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.
Judy Comer太美了，演care worker竟然有点出戏；打电话叫不到救护车那段，突然觉得世界变得很小很小；When did our lives stop being worth the same?
曾看到有人说当电影的创作太偏向文学性不如直接阅读文字，而我认为影像还是有不可否认的自身特性而且这也未尝不是一种电影的出路。总是享受这种电影带给我的感觉。
7分。西方这种抗疫，没办法拍中国式的宏大叙事，所以无论是之前的《流行病》还是现在的本片，来来去去都只能玩这种描绘个人命运的东西，整体来说还是挺套路的。不过本作对于养老院里内容上又拼接了类似《飞跃疯人院》的内容，所以观感上好了不少。说起来男女主之间要说爱情可能有点过了吧~~~英国佬如今完全放开，又是每天好多人了，我是想看看今年冬天他们过~~~
1、用大笑掩饰尴尬，倒也是第一次在洪片中感受到人与人之间的那种微妙时刻；2、认同兔神的观点，灵感枯竭又何妨，能用其他手段表达感受也足够了；3、黑白变彩色、特写都是洪导对于敏后的爱啊，真的是赤裸裸的撒狗粮行为，不过也真是羡慕这样的爱情啊。8/10
演得真棒，中间那段很有感染力。关于新冠题材，其他任何宏大叙事和英雄主义都去他的吧。
洪现在量产片子纯粹为了炫너무예뻐吧，无语了一部赛一部匮乏，一些前作魔力消失得无影无踪。瓣高贵影迷对其他独立导演吹毛求疵对洪百般吹捧的两幅面孔真是腐朽到惹人发笑
真正的灵魂拷问：“When did our lives stop being worth the same？”
能够在商业化创作中保持一份审慎和真诚，这是吉洙和小说家俊熙成为朋友的关键，因为在创作这件事情上，俩人都更注重自身的感受与判断。创作上的没有状态、无法输出、想要跟朋友/这个世界断联的愿望，又何止俊熙一个人呢，影片中她那份笑着自我揶揄的样子，好给我沉重感。很喜欢洪常秀电影中那份对于作品/自我/生活的坦诚与严肃，人与人之间交流时那笑后的认真倾听，自有一番诚意在。喝点小酒又有什么关系呢，生命太长的意义何在呢？敢于对抗生活的空虚与无意义感，好好慢下来感受生活与自我的人，才是最帅气的人。
就冲最后导演在摄像机背后和金敏喜真实互动那一段，值了。那么简单的对话却无比动人，有摄人心魄之感。
来人，把那个硬要扯些故事情节的醉诗人叉出去
互道I love you的时候我被腻到差点当场晕厥
切入点很棒，对准新冠疫情下最脆弱、最容易被抛弃的那群人，不能深刻感受Sarah的绝望，毕竟我们大部分人在疫情严重的时候都被保护的很好，但是知道新冠改变了很多人的命运，让原本就很艰难的成年人的生活变得更加雪上加霜，珍惜当下吧。
兜兜转转一辈子，文艺男女从青年变老，似乎都被岁月磨去了棱角，自己也在大谈从容淡泊，可真意外聚首，骨子里那种偏执又让彼此杠上……旧友老情人怨故交，和新认识的投缘人，只靠收敛在礼仪底下蹭出的有个性台词，诠释着彼此。

电影本身其实一般般，特别是夹带政治吼话实在是有点夸张，但是对比我们的生活，那疯狂的出逃，我们真是太需要了。
