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.
论一部剧情简单的西部剧为何拍的这么有嚼劲，归根结底角色人物塑造成功对于一部电影是多么重要！国内就是差这个
儿子很有天赋，只不过传奇老爹不想让他走自己的老路。
人物塑造相当成功，瘦削干瘪，一个眼角耷拉着。
孩子，你埋你舅舅了吗？
一百多年前的枪法真是神奇不🉑琢磨，也不用猜，反正主角不会死的太早。
當今為數不多的西部片成長的故事 後傳奇時代 「這個世界變了 你可以看看」
其他都不错，就是小孩太干净了！根本不像一个没了妈的农场孩子……更像流量小生乱入。枪战场面安排略微随意了一些……
少年去流浪，老爹先埋葬。血在你身趟，世界不一样。
老派西部风格就是话从不表达完整但枪法一定要准
全片简洁不拖沓，最后的枪战有种回到老西部片的感觉。不过西部片真的没落了，也只能挖些老素材拍了。
别惹农民阶级，里面藏龙卧虎
很“西部”了（虽然爹爹发现了天空中有飞机飞过的直线穿帮了） 2021.11.5
新时代的西部牛仔片很有味儿 算是比利小子的外传？没有看过 补补课
内心里免不了跟不可饶恕比较，衡量半天也只能在下不才搪塞过
笑死个人，一个冷门电影的短评还有人复制粘贴，给你俩点赞，让复制粘贴的火出圈。
Billy the Kid! 有传统西部片的风骨～
悠长的音乐，广阔的外景，舒缓的节奏，传统的西部片。
这未来和平了就没有主义了
像 小人物似的 英雄隐于市井,农场.故事讲的还可以,节奏也挺好的, 平平淡淡,又能吸引人看下去, 一直在猜警察是不是真警察??虽然反转都能猜出来.
4星。很酷，在父亲节和父母一起看的父亲的电影
