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.
阿三哥都开始反思自己的民主制度了。看短评好多脑瘫都在这电影面前自卑自己的制度了。也是，所谓民主西方世界，也就有一些好电影充门面了。
扎实的剧本，多重的反转，平稳的节奏，用绝佳的视听语言牵引出内心的感慨情绪，今年看的印度最佳，感觉有第二部？
看到一半还以为就是个继续的俗套故事，后半段开始反转。所有民众能看到的，都是各种博弈下故意引导的，底层会有流动，但头部玩家几乎不转移不涌入，只是限定人群的接力赛而已。想明白这个，很多事情自然就解释通了，金字塔的底层贡献劳动力和支持率，金字塔中间负责执行，塔尖的教皇们则坐享其成，求同存异。
电影本身而言，说的太多，但内容雷同，靠旁白延伸前情后事，7分足矣。看看当下，政治那些肮脏事，一些狂妄的人，不能提问，不能质疑，醉生梦死奶头乐，借用情感，假以正义，说到底，这是个荒唐的世界。永远敬佩那些目标坚定勇敢捍卫的真正的勇士。
就电影来说很不错，情节反转出人意料，演员也都不错。希望对会对现实有帮助吧
那些拿拍摄手法、剧情bug说事，讽刺别人因为题材打五星的人，自己不也因为题材给战狼，长津湖打了五星吗？每个人都有自己的评分标准，没有谁比谁高级，用不着装高级讽刺别人。
解决提出问题的人，所有阶级固化的体制下都有肮脏的政治和血淋淋的尸体
In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place.
非常极限的ab故事倒装结构，印度电影版《沉默的真相》，台词、人物塑造极为精妙，关键是触碰的话题无所顾忌，酣畅淋漓。印度电影神如斯，我等汗颜。
太精妙了，片中每一个人物都是一枚随波逐流的纸片棋子，不停地被分解和建构..仔细看就会发现片子里象征世俗正义的那帮人，说到底不过在履行自己的道德和权益——因为本该如此；反叛道德秩序那帮人也在行使自己的价值和权利——因为全世界的人都知道事实上就是如此。眼看着周围的邻居们思索思索再思索—创造，我们也惊呼要增强民族自信，柔和一些——喏，折中的温暖现实主义。而那些只能隔海相望的这帮电影朋友，脸上带着兴奋的潮红，惴惴不安地沉入剧情，朝着我们想都不敢想的刀刀见骨的现实主义失控驶去..
歧视女性、操弄舆论，印度社会的问题很多，但至少法律还是管用的。
4分。虽然大家都知道印度电影尺度大，很多社会深层问题政治阴暗面都敢呈现出来，跟韩国电影一样，莫不拍手叫好，虽说也知道这些问题还会一直存在，拍完不会有丝毫改变，但看的过程就是很爽啊，我看也一样。但从另一方面来说，这电影时间冗长，很多唱歌片段也有点跳戏，结尾警察反转真的有点为了反转而反转之嫌，一些不好的地方也该是看到的。
7.5分吧，败笔的bgm 太太太糟糕了，围绕着种姓制度下媒体审判的程序正义与结果正义，本质还是权力与权利之争，那种「狂热的正义」有些国家的人本应更有感触，但我知道它们会说什么话语。Win-Win🤮
暗地使操纵自如 却不敢浮出水面 暗地令舆论走向 却不敢保留痕迹 暗地使秘密消失殆尽 却不敢长存一切尸体 暗地使革命流血 却不敢让血色永远鲜红 暗地使平民受苦 却不敢让旁观者永远记得 挑选那些柔软的来挫败那些强悍的 永远记得一到不再自欺欺人的时候 也就是看见希望萌芽的时候
仅几部印度电影不断刷新深度高度……评本片，用警察总督对副手的那句台词：“这就是政治”！
今年看过的最佳！！！开始以为讲女性权益，接着又以为是革命片，看下来发现是弘扬正义，捍卫事实与法律，批判政治与媒体，没想到它最后是部复仇的爽片。ps 双男主并不需要对手戏。
除了种姓和出身，研究生导师的权力太大，与学生不平衡的关系也是蛮重要的点
无论是在法庭上如何慷慨陈词，伸张程序正义，揭露种姓歧视，打到政治倾轧，最后都落在了暴力私刑。当然，最可笑的是群众、学生，乌合之众。
悬疑片，合格，不算太好，但，是我们的国产电影无法仰望的高峰。
印度悬疑群像也做得这么精彩了，反转反转反转，我作为观众有几分像小丑。当然留下的几处疑点还是被我精准捕捉到了。
