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.
因为故事局限在单一场景里，甚至场景布置（包括圆楼和旧房间）也离奇得非日常化，越看越觉得适合搬到剧场里，剧本杀亦可对此作进行改编。范伟没有特别好，窦骁没有特别不好，不过就是，人比人得死。摄影跟配乐都很有性格，尤其摄影，很多高空俯视镜头，一幕俯瞰城市夜晚金碧辉煌高架桥，车从屏幕上方垂直向下行驶，犹如在空中行驶，仿佛银翼杀手里面的奇景。
朱珠挺美的，这个故事立意可能不错，有点剧本杀那意思，但总给人一种“还可以更好”的感觉，整体比想象的好。
可以看 但没必要太认真的看 所谓多线索 但用了最简单的单线程 没有剪辑技巧 握着拳头让你猜
一部合格的悬疑片是应该能让观众在剧情反转或关键阶段恍然大悟，或者看完之后带来些许后劲儿的，但很显然，《不速来客》都没做到。古城电影院点映 2021/10/19 1945 4.5分
只能说人贩子真的是罪不容赦的，有时候真的无法想象贩卖妇女儿童的犯罪行为，那样的人还算是人类吗？
为了反转而反转的片子，看了半小时感觉人物和台词立不住，整个故事都很刻意，的确很像剧本杀的感觉。但是我没玩过，所以也没啥兴趣。
非常合格的类型片，最大的优点就是最后剧情没有失控闪崩。
后半段比前半段精彩，虽然瑕疵不少，甚至有几处硬伤，比如深夜爆炸无人报警和巨大冰块如何取出等等，但多线交叉的盖里奇式叙事表现合格，黑色幽默和反转也都产生预期效果。
第一次看到导演栏里这样写着：编剧、摄影指导、导演。一般摄影这项，就算人家鲍德熹杜可风做导演，也不会把摄影（自摄）、编剧（自编）和导演（自导）放在一起列出。虽然摄影很重要，但还真没重要到跟编剧导演并列的程度。
摄影美术不错，就这剧情太单薄了，剪辑有点乱。
开头就给我解释了一个成语，什么TMD叫“掩耳盗铃”！一个贼，知道戴手套溜门撬锁，却进屋就点烟，门外又来了人。你TM居然依靠在沙发背面，关键你头比那沙发还显眼。操蛋！！！！
20211020点映看过，窦骁在结尾送出了全片为数不多的小高潮，其余待补。
52/100。这样的电影说好听点叫充满了情节的不确定性，说难听点就叫得意地刻意制造各种所谓“惊爆点”来试图达到让观众感到不可思议效果的劣质品。除掉交易内容被揭晓那一刻稍稍让人感到一丝震惊和真情流露，剩下的所谓反转则基本上都让人感到无语甚至尴尬，只有偶尔几个点能换来几声干巴巴的笑声。结尾处的“伟光正”虽然可以理解为是屈服于大背景下的无奈，但处理的未免也太粗糙了些，让人觉得前面那虽然外强中干但起码还能撑得住场面的“虎头”接上的是一条已经死了许久连光泽都不复存在的“蛇尾”。总而言之，本片真的肤浅而自以为是。
全员演技在线，国产悬疑片能拍的如此出色，值得鼓励！
密室悬疑剧，虽然每十来二十分钟设置一个反转，但叙事太拖沓了，摄影只会直拍，看得我有点坐立难安。
可以理解为三个版本结局 所有小孩得救 范伟 张颂文 活下来，第二种窦骁杀了所有人 警察来了被捕 其他人都死了，第三种 窦骁拿钱 跑了。
朱珠画完妆还有点像景甜
2/托马斯大回旋式的反转。
迷影情节也好，一些经典借鉴也罢，遗憾的是没什么出彩的惊喜，电影量多一点的基本上中间就能猜到一些结局，所以结尾的和谐也是要有心理准备
有点惊喜！就在一间格局这么小的房子里，七个人上演了一出多次反转的好戏，每条线都像在看一个新故事，值得鼓励~
