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.
配乐是真好听
奥斯卡伊萨克塑造出的这个形象太迷人。影片呈现了他的忧郁、审慎、沉稳，并告诉观众他的过去是如何在燃烧，却将暴力，丑恶和热烈的一切都隐去，留待想象，正是一种不忍直视。
就算保罗·施拉德一遍又一遍地在重复自己以往的创作那又如何呢？我反正很吃这一套。电影的质感令人着迷，奥斯卡·伊萨克对角色的掌握沉稳且精准，我非常喜欢。
虽然我挺困的，是真困了，但是电影还是好看的，强撑着睡意看完了。
沉闷，Issac和Sheridan正常发挥，故意压平了character arc，反高潮地把能拍动作场面的事件都改成了第三人称叙述。气氛确实到位了，但也确实看得昏昏欲睡。
音乐不错。除此之外，一部无聊的烂片，导演故弄玄虚，可惜很多内容不能引起共鸣。很多枝枝蔓蔓毫无意义。为什么很多人推崇呢，实在搞不懂。烂片。
这故事讲得确实法兰西，但距离法兰西精英还差几个身位
他的这个造型真的有时候看着太奇怪了，感情线也很潦草，吻戏也要嘴角往下撇，像鲶鱼，哈哈哈。男二演的也不好。
剧情过于平淡 ，穿插了臭名昭著关塔那摩监狱 ，虐囚回忆 ，威廉达福客串了 一个小角色 ，并未提高影片的成色 。
搞不懂女主角的存在意义，男二一个就能顶上她的作用。
让我有点想起《第一归正会》。是我喜欢的风格。
赌场精算钱稳赚，自律蒙布尘不染。
这部电影的气质非常迷人，能够让人完全沉浸到保罗·施拉德的故事节奏里，稳、准、酷而且有着足够的沉淀，奥斯卡·伊萨克也是无比正确的选角。四星。
除了男主长得很像卡纳瓦罗，一无是处。节奏缓慢，女配垃圾。音乐还行。
有电影的质感，画面老练，故事本身冲突有点儿突兀
我也想oscar isaac一边骂我一边朝我扔钱
节奏很慢，也并非赌片。静下心来，看到最后，实际上就是内心的反思与自我救赎。不花哨，但沉静有爱。
后面看进去了感觉还不错
两块磁铁没有吸到一起啊 因果殊途不能同归 奥斯卡还能接这样的片子？ 老马丁制片人也不行啊
虽然我挺困的，是真困了，但是电影还是好看的，强撑着睡意看完了。
