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.
想象力很好，好到片尾字幕都想一直看完，还是熟悉的配方，始终保持着独特的美学风格，又一个怪诞寓言，实话实说，AI主题没毛病，就是故事性差一些。
看之后：当然要啊！导演你自己看看你拍的是什么！（摔）可以说吗，杉野遥亮的演技真是…啮檗吞针……
2022-05-07星期六下午在家和爸媽用Netflix看。看一半棄。剝去一些技術想像之後便空洞無物。科幻感太弱了，本質上還是法國人樂見的那套用浪漫化的風格呈現喋喋不休的囈語和衝突如何交織出日常生活中焦慮的人際關係的議題，索然無味。
用科幻喜剧讽刺了现状，互联网时代人类的推荐广告，单纯的欲望经济，展现了精神世界的魅力
三星半 很可爱的电影 题材类似《机器人9号》新旧机器人大战 为了爱与和平 守护人类是我们的目标 片中机器人模仿人类的冷笑话很冷但也很扎心 做出承诺又反悔不就是人类的通病么
无厘头的低成本小科幻想法很有趣，可惜能力太差了。
他们试图掩盖的，我们要记住。“世界不要an了/世界不要lian了”，我们把痕迹刻进血肉里，比命长。
你让她等了你好久，好久，等到了晴空，等到了海的那一头。
科幻戏剧
法式幽默
那个一起看海的晴天。那个久别重逢并肩听雨的夜晚。那场眼泪比亲吻更真实的幻觉。生命在水中诞生，也在水中死去。水最温柔，也最残忍。水最轻盈，也最沉重。“上善若水，你也若水。当你流经我乏味的生活，当我意识到你的‘不普通’，才终于明白你对我有多重要。”
#TIFF21 第47场 很工整，但角色的刻画不知为何都很脸谱化，弧光的组构心有余而力不足，同时很多点没能深入探索，只是浅层次一笔带过，有些可惜。
波兰电影咋都这么苦大仇深，这片真的拍太长了
波兰的孙志刚案，奶一个最佳剧本和奥提。大量的室内对话戏，分镜看得出导演极其学院派的功底，近三个小时的长度，没有任何可以指摘的地方——但这也是这类题材作品的遗憾之处：为了准确反映一段民族历史伤痕，必须要克制稳妥，因此也不容再有发挥创造力的空间，事件本身决定了电影全部的深度。
# 78 Venezia # 这是一部沉重，深刻，触目惊心的电影，虽然是发生在80年代的波兰，里面发生的事件以及司法程序都影射了当下的社会现实，区别是在电影中问题得到了解决，在现实中问题得到了掩盖
接近某种思想实验，着眼点在于科技对人性和社会的异化。挺有意思的，科幻喜剧小品，稍显冗长，再短点就更好了。
设定还可以 故事拍的太无聊了 实在无法get到这奇奇怪怪的法式幽默
一步步擦拭强权罪行，冗长且压抑。同时也挺绝望，因为它还在，正在发生
故事可以 拍的一般 太压抑 且太长了 很多没必要的桥段完全可以砍掉 然后整部片子就看得特别憋屈 乔治吧 坚守真相 但是怎么看都觉得是个懦弱的男孩子 给的戏份也不多 内心挣扎也很emm令人不适 芭芭拉我就更不能理解 乔治的爹说的那段话很有威慑力吗？那么容易就退出了？前面的坚守成了笑话？最后还面对媒体巴拉巴拉说了那些话 打不打脸啊？政府捂嘴威胁不让说真话 她又何尝不是一个帮凶 这个片子算是完美解释了啥叫“完美受害人” 确实是 太恶心了 巧的是前不久看了卡廷惨案 有相似之处 但是这部相比卡廷惨案就差太多了 都是在暴政下牺牲 这部连点儿希望都看不到 就算是要表现现实的无奈 但是也没必要用160分钟去讲一个如此emm词穷了 反正就不喜欢
波兰人的“黎明到来之前”，明显当时的波兰人仍在睡梦中。
