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.
原来男主既是导演、编剧又是主演啊，厉害了～很温暖治愈的一部电影，男主是个善良温柔的大暖男，达妹则是一如既往的性感妩媚，节奏轻快情感细腻，台词好玩儿，很适合睡醒午觉的午后时光～
女主非常性感，性感之余有感性的光芒。影片有深度，且点到即止不影响主题。各方面都稍反传统套路，有新奇显得剪辑略"凹凸"，逆大众的套路。自导自编自演，很成功。
太喜欢了，可以说是伯德小姐之后最具有共鸣的成长片，而且适合搭配观看。伯德小姐是高中像大学过度的心境，而这部是进去社会后的心境。
温馨迷人，让人想起第一次恋爱第一次接吻时的忐忑与激动，达妹真的太会撩了，男主略老成，但拥有难以抵挡的可爱。
不一样的 coming of age film。男主真的是宝藏男孩！
不错的温情小品。作为名门之后，达科塔并没有利用成熟稳定的人脉资源，把大量的时间和精力投入商业作品中，还是值得肯定的。表演能力也稳定向上，如果运气好碰到好本子，有机会触摸更高的层面。全片也牢牢的控制在既不左也不右的方向上，看得出男主兼导演是个平和的人，一如片中呈现出的略带本色的表演和为人^_^。
太！难！看！了！so美式so白男视角so苹果 导演是不是拍苹果广告出身的
珍惜所能珍惜
Kissing is for two people to enjoy
杰西·巴克利和罗里·金尼尔的表演称得上精彩。
但老实说，并不喜欢这类故事放在一个天天派对与蹦迪的环境。不过喜欢最后的结尾部分，并不是所有感情的最后都能以坦然释怀、平静告别的方式结束，这是可贵的，尽管这依然充满痛苦不舍。
65/100
3.5 最后一场男人不断繁殖孕育的的镜头，堪称年度最佳惊悚场面。
Cooper长的好像PTA，也和PTA一样喜欢在片子里塞配乐，一个更小成本更青春更简单更没有技巧更朴素的PTA；融化在喝了一杯的不羁夜里，消失在二十多岁的迷茫梦里
少年的成长总是伴着无法言说的痛，这样的独立电影每年来一打好不好。
注定没有结局的恋情 （有结局还能编的合理就四星），没有其他苹果出品震撼我了
fucking soulmate，男主确实很cute，但最后女主好像没必要讲什么“你的人生还很长blabla”讲两次吧，管你屁事，可能人家只是为了好好告别，感觉我的视角都已经不正常了，sad
7.5/10分
也许他们真的爱过彼此，但是现实面前不堪一击，这就是青春的代价，也是成长的经历
成长的烦恼，丝滑又不狗血，男主太暖太sweeeeeet了喂！！
