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.
以科幻外衣为包裹的家庭亲情片，感情线没问题，展示的未来科技也没问题，就是有点担心这种医学伦理，黑科技容易被人滥用吧？
丈夫虽然粗鲁，但却能为妻子的清白而舍命一战，不愧为男人
大本金发看起来智商不高的样子。
14世纪的一桩强奸案，超强的卡司，三个视角的叙事，最后扣人心弦的决斗。有时想，不知同样的故事发生在古代中国会怎么样，大概其不会有决斗，也许女主会自尽，或者是男主一怒杀了奸夫。几个主演的表演都很棒，影片色调也很有味道，明显调成了暗色，尽量去除了彩色的鲜艳感，让人看去有古旧的味道。
强暴不会怀孕。陈腐的偏见规条真是可笑又可恨。
刷放映表偶然看到的老雷新片，很驚喜。故事簡單但是半重複的敘事依然吸引人，老雷打造出的中世紀令人嚮往。
年度剧情迷惑大赏，老爷子投机取巧的拍摄方式让观众很难从不同的角度上得出有价值的线索去判断剧中人孰是孰非，也许是因为女权这个主题太敏感，也许是因为我还是太浅薄了，啥也没看出来……
世另我的故事，其实本来已经达成了超越死亡的不朽，当然也不可能跳出属己之物，所以爱理应会消失，不过实际上故事从开篇非己的巧克力误会开始，一直到结尾的爱人与孩子结束，都是在跳出主角自己讲他人和真·世另我，爱被保全与爱的延续之一体两面，真是触人心弦，这恐怕也是技术有价值和善的正确发展，而非科技恐惧那种无甚卵用的批判，阿里的表演也相当棒，学院应该给些表示。
刚看完觉得为女性发声，服化道不错，表现手法新颖，忍不住叫好。睡了一觉醒来想想，三个视角但不是罗生门，导演的意图太明显了，用明示和暗示来表达自己的观点，让人很容易总结中心思想。
如果电影是门艺术，那本片真的把画面做到了极致。真的太美了！一分一秒都不舍得快进，第一次有这感觉还是在看《阿凡达》的时候。我们所要做的，就是欣赏电影，并发现更多有益的东西。
我才反应过来
上次让我有这种感觉的是巩皇
挺好的，这真是很久很久以前了。真勇啊。不知道这种想法受了什么主义的影响，总觉得今人当然比古人全方位地厉害。其实美好的品质，并不会随着时间维度的拉长而更多或更少。//but,我看到大本和达蒙在一个画面里就想笑。演员还是应该保持神秘。。。
很久没看过这么震撼的电影了，震撼不在于故事多么得不可思议，而是它真实得可怕，这也许能算是“借古讽今”吧？第三章是绝对的高潮，导演的目的达到了，决斗戏漫长血腥到让人如坐针毡，让人完全地共情了女主角。玛格丽特在剧中有多美丽，两个男人就有多丑陋。唯一的问题：他们怎么一个个能闭着眼管Adam Driver这张丑脸口口声声handsome？P.S.让我们来猜猜给低分的一般是什么性别？
挺老套的主题，也并没有什么新颖的演绎。表现力足够，缓慢细腻不显拖沓。研究所和家庭的装修都是我的菜。非常想知道研究所的外景地在哪里，好美。
你是你，你不是我，你是你，你也是我！虽然故事不算新鲜了，还不及《黑镜》第一二季里的类似故事精彩，但影片极其温柔优雅的质感，科技贴合人类情感的正向交互幻想，还是动人的。也许再过50年、100年，人类不用再和活体人类谈恋爱了，人与人互相试炼磨合，又苦又虐，厌倦伴随撕扯，终成正果的寥寥；放下婚姻家庭生育的执念，抛开性别的束缚，大大方地和AI谈恋爱，人类有的，他（她）有，人类没有的，他（她）也有，贴心、细致 、周到，身心体验极佳，每天醒来元气满满，不怕没有新鲜感。
作为科幻的创意不算新鲜，但故事重点更多在人文情怀。这类未来科技走进平常人生活的故事相比前些年已经大量淡化了惊悚元素、更多以理性的态度来探讨科技的影响，可以说未来即是现在。
与其沉迷于无效填充不如做减法拍成短片。
极慢的叙事节奏，细腻的人物描写，Mahershala Ali精湛成熟的演出，虽然Swan Song走的不是软科幻人文的新路，但这路走得却格外稳健踏实。
boring 难怪票房不好。我要是制片人打死都不会投这种片。
