。说实话我以为我会很讨厌这部电影，没想到看完还挺喜欢的，也知道自己为啥会喜欢，这本身就够悲伤了
[CGV대학로] 从家到宿舍那段的flow （结尾走秀的衣服是不是没钱了）
你们不要对埃德加赖特要求这么高嘛……拍的没什么问题，他一直都是在拍这种东西啊，只是机巧的情节就是没劲，但国产电影里不都想做这种机巧还做不到嘛……
影片的摄影构图与配乐服化都极为上乘。其中Eloise第一次回返至60年代soho区的长镜头更是璀璨闪耀，在杂陈交替，层递增幅的气质塑形下有效延伸，使人浸深沉迷，包裹向往的诚挚含泪攻破欲望的碎片。在巧置群象的同时也丰富了叙事的空间与力量。可惜最终主题明确的寓意支撑赘于续尾而浅谈一些。然抛却所有对比，赖特的这部长作一定是足够认真的。
大型交通安全片之过马路要看来往车辆 大型社交安全片之别他妈喝陌生人递给你的饮料 给安雅两分
虽然不是导演一贯的风格，但还是是一场视听盛宴，就是故事简单了些。
电影前半段很精彩，对60年代old fashioned的音乐、服装精彩的生活很带感。
镜像的巧妙运用，梦境与现实的交织，摄影机徘徊于黑胶与霓虹灯，并将观众拉回美轮美奂纸醉金迷的60s伦敦
惊悚外衣包裹下的逐梦悲剧，而悲剧的力量又突破了惊悚外衣的束缚，最终沉淀下的仍然是悲剧。
表现力强但类型片内核剧情真的经不起推敲，双女主演技不错但几个配角演的真是尬
导演举棋不定，不知道想要啥，到底要鬼jump scare还是要惊悚推理反转，最后加害人变受害者虽然搞笑，但消解女性苦难就整个影片前功尽弃了
我就应该知道安雅演的女孩子绝不简单，一起毁灭吧！结尾不是什么happy ending，而是勇敢的女性无论经历什么都会活过来过自己的人生。
音乐 剪辑 镜头配合完美，服化道和置景上颇具匠心，爽片～
华美、糜烂与黑暗，风格化的叙事佐以复古音乐不要太迷人。
应该爽片, 但是看完之后十分不爽。创意有趣, 但是个体的暴力报复行为没有对群体的处境有任何改变。设定还挺有趣的, 也把女性的处境表现出来了, 但是反转一点意义都没有, 挺失望了。
