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.
有点过于童话了 但这么温柔舒适的小品多多益善
女导演。没有放过「这是一场金钱的交易」，这很关键。所有的注意力都在女性愉悦上，完全没在意男鸭完不完美现不现实，女性愉悦大于一切。当然，这一点也使全片与各方面都完美的男鸭得以自洽。
Highly recommended.看完后第一时间推荐给朋友。看多了开心麻花，我都忘了这才是音乐剧（当然前面是话剧，我意思是好看的剧）。有伤痛、有开心、有反思，居然还是真人真事。途中一度想到我们的疫情难关能不能也出这样一个不煽情的好剧。场景、调度、演员、歌声、编排真的很棒。梦回西区！
因为《应召女郎》，这部从剧情和立意显得温馨友好。“越界”剧情后面的处理略简单，似乎女主完成体验的期待而完满，但向学生说破真相这段真的是情感的破冰么？因为男主的故事线不立体，握手祝福好运显得拮据。
这种灾难背后，芸芸众生所呈现的善意和温暖，怎能让人不喜欢。
从头到尾情绪都冲到了头顶，眼泪汪汪，最后字幕出对比照片的时候眼泪哗哗流，居然还有猩猩的照片，破防了。一人分饰多角、场景转换也井井有条毫不费力。完成了我看音乐剧有字幕的美梦。
精彩绝伦！！！
先知道的这个事件，然后意外知道了这个音乐剧，没想到这个音乐剧就是讲那个事件的。
一个时代创伤被用这么温柔温暖的笔触抚慰 大哭一场的同时也感觉被治愈了
从内核到表现方式都刻板无趣，全靠老ET豁出去的表演撑着。
完全的放下外界对你的看法、你对外界的看法，是很难很难的。完全看不出是表演，没有一处做作。最后一次见面的两次露胸不像同一个人。谁说是喜剧？
四星给演员，这么简单的场地全靠演技撑起来了
很圆滑，很有趣，群像整得相当好，节奏调度相当好。就是我对合家欢大团圆的这类型剧没啥感觉

四星半。片子会带给不同人不同的解读，可以有反对对性工作者遭遇的美化，可以有反对支持性服务合法化的观点，也可以看到，正是基于片中女主自我探索的过程，才无法让角色性别互换，恰恰是因为这种性别安排，更巧妙的展现了女性的困境，性只是表象，枷锁的束缚与解除才是内核。艾玛汤普森演技太棒了。
还用说什么吗 能看到官摄这不太幸福了吗 喜欢以前的经典都能出个官摄
对自己坦诚 对自己的身体坦诚 是一件美妙的事！
“她不再去评判自己的身体，也不会特意去赞美它，而是来到一个知道自己可以抵达愉悦的安全境地，获得无比的自由。”
好看的 是非常美式的音乐剧 美国人就很适合拍这种题材 机长姐姐的歌好棒 那个埃及大厨好逗 通过圣经交流的剧情一看就是来源于真实 非常感人
几度热泪盈眶 充满人性光辉 在那个魔幻的时刻 全人类终于团结起来试图对抗命运 每一个小小的善意都像珍珠一样美好 歌好听 一定要在远离日常的时刻 我们才能找回自己和生命的意义吗？I am an islander 我们都不是孤岛 无论身在何处都要珍惜善意和真诚。
