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.
中间挖隐私圣母心爆发那段太讨人厌了....同情这样的人生但真不是喜欢的女性角色
最令人称赞的是舞台设计，这么简单的 呈现形式讲了一个温情的真实故事，体现了导演的能力。
跟黑人混血小伙子约了4次后，女主身体力行地告诉我们，女人当自强啊，orgasm这事儿，我们还得靠自己啊！当然，这只有女性导演和编剧及女演员懂，男人本人无法理解！最让我震撼地是最后南希正面全裸看着镜子，这几乎是2000年以来影史最为震撼的镜头之一了，一个50岁女人的身体，她乳房下垂、腹部臃肿，可这正是生育过女性的正常状态，又有几个人可以像詹妮弗洛佩兹？！Leo小哥以一人之力抬高了整个业内标准，即使如此彬彬有礼的男青年，他一旦发起怒来，也足以致命！最后一次见面时，老师居然给当年学生道歉了，多少学生这辈子都等不来老师的道歉啊，这也是圆梦了！女人享受肉体，是不是就总有这么多顾忌？总想了解对方，与对方建立亲密关系的假象，让自己觉得不是在买春？！男人就没有这个顾虑！
原以为还是老生常谈的话题，没想到戏剧张力十足，立意比同题材高很多，Emma Tompson给我太多惊叹，小鲜肉固然可口，学会自己满足自己才是王道。
最后的半小时有点过于正面积极主旋律，让人有点情绪上接不住之外，前面的编排太妙了，简简单单的一些小动作，就可以勾勒出飞机上，户外，学校里，市议会各种场景，好厉害啊
2021 #67。就算撇开剧情不看，演员的情绪和表演，现场的走位调度打光大家不停的脱衣服穿衣服更换口音扮演不同的角色，舞台中央竟然还是个大转盘，能这样完整流畅的表演下来已经值得8.5往上了，再加上完全可以走煽情路线但是却走了乐观阳光积极向上的路线让我对编剧更加敬佩。作为一个去过911 Memorial Museum的人，那两个深不见底的巨型方形水池还是很令人震撼的。唯一令人唏嘘的是看完这个去搜“911纽芬兰”想了解更多背后的故事，出来的第一条新闻是“白宫恩将仇报，宣布禁止美国口罩生产商3M公司向邻国加拿大和拉丁美洲国家出口医用口罩”。有的时候患难见真情，更多的时候是患难见人品。放在国与国之间是这样，人与人之间更是。
政治正确含量要爆表了，但就是非常打动人，尤其是「机长自述me and the sky」和「我是岛民」。
好香好香好香，这什么男菩萨啊我天，男主只要肉体出镜我就根本移不开眼￣﹃￣
好真诚的话剧电影，男女主的化学反应很妙，对白和互动让人数度落泪… 女性意识觉醒之后的自信和自爱真的会发光~ Leo这样的Public Service上哪儿领？
题材和表演都很强。以为只是打擦边球。没想到亮点在最后。
真的一般 9.1就是夸张 对这个主旋律没有感触 在就是音乐没有留下什么特别印象
哭得很惨 但有被治愈到 真希望能在某个平行时空的2020年看了现场 可如果没有2020我对这部剧的感受可能会少了什么吧
一定要去看现场！！！我坐在第三排的rush ticket！！！太温暖了！！！简单的旋转舞台玩出花了！！！这就是现场艺术！！！
欢快又充满力量的歌舞片，对人性有力的赞颂。虽然来自远方，但彼此没有距离。最后演奏家集体演奏的《Screech Out》真的太嗨了。
没有宏大华美的布景，演员们都要分饰几角，所以舞台场景与角色转换做得相当精巧娴熟。基督徒、犹太教徒和牧斯林同时用各自旋律祈祷和声那段太动听了，还有回程时乘客过安检的慢镜头表演也是神来之笔。最后看到演员与真实人物的合影也非常感动
两位演员的互动和表演极具可圈可点之处，关于亲密关系、母子关系的话题及对性、身体、欲望、情感和需求的探讨也足以体现本片的不可多得性。这是一部让观众尤其是女性正视自己的需要、不用外界的眼光来评判性地凝视自己、解放自己床笫生活的灵汤妙药，和其成为互文的是欧容的《花容月貌》。影片基调细腻、温柔而明媚，二人互相理解开放沟通的模式看得人心旷神怡，我们需要更多这样女本位的影片
男主被拍得太美艳了吧，真的就是想要的样子！哈哈哈哈
完全的放下外界对你的看法、你对外界的看法，是很难很难的。完全看不出是表演，没有一处做作。最后一次见面的两次露胸不像同一个人。谁说是喜剧？
太棒了，希望以后歌舞剧作都能慢慢放出官摄电影！！
此刻需要非常律师禹英禑的同款表情“wow~ ⊙o⊙”哈哈哈哈，各行各业都有专业的敬业的人才啊，年轻的肉体确实很好看，但摆脱body shame才是关键
