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.
演员都是蛮好的 就是故事弱了点，好有尹正演的太用力了
不管方式多么逗乐，悲剧终究是悲剧；不管怎么掩饰反转，伤痛依旧是伤痛。你以为是民国，其实就是现在。
回头看看是哪一位导演出手。
寸土寸血的主题，满满当当的战斗，偶一细腻的情感，互不兼容的败笔。
有幸观看首映，且不说抗美援朝精神带来的感动和震撼，单说这部电影本身，观感非常非常爽，此前最为担心将近三个小时的时长会拖沓和让人疲惫，但176分钟看完绝对还是意犹未尽，甚至找不出任何尿点。必须说这是国产电影史上最牛逼的战争片，制作绝对不输任何国际大片。最棒的是战争戏，除了令人震撼的视觉效果和大场面之外，难得将节奏也拍得逻辑条理清楚收放自如，全程紧张握紧小手。陈凯歌把控的人物塑造也非常好，寥寥几笔主配角性格都塑造得非常生动，还有车厢外万里江山的浪漫，没有刻意煽情但赚足了眼泪。各位主演也都稳稳的。
三老也没说要复仇啊，至少凶手也没被折磨得不成人形？
外觀上是多線敘事和鬧劇/兒戲向的懸疑片，其精彩之處在於對於歷史和現實（包括電影史和電影的現實）的辛辣指涉與調侃，持續溢出了類型片的套路——儘管某種真實的“歷史感”仍是影片的弱環，但應當意識到必須將敘事時間設定在歷史中，實則是影片創作者的一條退路。從成片看，在提升影片戲劇性方面，導演顯然是受惠於（而非受制於）網絡短劇的製作經驗，其逐步加入電影界的歷程也指出了在新媒體時代的中國導演成長的一種道路。在影像社會學的層面上，影片表現出對於影像（包括視頻影像和攝影）在記錄歷史、保全真相上的重要意義的深刻篤信，以及對於敘事行為（故事/講述）的極大懷疑。2021年11月13日13:30於盧米埃合生4號廳。
并不是喜剧，剧本质量是不错的，看的令人窒息。张本煜的演技是出乎意料的好。
国产佳作，最后的底很好。那个关于火苗的金句肯定会留下的。
先说缺点，在电影里有些片段有些刻意煽情，另外战斗场景不够真实，集体冲锋时候哪能搞这种密集冲锋，看得我都急死了。
刘循子墨的处女作竟然还不错！演员选得便宜但也恰到好处。剧本作为类型片逻辑没问题，两个地方，一个是布景有浮光，不够真，一个是剧作小聪明（嘎吱乐）有点多，算是万合天宜的传统艺能。韩寒和万和关系还真是不错，很看好啊！
还不错，刚开始让人摸不着头脑，从中间开始渐入佳境，质感确实有些像剧本杀，但是总是莫名感觉哪里有点刻意了
电影剧本杀。当事人自己都不愿意揭开的疮疤，就埋了吧。| 喜剧和悬疑结合还是有一定难度的，尚算不错。
词汇匮乏 词汇匮乏 本质上是我对战争片无感吧
近两年从金刚川，到1950，到长津湖。这次感触最深。外公也是19岁上的现场，也会怕疼，也会调皮，也会想家。
永怀感恩，感恩你们
并不是喜剧，剧本质量是不错的，看的令人窒息。张本煜的演技是出乎意料的好。
3.3星。太书卷气的剧本了，反转显得刻意，全员舞台剧风格的台词腔很出戏，全片从头到尾都不是很自然。拍电影，现实一团糟也要拍出理想主义，这一点很好。但是片子就，有点无聊。
挺有意思的，细节做的很好。尹正有点胖的变形了啊，几个演员都挺有意思。
太惨烈了，我知道真实的战场只会比这更惨烈，珍惜今天的美好生活，致敬英雄们！
