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.
还挺喜欢这一部洪尚秀的，日常和巧合，怼天怼地又感情细腻的小说家，像是导演自身理想的投影，对女演员爱意都溢出屏幕了
啾迪就是我心中的大明星。
对于易尴尬体质是一种考验，但不得不说是特别的观影体验。
疫情下的生活不易，很虐心很治愈的观影体验。“小变态”朱迪科默演技不得了，基本上是素颜出镜吧，几次情绪上的爆发太让人心疼。影片以小见大，细节做得非常真实可信，与《中国医生》完全相反的路子，更突出个人，小环境
Judy Comer太美了，演care worker竟然有点出戏；打电话叫不到救护车那段，突然觉得世界变得很小很小；When did our lives stop being worth the same?
83，很久没有看这类电影了，很舒服地看完一个的茫然，90分钟讲述一个逃离遇见知音的故事，“躲”出现了三次，最后遇到女演员时两人有礼貌却不吝啬表达对对方喜爱与欣赏，结尾处，明明设置了提前五分钟的小说家竟没有在外边等候女演员，两人完成了对接，看完电影后面对空无一人走廊女演员失落怅然，最后她也与观众完成交接，消失在荧幕之中。
他的电影倒是让我意识到对日常生活的专注力不够。其实平淡的生活 每一个当下都可以活得很诗意。
最后三分之一没收好，两个人的感情还没有发展到要把他救走的地步，但是却又要强行上升到爱，不管是爱还是友情吧，看到那里我稍微有点别扭。加之最后说教的独白，跟前面拼命塑造一个很“坏”很不负责不会反省错误的女孩形象也不符。前一个小时真的是疫情下很好的注解了。总体还是一个很soft的电影。
年更一部稳输出，带上敏喜欧洲游，拍7分电影拿柏林银熊。
看了挺难过的，这是西方世界的悲哀还是东方世界的赞歌？影片的角度很小很真实，没有任何政治倾向，只是在疾呼：别忘了我们，我们还活着，我们需要帮助。这是我最感同身受的。对于新冠带来的恐惧和压抑，电影的描述和浸入程度要远远超过明灯下东方世界电影里的场景；对人物的描写以及演出，也比东方世界里那种样板戏式的模样更能感染人。
排不进最优档的洪尚秀，但一定是最真挚的洪尚秀。这是写给金敏喜的一封情书。
敢于揭露社会弊端的电影，都是可以细品的好电影
当中那段“No one's coming”的崩溃戏道出了一种全球大流行背景下普遍的心理创伤。这样一部戏，虽然质问的是NHS，但对于那些只允许存在胜利叙事的地方，反而显得更弥足珍贵。可惜结局处理得太刻意、太跳脱了，大大削弱了整个故事的现实感染力。
几度热泪盈眶，是洪给世上最真诚最纯洁最热爱生命的人的礼物
这几部把敏后放在配角的位置是很明智的，但在话题上对我等普通人还是不太友好：创作瓶颈这种困境毕竟遥远，我还停留在投入不足的阶段。不过戳破和尴尬还是一如既往的好玩，也更显遇见另一个自己的难得，这是我能继续看的最大动力。
就还挺喜欢的。金敏喜才是文艺片女王！她好美啊！yebuyo！
敏后的出现和结尾 真的很温暖内心 像是寒风刺骨的秋冬里出现的跳舞的火焰
三星匹配一个“还行”的生活状态 没有那么好 能过下去 有时候歇一歇 可能歇了有一阵子了 规律的散步 然后偶尔遇到一个人 没有准备的就开始拍了一部电影 喝了一场酒 偶然醉一下
以小见大，没有歌功颂德，只是极端情形下普世的渺小无力。柔软的Tony，半夜被叫醒帮病友翻身，在护工面前羞涩地冲淋浴。两个本色口音，Jodie今年真劳模。
20211123le。关于新冠疫情的另一种视角。
