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.
宝莱坞slay 虽然前面一大半都很烂 但是后面半小时就是没办法 不是说真的拍得好但人家好歹能拍 can you？
氛围感很不错，是恐怖的，确实邪性，也确实有点晦气。不过我唯一的不满还是源自我对伪纪录片的不喜，晃镜头这事我是真的受不了，看着晕。。另外养父也太可怜了叭。。然后就是，我以前以为自己没有很密恐，看了以后觉得我还是挺密恐的。。。。
【7.5】形婚无论在哪个国家，结果都是一地鸡毛。感慨印度已经能拍出这样的LGBT电影了，而在某国通讯录依然是不存在的群体。
印度诶，这是印度诶。。。单从剧作和拍摄上来说，真的没什么好讲的，但是这是印度电影诶。哎
时长再压缩下就更好了。印度都跑在这么前面了
在印度能拍出这种电影 真不错 还是挺自由的 结局应该是算现行制度下的happy ending了
本身充满娱乐性的大纲，作为喜剧足够搞笑的情况下还有一定的突破与升华，而且也顺应了一波印度时政，可以说是非常值得一看了。
印度电影虽然敢拍，但要动辄两三个小时长的电影，实在没耐心看
很好呀 除了中段因为包袱设置得不高级显得有些拖沓，剧本结构和药神差不多的，完成度也很不错了
喜宴后遗症啊，一直担心男女主一时兴起产生出来个baby，还好还好，女主和女朋友真的有点配哎。印度能拍出这种片子来，真的蛮厉害的。
印度电影虽然敢拍，但要动辄两三个小时长的电影，实在没耐心看
拍的一般，印度都开始拍这个题材了啊。女二蛮有味道的
期待吧
我不信鬼神，因为细究就破绽百出。但恐惧肯定会有，人天生就害怕未知嘛！因为看过了评论，所以不跟着剧情走，聊以自保！觉得整体还好，唯一不爽的就是庙里做法的两夫妻交代小女孩不能吃东西女主偏偏忍不住喂了。不然是不是有可能化解？四星是因为这是个认真拍的恐怖片！而且恐怖的点够多，比那些内地垃圾恐怖片好多了！
至少在直面问题，虽然happy ending比较童话
只能说人家真得越来越超前，最后一段很感人。再看看我们这，呵呵
前半段有点慢，后半段的剧情推进特别精彩，观影过程中我特别害怕看到男女主角无奈妥协，好在电影三观没出任何问题，形婚题材拍得真的棒。
连印度都能拍这种片儿了 以及 真是什么题材都能歌舞啊囧
但as一部電影，happy ending總是好的。男主出櫃那刻我也看得很感動。
现实是，大部分人在谎言中担惊受怕。大环境如果改变不了，我就祝愿所有的家庭都有和解的一天。还是蛮喜欢医生小姐姐的颜的。【轴】
