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.
与瑞茜·威瑟斯彭主演的《涉足荒野》如出一辙，都是自我救赎重新面对社会的一种方式。只不过娜奥米沃茨以54岁高龄出演这样尺度的小制作是否值得？
真的对闹米的选片无语，吃力不讨好那种，剧情太平淡了
loved it
笑死，麦克弗兰西斯评论负零分。说意大利mob从来没和黑人那么打架，也不欺负女人
Naomi女神也老了 挤出来的抬头纹 想起了我妈 / 最后字幕说 he changed her life / 想去雪山hiking 滑雪滑不来 可以走走
主剧的故事情节基本快忘光了，不过这主角年轻时和老了挺像。。。。
情节太单调，支撑不了一部电影。坚持看完。山岳风光不错。
和大泉洋那个错视画的电影的风格好像，连剧情的无聊程度都一模一样，和大泉洋那部电影交换一下主演都可以，藤原龙也喜欢看泡吧侦探所以自己也演了一部差不多的
①storm: a situation in which people suddenly express very strong feelings about something that someone has said or done.
比预想的观感体验要好的电影
演员配置挺好的，可惜电影没有那种虚实难分的感觉，不过挺有趣的。

《黑道家族》的男主角扮演者詹姆斯甘多菲尼在剧集结束七年后因病去世，非常令人遗憾，在本片中扮演东尼小时候的演员正是他的儿子迈克尔甘多菲尼，我觉得这就是对他最好的纪念了，说不定正因为迈克尔甘多菲尼也像父亲一样走上了演员的道路才促成了本片的拍摄呢。
感觉这年头黑帮电影如果没有点火爆的动作场面，或者悬疑的剧情，已经不香了，有点怀旧的味道
剧情能懒得下去但是感觉有点拖。倉田这人不太摸得明白。
这个剧本有新的亮点。。。。用“现在进行时”去推敲一连串看似不相干的事件。落魄主人公小说家的第一人称+现在进行时+三枚假钞引发出一连串环环相扣的情节。一些悬疑推理想象，对于从小就看柯南，金田一或其他悬疑推理小说我倒觉得没有多大的突出亮点。唯一可以推荐的就是用 “现在进行” 的元素贯穿整个情节~~~~观影的代入感很强，太有特色了！！！
有点乱，感觉要说很多个中心但是又戛然而止。
有没有人和我一样一脸懵逼？现实和小说傻傻分不清楚。我家的土屋妹纸身材真浓缩
女主很面熟，查過才知道看過她主演的不少片子，只是她老了好多；
