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.
Why fit in when you can stand out?
改编的挺差的。本子抛弃了原作的深度，主演没太大魅力…不太懂为啥让望月作配…
非常棒的主题和点子，可惜剧本很弱，男主拉胯。
起初一半时间有点像青春喜剧，中段开始有点黑暗，估计有悲惨结局，最后一转又变得很正面。十几岁的时候总有许多的渴望和失望，熬过了就有一番新气象。不要轻言放弃。
Rebel Wilson怎么瘦了那么那么瘦了！！无脑喜剧但也传达了重要的信息-why fit in when you stand out?
传统价值观回潮，追求美好追求卓越就是世界上最美的风景线
fat Ammy！好开心的2022。那个男生也太可爱，每套衣服都好好看。
前半部好像是右派諷刺左派，後半部又好像是向左派致敬～
所有的亮点都来自Rebel Wilson吧。再加一点点新千年怀旧的pop culture和Alicia Silverstone的意外出现。
女主角瘦了好多 但她演什么都摆脱不了完美音调里的那个fat amy了
女主更差，五短身材➕大又厚嘴唇，演技又做作
剧情很简单，但是还是挺有意思的，看片尾花絮的时候好开心，喜欢扑面而来的青春感！有时候也想昏迷个二十年在继续读书看看那时候的生活是什么样子的🧐
笑点还是很多的，40岁的身体17岁的灵魂，演技够了，话说怎么女主瘦了那么多啊，原来的形象其实挺可爱的，瘦了偶尔某些角度比较像小雀斑
{5分钟}刻意做那些让人觉得你很酷的事，来得到一些假风光，根本没什么意义，好好充实自己，比较实在
“I should really try and get that perfect life”
真是应了中年少女这个词 表演17岁的心态和动作有些做作 总体上可以接受
挺欢乐的，好似90-00年代小妞电影，好怀念啊
感谢为我的美式高中乌托邦再添一员！这个乌托邦愈发丰满以至于我甚至怀疑自己拥有过两段完整的高中记忆。
天 比意料中好看太多
有些莫名的感动和温暖，也有些一闪而过的思考，影片中对政治正确的嘲讽也让人会心一笑，好像是来自20年前的cheerleader 穿越而来，带来了当年的活力与朝气，没有那么多社会的枷锁，有的是很多年前青春片里的那种随性洒脱奔放自由无畏不羁 标记完看过才注意到，clueless 的女主在里面客串上一任舞会queen ，本片女主的卧室墙上还有《clueless》的海报，梦幻联动啊！
