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.
有声默片，很多场景十分梅里埃。也是近几年华语新片里少有的没有哪个角色/演员让我感到尴尬的，可能是方言、戏剧感对夸张表演的宽容度比较高。
7.0/10，《鬼灭之刃》第一季，浅草篇，TV版6-10集合集。
【7】不知道是不是被真实事件束缚住了手脚，改编得缩手缩脚，最后呈现出相当陈旧的文本。称不上是《罗生门》的故事，因为多视角的不同之处几乎是微乎其微，只能说是相互补充，让人质疑是否有POV多视角的必要。至于女性主义的回溯及对ME TOO的观照云云，对于30年前就拍出《末路狂花》的老雷而言，不值得为人称道。
本来看了卡司（主要是 Jodie Comer）和题材（中世纪 me too）就觉得只要不糊就谢天谢地了，结果居然这么完美。三段式 POV 式叙事把控得丝毫不无聊，刻意强调的不同视角把情绪与诉求表达得恰到好处，尤其是前两段的男性视角和第三段稍有些慢热的女性视角相辅相成自然地带入让人咬牙切齿又拍案叫绝。更何况中世纪末期神权重压下马上要喘息的人性时代的各个仪式、道具和伪善都表现得非常到位。pandemic 来首次回归 AMC 这万年老粉的陈年 reward 换的观影体验太值了。
这期战斗说，只要说出那个人的名字就得死，到了十二鬼月也说那个人的名字，只是加‘大人’的称呼就不死了？
釜山电影节看的。话剧电影。拍的挺工整。不过，中途我还是睡着了。
时光轮转 智慧修复，如普通的力感如体验……
活色生香，但太过于间离了，难说是my thing。当晚正好没吃晚饭，某些段落看的我感同身受，回家狂炫碳水。
握住停在掌心的当下，直视站立远处的未来，遵从内心选择，无畏他人目光，翻涌浪潮下步履坚定勇敢前行。
#FilmfestMünchen2022 感觉内地公映难了⋯ (privileged
《椒麻堂会》最近几年看过的最好华语片，本周在纽约的朋友们有机会一定要去🎬📽
三个篇章 三种视角 一场恶战 女主最后的眼神已然在告诉观众 决斗的荣耀是新一轮痛苦的开始
看完就很想找個四川人說說話，把剷鏟板板錘子格老子的都講個邊
三个小时，我没有睡着，不管是画面还是细节，都心思满满，庆幸是在影院看的 不然我会错过一部好电影。
由于影片还挺长，所以需要一定的耐心才能看完。首先形式上的新奇之处就不多做评价，觉得最神之处是驼背用照相机看来看去和结尾人人在喝孟婆汤忘却往生。- Filmfest München 25.06.2022
马特达蒙虽丑，但实在没有丑到能把亚当司机衬成大帅比的程度。
泼辣，厚实，乡土，生猛。以川剧兴衰的视角折射中国近代史，戏剧式的布局与布景更添一层讽谑面纱，三小时笑看历史与记忆荒腔走板。
，名副其实的华语年度最佳！荒诞的艺术，光怪陆离的社会变迁，《霸王别姬》的隔空对唱，模糊舞台和荧幕的扑面而来的丁达尔效应，极具个人色彩和地方特色的空灵的戏梦版的表达，文革时期向右野蛮生长的水泥砖墙，屎里找蛆的桥段。细节和记忆点很多，非常大胆，导演也极具野心。在釜山电影节看的，179分钟，中途走了几个韩国人，亮灯后也有几个韩国人昏睡在座位上，只有我和个位数的同胞在诺大的影厅里鼓掌到人潮散去
只說個人層面的領會，metoo運動之後，世界電影工業對這場運動揣著明面的附議，來到這部片，終於達至讓人心悅誠服的效果。
#SGIFF32#形式大胆且光怪陆离。剧情待补（看不太懂某些英文字幕也听不太懂四川话）。
