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.
选角某种程度上挺不合理的。就男主这种颜值和气质放哪里不是抢手货，还搁这中年危机被小年轻嫌弃，属实想当然了。不过他个人魅力摆在那里就算剧情很离谱还是忍不住让人花痴脸看下去。开场的聚会现场拍得让人印象深刻，建议导演进军gv界造福观众。
能够感受到他孤独的内心。这个社会对他来说只有责任。而他心底只想有一个家，一片港湾。所以他在炮友身上寻找仅有的一点温暖。所以他会这么不知廉耻的去打扰前任的生活。这是一个漂泊无依的人，就像前几年的我一样。
非常难笑的一部喜剧，为了男主还是硬看完了，全剧也就男同主线是好看的，其他的就很没必要
帅哥禁得起怼脸直拍啊 人到中年满地鸡毛 但生活还是得继续 激情戏唯美 送走女儿之后那段很感人
和情绪稳定的人在一起很重要，看到不对应该转身就跑。忍受了这对父女两小时的情绪波动，很糟糕的观影体验...教不好就不要生...
这父女感觉都非常神经质啊，老爸一把年纪还和小年轻一样迷茫。
看到这位Leonardo就知道稳了，再不行看脸都行// 看得精神疲惫不堪，leo叔美好的肉体都没法舒缓。男主双相障碍（易怒、冲动消费、而又及失魂新年夜或瞬间抑郁、恐慌），母亲明显也有精神疾病，病症的遗传性让女儿状况大概也好不到哪里去，两人的相处时常失控，而又彼此是彼此最后的依靠。躁动的镜头和连续而紧张的弦乐场场惊艳...
编剧水平有限，基本上就是跟着男主到处游荡，然而遇到的一切都是萍水相逢，浮于表面。反而是男主和女儿、妈妈的支线比较动人。不过有颜有肉体，总体还是挺喜欢的。
作。男主是不是有躁郁症啊？真的需要去看一下医生。结局问题也没有解决。另外，他都不用工作的吗？天天闲逛还这么有钱…
在聚会上或啪，或抖奶跳舞，或一起裸着看书。
令人煎熬的电影，导演到底想说啥...我真的好久都没有看过这么尴尬无聊的喜剧片了...散场时候我前排一个大哥还睡得特别香，还是我朋友叫醒他的哈哈哈！(⊙x⊙;)
后半的颓废好像现实人生纪录片一样。这有什么办法，是你心甘情愿傻傻做备胎的😔
原来以为是花束 有反转还是挺好的。总体比较平淡
英语配音还是可以接受的
我可太喜欢看这种小年轻们谈恋爱了。看了介绍发现导演年级很小，果然导演一定也曾经超级喜欢过一个人吧。年轻人总是喜欢讲自己的故事给大家听，我一开始不理解北村为什么流眼泪，后来就理解了，全部好き、好きすぎだから。。。
逻辑呢？小品式姐的笑点，很多东西不交代明白让人看着很难受，最后突然老板跟他爹合作图啥？搞垮对面？那他老板图啥？玩他爹？
是一次用心的拍摄 而且满满诚意 但是剧情还需打磨 期待第二部
怎么可以把情侣间同生共死的情话说的那么清新脱俗呢？
1890。真正的主题其实是父女情。连他女儿都很喜欢的前男友他也没有珍惜，自己一天持帅到处约炮。纯情同志找已婚男士淡感情是没有意义的。家庭，永远才是己婚男同心中的第1位。
最近非常不开心，这个电影有好几处都把我逗笑了，难得~
