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.
还是尬的时候比笑的多，还是挺尊敬魏翔这名演员的，他和这个角色真的太有共鸣了
【5.5+1】
我笑不出来……最后结尾的彩蛋都比正片搞笑😐。所以这个电影是魏翔演艺事业奋斗史的缩影？男人真的太自恋了🤗
吹得那么邪乎，结果就是个这。现在看电影跟开盲盒一样吗？
话剧电影，除了插曲《天才白痴梦》有记忆点，别的一塌糊涂
笑死了，全程都在考你的观影量，反正我只答出了：两杆大烟枪，发条橙，楚门的世界，雨中曲，低俗小说，教父，赌神，lalaland，荒野大镖客，杀死比尔，功夫，海上钢琴师，还有很多看着眼熟叫不出片名的。
和家人去看的，非常搞笑，没有刻意煽情和低俗梗，甚至雨中曲的那段小致敬让我非常惊喜
一场献给所有龙套演员的电影，想说是喜剧之王，但还是喜剧之郎。
2.5 前半段大致按原作拍了个表面，后半段开始胡编乱造，显得混乱，也没有高潮，这让我的期待落空。看完不知道电影表达了什么，不过确实有点好笑，但这笑点不是剧本自身引发观众忍俊不禁，而是单纯靠演员的表演和台词刻意来“逗”乐观众，所以我阅后即忘，也说不出哪里搞笑了。私心来说，看着本片再想起原作的妻夫木聪、深津绘里，这落差让我笑不出来。
还行，挺好笑的，笑点大概有十几处。看个乐呵。
没有开怀大笑，只有浅浅地冷笑。是的，有点low，不管是场景，还是剧情。
该怎么去评价这种电影呢？我觉得每个人的周围都有那些很努力但不是特别有天分的人，不过正是因为他们的努力，他们会比an average person高一点点，会有自己的审美，会有自己的迷影情结，会有自己特别接地气的内容输出，他们作品不是给那些精致的观众看的。挺好的，非常轻松的一部电影，开开心心的两个小时。
三星半吧，知道是改编的时候就想着原来的画面质感，应该很适合开心麻花这样的舞台剧感觉，果然第一幕缓缓拉近就有那味儿了。这个杀手也很适合魏翔，看到片尾魏翔的感谢还是很感动的，该火起来了。
戏中戏，很有趣。这才是贺岁档该有的样子，笑点密集，过年开开心心就完了。
纯纯一个放大版的舞台剧，布景无比的假，剧情也实在夸不出来，我不是一个笑点很高的人，但是在看这部电影的时候是真的一点笑都挤不出来，后期完全看不进去。一星给那对老父母。
没办法进入设定，《一年一度喜剧大赛》里最差的那一档差不多
全程无笑点，谁看谁上当。作为核心创意的戏中戏情节的设计也很糟糕，看到后面直犯困，完全不关心剧情如何走向。同类喜剧片推荐大红包、扬名立万等。
已经不能用无聊来形容了 当然也必须承认 喜剧的成功比悲剧要难太多了
09年的我还是太年轻，竟然因为没看懂魔幻时刻的片头就没看下去，不然今天也不用浪费时间看翻拍了。给四星是因为男主演技不错。
至于影片本身没啥可说的，不“电影”，但很“中国”——能将纯粹日系的异域故事，借元电影的名头提练出来，辅以成功学内核及标准小品化的信息差笑料，居然真的攒出了一部票房爆款。我不佩服审查，不佩服资本，不佩服艺术，我佩服的只有中国电影人那死猪不怕开水烫的顽强生命力。戏外比戏内更值得揣摩，这才是专属于这片土地的魔幻时刻。
