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.
又一部“COVID-Inspired”的电影，远胜过去年的“Death to 2020”，对人类的思考、合作能力的极大嘲讽，也对美国政治、撕裂的美国的社会极尽嘲讽之能事，人们大概可以从这样一部荒诞、闹剧但又饱含批判意识的作品里get a glimpse into a possible future：两年的大流行提供了太多素材，在气候问题面前，全球合作因各国无法弥合的分歧举步维艰......很难否认该片不是给人类的inevitable doom做了一个虽然简化但不乏预言性的描绘。梗太多（尤其是川普梗），几乎从头笑到尾，但看到片中最后那一幅幅绝望、动乱、宗教仪式、爱、美丽的地球生灵、森林、海洋.......画面的快速更迭，不禁泪流。
又贵又臭又长，有请广电局来剪下吧。黑到世界末日，结局好看。★★/4.7
不是讽刺，也没有黑谁，这就是正在上演的现实。
它的特别之处在与脑洞，讲的是两个天文学家发现了一颗彗星将要撞上地球，他们要把这个消息告诉全世界，却遭到了政府、媒体、资本家的连番阻挠，当然这之中最大的阻力或许还在于民众本身，他们沉迷于撕逼、站队、阴谋论，低头盯着手机，就是不肯抬头看看天空，直到世界末日的那天……
如此肮脏的同时又如此动人，这一姿态必须也只能由好莱坞来做出。因为成功就是这样一个迷人又危险的双车道，越是在周身灿烂的喧哗中，就越是轻易失足掉入自毁的审判，而这一方程式本身又是根深蒂固地进入世界的明证。当然没什么好笑的，因为曾经笑得出声是因为人类尚有条件挥霍，而当下任意再多一个荒谬都不再让人有心忍耐。如果不能确凿地指出一条建立的小路，那么电影当然有权蹩脚且绝望地上演摧毁。
娱乐性不错。虽然低级黑让人感觉很不满足，但依然羡慕你美可以低级黑的自由。
甜茶好好看 只要鼻子好看+清晰的下颌线 人就不会丑到哪里去
一開始看著像喜劇，再看一看諷刺力度像黑色喜劇，再往下看這他媽是虛構現實主義啊！！！人類用樂觀包裝膽怯，用自信包裝自大，最終只能說「好死」。
原以为会是彻头彻尾的软科幻，没想到还真被片尾“直给”的硬核科幻秀到了，非常喜欢将荒诞进行至最后一秒，映射了荒诞至极就是真的道理。
我愿称之为这几年的讽刺疯癫之最，每一个情节都砰砰打出窟窿眼，最终一起灭绝要多爽有多爽。但从想简单活着的角度来看，我还是只求这个丧到笑出声的电影吧，他就永远只是电影的好…
说这是第一个敢拍末世结尾的电影还是看得太少，没看过拉斯冯提尔的《忧郁症》吧？剪辑保持了亚当迈凯一贯的水准。中间的部分讽刺段落不错。甜茶的角色设计算是个惊喜，小李子没了拿奖执念后表演反而更好了。看预告片就猜到结尾和大部分过程，不过这不是最大的问题，最大的问题是这片的讽刺性本就是它自身讽刺的对象，而且归根结底，《不要抬头》的讽刺还是西方中心主义的讽刺。
讽刺意味极强，简直是美丽国的照妖镜，导演也是太敢写敢拍了！
alex的2021最佳之一

就算我们能预见历史，也不会阻止它发生。就像即将到来的会议，也许是某场毁灭性灾难的起点，然而人们鼓舞欢腾。。。
your diet is over
好莱坞总算在川普卸任后找到了一点回应这个时代的技巧。与其说挖苦右翼的无知是意料之中，那么自嘲左派的无能与自我感动也许就是情理之外了。为什么左派在很多议题上占据了所谓的“正义”却always lose。也许这个世界就应该被毁灭吧。
放弃思考的电影，放弃思考的时代，几乎是属于“故意犯错”的电影（指电影层面，非内容层面），甚至从一开始就没有想让人类得救。有近几年主流电影里最令人印象深刻的剪辑——嘲讽的、变幻的、跳脱的、宏大的、疯狂的、感性的，但从来都不是理性的。
其实让人印象最深刻的是剪辑，真的胆子挺大的
看完只能说哇哦，原来把现实拍出来就成黑色幽默了，「我只想把事实说出来，怎么就成犯罪了」
