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.
你看，男人招🐓不用前戏，女人买🦆还要先过心里这一关，男人完事拉起裤子走人，女人事后还要更深层次的探讨，一些个两性鸿沟。多一星给男主美好的胴体。
值得反复观看。爱自己，接受自己原本的样子。
节奏很紧凑，在一个小空间内能把一个互帮互助的紧急事件演的幽默又感动。
2021M79/9.0 善意就是哲学最终的那个点
两位主演的表演也很精彩。Emma的眼神，肢体动作等等把角色的情绪展现得细腻至极，而leo从一开始的神秘到后面的情绪暴发过渡也很自然。
Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me. Aren't you?
啊我真的有被男主帅到…尤其抿嘴笑的时候，但是明明整体一眼看过去不是我喜欢的类型啊！怎么回事！
倒数第二场戏之前两星，问题不在于舞台设计有多么简陋，而是每个主要演员都拥有两个及以上的核心角色，导致本就停留太短的情绪根本没有渲染的空间，故事的阴暗面也被简单略过，直到最后才能感受到那种被历史车轮碾过的无力感，也与当下产生了共振。
三颗半星。情节中规中矩，有点太zz正确，虽然看到后面还是有点感动的。
编排得很好，可惜歌曲稍微有点弱。主题虽然再熟悉不过，但故事确实温暖而细节丰富。
看得我哭哭笑笑的，她牵动我的一丝一毫的情感，笑她的尴尬，哭她的难过，感觉自己也在一点点把包裹的外壳撕开一丝口子。还记得他告诉我，你对自己要求太高了。我总是浑然不觉。我又总是处在矛盾中。但他也告诉我这个过程要自己度过，可以借助帮人的帮助但仍要有自己的力量。接纳自己，接纳真实的自己！他告诉她你可以的，然后变成，她告诉自己你可以的。然后不为了外在的标准放下judge 的态度，正视自己也正视别人。放松，我也学不会的放松。当我看到她真的放松下来，一方面为过去的生活哭泣，一方面为获得前所未有的自由而愉悦。自由，精神的自由，就是生命力的释放。我爱她最后面对镜子里衰老的自己，那亮晶晶的眼神。她不愧是这个世界上我最爱的女演员！
QAQ 再看一遍，还是stop the world最戳我 时间好快啊
没想到有一天，我也会对这种配置的影片内心毫无波澜甚至有点乏了。浪漫会在生活中出现吗
封闭空间的作品毫无疑问人物要设置对，一个近乎理想化的秘密情人 一个教宗教学的假哈姆雷特式中学老师，有揭露回忆有矛盾有和解，剧作上节奏也是极好 至少不无聊。问题就在于性与道德这个脱不了干系两角，就如同后面打破幻想一般，你不知道你眼前这个人他会如何重塑你们当下的行为呢，而如此避谈，一是篇幅的确展不开，二则是暴露了作为寓言体去讨论但实则是灌输的形式。由此必然要考虑所谓的人物设置，也由此暴露了他所为新精品电影以保守中产女性作为目标这一属性，消解那些所谓“性化”的元素是为了否定性的承认先验的观点—我们都难以享受性并且性是生命源泉，而输出这一观点最大的悖论就在于排除一切社会因素却又必要的让人在社会中渴望它，排除必然的社会性却又妄图在真实中引用此种虚幻，而它女性向的打法最后只会失落于真实想象中
比之前听Ost强太多了，很美式正能量，基本把音乐剧的特质展现得淋漓尽致，群像故事表现那么流畅，个体性格又很鲜明，主旋律节拍好好听(但不到洗脑的地步)，一切都注定这是一部成功的作品。有掉眼泪，在机长故事和消防员母亲那里。
我只想说四个字，职业素养。虽然有点鸡汤，但互相以温暖，互相以分享。暖心又有趣。
① 我旗帜鲜明地拥护将这项服务变成公共事业 ② 豆瓣简介真的有点裹小脚了，Sex Worker就是性工作者，没必要说是性心理治疗师 —— 心理治疗师不用自己身体治疗别人，是用谈话，好吗？ ③ 这部戏虽然都在室内，却很注重人物关系之间的情绪流动，这情绪不止是欲望、连接，还有我最喜欢的一部分 “冲突”。它讲的故事其实本质上是不要惧怕冲突，冲突过后是有可能走向更自我接纳、放松和彼此知道对方的界限后的自由。 ④ 我觉得其实它把2个人之间的故事说好就可以了，野心大了一点，涉及到育人和代际，就有点隐没了主线了。但瑕不掩瑜，依然是一部难得的以女性主体视角为唯一角度的佳作。
好棒的小品啊，在极其有限的空间里，治愈了两段生活。
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。
看完感觉自己也是个confident independent strong woman
