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.
剧情真的很拖沓，动不动就慢镜头。。。讲的点太多，倒是反转很无聊，不如拍连续剧吧。只能说三星的一星给题材吧
虽然但是无解啊，结尾也没有说啥，就是希望之🔥可以燎原么？
要先把问题摆上台面，然后才有通过现代文明途径解决的可能性。

真正难的是起树疙瘩，当你把地面挖开，那张复杂的脉络才显露出冰山一角来。你觉得树根在地下可能只有半米见方大小，但无数条树根可能已经延伸到数米远的地下，跟土壤紧紧得结合在一起。
节奏有点慢，观点蛮尖锐，印度政府还比较自由啊，这也能上映
量太大太撑了，印度电影就这点让我有点水土不服
反转确实没想到，民意是真的很好被操作，三哥真敢拍，方方面面的黑暗都涉及了，而我们只能看看。
导演和编剧尽了最大的努力将一个如此宏大、深刻、复杂的问题结构化地叙述和表达出来。结尾稍显仓促和混乱，但瑕不遮瑜，敢拍能拍这才是最重要的。
最后律师啥情况没整明白，警察那段搞清楚了。好烦，拍的如此隐晦。
问题是，现在这把锄头去哪儿找呢？
用一个案子把好几个社会问题串联起来，而且还有个特酷的反转，着实牛逼。电影里面的四首曲子编曲水平随便拉一首出来都比国内的主流抖音神曲强不少。
媒体确认真相，警察执法，社会还会向着更好的方向发展吗？
最油膩的其實是配樂，但不妨礙在國產電影維度交出了一份好的成績。對於習慣逃避真實城市風情和缺乏中產描繪的中國商業電影，那份在地性和不做作都挺珍貴，最喜歡的是一些對白的subtext寫法以及結尾周野芒的solo演出，情緒高潮竟是由副線周野芒一人完成，且並不失效，這其實滿破格。兩岸三地女性新導演們在文本角度碾壓男導演們幾乎已是客觀事實。
一堂社会学教研课，期待第二部
更因为那段罗马往事的长篇独白，
良心面前，没有少数服从多数的法则。阿三也开始和棒子一样敢拍了，然而，那又怎样。
前半段节奏太慢，甚至过于拖沓……直到律师的出场才开始步入正题，氛围紧张起来，高潮接踵而至，层层反转实在过瘾，尤其是在扎实的剧本和台词下，几何倍数地放大了题材的优点。
这是个操蛋的世界，还好可以从电影里找到希望，看到未来。
我的天老爷啊，直到最后一刻仍在反转，真的震撼，真的感动，老师实在太太太太太温柔而强大了，我真的会因为失去她而感到伤心的……ps：看完之后深刻反省自己，因为在律师出来之前，我也被误导了，站队了警察，但很快真相被揭穿，我又对警察感到愤怒。然而直到最后一刻，我才意识到，操纵情绪是如此简单的事情，让子弹飞一会，不要让情绪控制自己…
