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.
在如今这个分裂加剧、非此即彼，凡事都被穷尽并推向极端的时代，我们还需要怎样的解构和颠覆、混乱与黑暗？我们究竟是从什么时候开始，对和自己无关的、发生在遥远过去的“岁月静好”感到如此不耐烦？我们的内心得有多沧桑，在看到其貌不扬的平庸少年——也就是曾经的我们时，不再能共情？
像是大麻的烟雾中露出一丝清醒的尴尬，或是极佳的光源和花样的镜头调度下迷幻的人物说着不着边际的台词，荒诞的胡闹过后在破晓时分认清自己的处境。
下半部分，也能算电影吗？
The "truck backwards down a hill" scene is quite funny. Also known as "truck driving in reverse".
不至于这么低分吧，比起PTA以往的作品，减弱了更多花哨的运镜，让沉稳的视角跟随着青春浮动的心情，就像躺在水床上吸大麻，一边是怀旧金曲，一边是各种叠印长镜头式的回忆往事。
很有意思，我全程都没太看进去，但又能一直吸引我看下去，太多妙笔了，声音的处理也很独特，真的看到之前你很难想象会在电影里看到一段长长的几乎无声的倒车戏
PTA果然就是PUA代名词。用这片鉴定豆瓣友邻是否真女权那是一览无余的清晰。
这样的片子对PTA来说，简直是手到擒来，毫无难度，氛围、情调很迷人，若即若离的暧昧关系处理得刚刚好，选了一对长着很素人脸的男女主角，非常对路了，一路奔跑的镜头虽然通俗，但处理得很带感，整体看来几乎就是半个洛杉矶风情画了，光怪陆离的各类人逐一登场，都是他们恋爱的背景板。这个片子应该和昆汀的《好莱坞往事》一起看的。
PTA的电影其实一直不是我的菜，总觉得味道怪怪的，确实像吃了个甘草披萨...（这次连片名我都不知道什么意思）他的电影比较私人化吧，比如对演员有独特的审美趣味，这次的男女主都是他的熟人（老搭档菲利普塞默霍夫曼去世了，于是就找他儿子演，这点还蛮感动的），故事应该也都是改编自他的制片人朋友的真实经历，人物众多，情节流水账。但确实有的地方视听观感很高级，片头男女主在学校拍照路上相遇就拍得简单又有意思。男主是个超级社牛症，跟大他10岁的女主相爱相杀，一块创业做水床生意，他们各自都尝试过更适龄的约会对象，直到结尾才真正在一起。喜欢把彻底没油的卡车空档开到加油站那段，帮深柜议员打掩护蛮抓马的。台词很street boy，选了很多怀旧金曲。
其实挺不错的，光看标题和简介有点容易错过的电影。一看男主就觉得很像霍夫曼，点进去果然是霍夫曼的儿子。
典型的pta，有佳句无佳章 @ angelika 短评怎么能说这部电影是纯真的爱情呢，明明每次转折都把我们带离人物更远，是很冷酷的视角，很少有能和人物共情的时刻，不能因为开头和结尾的纯真爱情就把这电影说成是单纯的爱情电影吧
通篇比较荒诞，但笑料包袱还是有几处的，魏翔不易啊。老婆说，没沈腾，没砸了就不错了。二刷加上一星，为了天才白痴梦和彩虹下面。马丽也真是辛苦，需要跟所有麻花男演员搭戏

不知所谓。原速看了一小时，1.2倍速看了一小时，最后也没有惊喜，浪费时间。
春节档，要找一部老少咸宜的喜剧片，有多难。
比原版差远了。马丽演人人垂涎的美女太让人出戏。魏翔的兔牙可爱。
PTA借用80、90年代美国电影的视觉讲了一个相应年份的（或许也是他年轻时的）"洛杉矶往事"
1麻花所有爆款电影全是翻拍（抄袭）；2演不了男主角是有原因的；3麻花演员们永远分不清什么是喜剧，什么是发神经；4三谷幸喜的魔幻时刻随时都让人感受到他对电影的热爱，杀手有什么，春节档投机者丑恶的嘴脸罢了。
复古轻快又很真诚的爱情小品，镜头调度还是一如既往的迷人，男女主表演很自然…
我直说了，恶臭boy:)小到十五大到六七十的男人都是一个德行:)男凝的还不明显吗。
