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.
终于不用再看#爱而不得#私定终身#抓小三#守活寡#生是你的人死是你的鬼#这种老掉牙的破烂爱情片了，爱情的理想形态难道不是这种开放式的多人家庭吗？聚是一团火，散是满天星，肉体开不开放咱另说，先把精神打开，酒杯碰起来，心里话唠起来！
值得鼓励了。
+0.5 不喜欢散装叙事，但肯定影院需要这样的电影。舒适的观影体验，不太成熟但不带工业感的行云流水太难得了。离别的悲伤刚刚好，读不进费里尼的大众仍一样，让期待着大道理和深层次观众落空去吧。不是那种导演按头接收信息的电影，所以某一观众的如何不认可、无共鸣之类都不会对另一有过多影响：荧幕里的桃花源就留在荧幕里不好吗？老拿现实抨击他干什么
没有人在上海和你聊费里尼。/ 纽约独立电影的外衣，包裹几位主演十多年来交错饰演过的国产电视剧内核，打磨出一个豆瓣&小红书（重叠）用户趣味的都市爱情小品。那些常见的文艺中年，如老乌不合时宜，似老白不忍断舍离，不管「为谁辛苦为谁忙」，仍渴望「红拂」「夜奔」，拼命抓住罗曼蒂克的尾巴。取景地亲切，全程沪语是特点也是牢笼。（如果主演设定为沪漂，人物故事更加多元立体，或许会更好。）吴越真实自然；倪虹洁在KTV唱歌到关门一瞬的黯然神伤，呈现了可能目前为止最好的演技。徐峥演上海中年男人，已是炉火纯青。周野芒完全沪上「白相人」爷叔本叔，餐桌独白太惊艳！那年跑去法国留学，没有说出口的事儿或许比爱情更神话？ 结尾似《维莉蒂安娜》，也像《访谈录》，用俗世消解神话，延缓罗曼蒂克的消亡，一种“爱具体的人”之诠释。6.5
剧作蛮有趣，灵动，巧思，整体感很强，不造作，不拧巴，自自然然，清清爽爽，沪地方言来得情趣十足，幸好国内还有人能拍出这种生活流的作品，抓住生活断面和速写人物神采，马伊琍、吴越、倪虹洁三个女主角，以及周野芒饰演的老乌，其实比徐峥更精彩，老白这个人吸引女人喜欢的地方还没完全拍出来。虽然大多数爱情故事里，神话稀缺，笑话遍地，但还是要相信爱情啊混蛋们！
可惜我太穷，不然会更爱。
迷住了戏里戏外的所有人。
两万五的赎金不会将土耳其抵达，方可书写她此时此刻的有钱有闲状态最佳；
音乐也是，宁波话歌曲虽然惊艳，但不太上海。英语歌很不正宗，网红店爱用的，哎败笔。
沪漂导演装腔指南，集合了外地人对于 “沪上精致生活”的各种浪漫想象。当轻松的情景喜剧看看还行，有些讨巧的小机灵小幽默能让人会心一笑，但脱掉日常、烟火气的轻薄伪装，内里依然是国产影视作品那股熟悉的真空感悬浮感。所谓中年爱情也无非是找了群中年组演员来演都市肥皂爱情，最关键的是谁TM想睡徐峥啊？！
爱情在哪？神话在哪？也就只有索菲亚罗兰扣题了（这是诽谤）。。。
乘兴而来，败兴而归。本以为本片可与《万箭穿心》相提并论，结果竟然跟韩寒导演作品相差仿佛？沪语竟能成为烂俗电影的遮羞布，蔚为奇观焉。强行透过台词 politically correct, 难道不是一种刻奇？
一般，很平淡的剧，没啥起伏，有点无聊。上海话听多了，有点头疼
中年人的情感，没有明确开始的信号，也不会有戛然而止的结束，即使说好不见，就算离婚或死去，也都不会轻易结束，像极了绵绵不绝的生活一样，一天接一天，一年接一年。
有点李安有点伍迪艾伦但绝对是上海自成一派的元宇宙，在爱情和人际关系中撩拨还与电影互文呈现绝佳的幽默和巧思，剧本和台词都打磨得相当精细，几个演员的演技也高度在线还有不少对电影乃至艺术的揶揄和致敬，很难不喜欢了，国产电影很让人耳目一新的尝试和进步。
导演给自己刷三条5⭐可以吗？
3上海有这种腔调的修鞋匠么 真实么 你告诉我 在哪
看电影前看到有人做BGM整理的我：不至于吧；看完电影的我：下午那个帖是在哪儿看到的来着？？
最好一场戏是两男三女第一次围桌，
3.5蛮轻盈的都市生活小品。影院坐了一半笑点低的上海阿姨，伴随全程方言评论音轨，恨不得进到戏里轧一角儿。
