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.
一个比一个好，单论最后的故事有打五星的冲动。75
严重过誉的一位导演。从欢乐时光到这部完全没能摆脱那套死板僵硬的讲述方式，形式上搞点噱头，加一堆生拉硬扯神经兮兮的台词。自己的风格体系完全没发展起来，太多他人的痕迹。别吹什么候麦，就洪尚秀和伍迪艾伦的水平，他也够呛。
短篇小说剧作家啊！滨口写对话和互文太强了，选的演员也灵动。这不比夜以继日好？文学性这么强，有什么必要学韩国男拍三角恋？滨口的文本能力如果展开了，能把洪尚秀吊起来打。再来一次超好，为了不错过地靠近彼此两者都在扶梯上上上下下，编程师失业的未来，元戏剧，两人在对话，关系中隐身的另外两人却呈现在彼此身上......开着的门（黎，是你吗）在教授办公室的部分，色诱文学教授却被教授的某种文学折倒，朗读的内容与实施的行动成了完美的互文，两人之间亦师亦友的对话展现出文学教授真文学，不是草包，女人是真突出，不是自命不凡。两者的欲望得到确认，引诱以另一种形式完成，阴差阳错导致正确后果又耻又日式。要硬要拿洪尚秀来碰瓷，也只有三角关系的尴尬比较相似，而且洪尚秀太直男了......
手法略显稚嫩，但还是被贾玲的真诚所打动。
像是一个没有耐心铺陈情节的小说家拍出的故事。还是自恋了点。
近年看过最好的新日影了。刚看完觉得四星，回味后改成五星。每个故事都喜欢，充满了对个人的观察、体贴、理解，虽然明知导演创作了一切，却又毫无上帝视角感，体会不到丝毫创作者的自大。第一部的古川琴音你人生中一定会遇到，第二部的文学式诱惑与古典结局，第三部对美丽错误的珍惜与想象，都是何等大气又何等细腻。多一些这样的电影就好了。
最小情节里的最大张力，可以反反复复掰开看每一个小节，没看过这么好看的短片集。就算视觉风格上让人某些瞬间想起过洪尚秀，但很快超越了他。滨口龙介在演员的审美上太太太独特了，服气
正在我哭的直抽搐时，后座的一位阿姨来了一句：这有什么可哭的？？？
再来一次：在客观现实上架起的想象带来意外惊喜，难言之爱通过一种另类的方式沟通和交互。个体的需求在时间的抽离之后撞见了特定的命运，带来无穷韵味。
开着门也可以是期待奇迹的降临与发生。
☆：4+
从导演水平来看 绝对算得上很专业的了，没想到能排出这个效果，故事笑中带泪，代入感很强，值得一看。
稀烂的翻译也没能太影响对文本的理解（几个月来重复听了三遍柯南现在我居然能听懂一丁点日文了）。以为是沉重的，意外地却又轻盈，感觉像是村上写的那个被养乐多燕子队投手扔到空中飞行的棒球⚾️。看完让人想写小说。
很有趣，但感觉倒也不必和里维特比较？滨口往往让我感觉不够松弛（当然这并不能说是一个缺点，松弛可能也并不是他要达到的效果），所以会觉得呈现出来的效果是偶然不足而想象过剩...比如在咖啡厅，一个推镜头，剪辑，离开的两人再次出现，这对我来说更像是魔术而不是魔法。当然我也没法说魔法是什么（相对来说，第三部分的“你快乐吗”就像是一句真正的咒语！），但我直觉感到我喜欢的电影和滨口的作品还是有比较大的差异。要具体说的话，要拍出租车后座两个女孩的对话，滨口就像这样直视她们，而我大概会选择从后座拍摄司机。司机的脸绝对不能出现。
绝妙的zoom in，现实的合法性在此间轻微震荡，宣誓了虚构是魔法、是打开遮掩的门、是不断重来。
利用谈话的层层递进直抵人心。我好喜欢zoom in啊哈哈哈！
太舞台剧了，1、3几乎是台词练习。“错位”，2有趣，3天桥扶梯想起蔡明亮。这两年为什么捧滨口龙介？这人看起来会出某些丑闻
一部拉长的小品，我是因为马东在奇葩说上说他哭成狗去看的，结果，只能说真不是我的泪点。
发现了三章都有"名字"引发的"偶然". 果然女性的感情特别细絮.
第三個故事滿分，轉角拾回的對方和自己。前兩則四星。古川琴音看起來太小了，25歲像15歲一樣，總覺得中島步在向未成年下手。
