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.
差点睡着…迷迷糊糊的时候洞里的人吹了两下哨子，醒了。
意式乡村风光大赏 aka睡眠挑战 我的北影节终于开始了...
1、【On Your Mark（望着妈妈）】
个中心酸只有当事者知道，可惜大多数人都是悲剧收场，并不顺利。★★★/6
全片没有台词只有声效推进，从洞口不断下探687米。随着勘探的终结，老人的生命也走到了尽头，是电影语言的比兴，是诗意。
从主角到配角，演员们的表现都很好。苏桦伟的前后两个扮演者很棒，可以说整个片子里没有谁的演技拉垮，必须多给一星。
服了，想睡半天睡不着，跑楼下吃了个肉夹馍，肉夹馍还死难吃。想要保存原本世界的电影或者照片永远不如世界本身，艺术假一点儿才好看
好好的題材和故事非要用心靈雞湯的拍法，前半部尬得我差點想棄了，後半部好一些，但仍舊逃不掉煽情的戲碼。另，又是一個沒爹的故事。
确实是妈妈的神奇小子，庆幸苏桦伟有爱好有特长，更多的残障人士确实淹没在人群。
香港电影怎么了，以前拍底层拍小人物，香港电影是top级别的，这是怎么了？？？这么好的题材，导演甚至不愿意好好塑造人物
旧世界灵光的消逝。凡人的一切语言、表情和心理活动都让位于动作，即与洞真正产生互动的部位。只是剪辑过于平淡，一成不变的节奏不是一般地难熬。
太牛逼了，15min看进去之后越来越有意思。感觉生命真的延长了3倍。
容易被忽视的佳作，既感人也太好哭了。最难忘扮演苏桦伟的三位不同年龄段的“神奇小子”，他们每个人都奉献了牛叉闪闪的炸裂演技，而这又不仅仅是演技那么简单，只因苏桦伟独一无二的人生极具魅力与传奇色彩。想起另一部《岁月神偷》，电影表面上是讲儿子的成长，实际上幕后灵魂人物一直是苏妈吴君如（影后级别的表演），要不是她几十年如一日的默默承担付出与鞭策，打破世界纪录与世界冠军的传奇也根本无从谈起。而往更远处看，苏妈与她的神奇小子一路跑来的成长经历，这明明就是一个大写的“香港精神”——不服输，不妥协，永远相信自己，逆境中乐观坚强，挺起胸膛与命运赛跑，Get Set, Go!
很好看！！吴君如只要站在那里角色就立起来了！草根感觉浑然天成！梁仲恒的表演也很棒！希望两位都能拿到金像奖吧～
BJIFF/寰映/竟然比我想的好看很多。伪纪录片式故事片。
只是冯老师把我的胳膊睡麻了~
三星半，为银幕而作的影片，人类这该死的好奇心
确实是妈妈的神奇小子，庆幸苏桦伟有爱好有特长，更多的残障人士确实淹没在人群。
"你天生残废没人会怪你，只会怪我。"
BJIFF 第八场。寰映合生汇一生黑，为了商业活动换了我好不容易抢来的杜比厅场，换的厅还生生少了两排让一大帮人没找到座，真的无语。。。
