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.
结尾处直播信号恢复，有一条留言是「anne are you ok are you ok anne」。哈哈
聚焦在西裔非法移民身上的小成本恐怖片。“一文钱难倒英雄汉”的写实，与光怪陆离充满哥特风格的魔幻，碰撞出充满反讽的结局——完成精神弑母的女主，竟然让大boss也退避三舍，乖乖缩回石箱不说，还要怯怯地给自己拉上石门。女主不但成为满坑满谷受害人中的另类，还顺利完成反杀，干掉了房东兄弟。结尾保持开放，女主是否黑化，成为箱怪新的祭司，留作悬念。
真太晃了，剧情都看不到了，一整个不知所云，而且女主真的犯贱达人，非常想打她一拳。
石盒子里的怪物很惊艳，女主亲戚虽然不喜欢她，却还是让妻子给她衣服还为了救她而死，可惜的是最后女主没有逃出去，她也被怪物吃了，后面的复仇都是死后的梦境。
以恐怖片的形式来表现人与人之间呈现出病态的牵绊和关系，一旦顺从他人对自己的情感与道德绑架，就是把自己的大脑献祭给这些人，成为失去自主能力和判断力的尸体。女主的反杀就是从情感绑架中，以爱为名的Pua中挣脱出来。
这种电影人就看个恶心，你把怪物放到最后，前边看的我都无聊死了。。。还好最后有一点精彩
这个怪物也弱鸡了，女主啥也没干都怕，自己缩回去了……
luke不要给我谢谢
5/10毫无章法和逻辑的一部片子，看了跟没看一样。
（美国人……哈哈
姐妹磨x，天打雷劈。
疯批婆娘最后居然没死 异型出来以后怎么反而战斗力下降了 why 另外 特写屎镜头实在不适
电影3.5 看到了鬼影实录的影子 永远钟爱纪录片形式 但总体太仓促 更喜欢故事线清晰的 ariana纹身加0.5
反智女主大战寄生怪物，有几处因为过于无脑甚至让人笑出声。
属于是我理解不了在拍什么，那个怪物完全可以没有，就负责搞点故弄玄虚，最后出来的那个形象也不吓人，打败的过程也很简单，看得挺无语的。还不如就拍移民女性困境，被骗无依无靠，碰上男性连环杀手，没钱比见鬼还惨。以及因为怪物和仪式这些交代不够清楚，女主后面突然倒戈向怪物也挺没说服力，就感觉为了强行有个经典结局。
luke不要给我谢谢
表叔叔好无辜啊，他不过是心地善良就被卷进事件里。就问你们有么有见过这么礼貌充满尊重的鬼？你不心甘情愿它就不吃你，跑完完了还吧门关上。女主智商欠奉，最后反杀的时候略爽，但是依然有点不知所云。
前面十多分钟有点无聊，但是十多分钟左右正片才开始，还不错，恶心大尺度，满嘴脏话，不知道小女孩是被邪教搞了什么鬼
虽然前面节奏有点慢，但是电影内容，人设还是很丰满的。最后不可名状的怪物，造型很奇特，与之相比，鬼魂真的不算什么。我觉得女主的选择显而易见，她已经一无所有，所以最后她犹豫了。
气氛营造比较到位，场景也搭的挺好，但是不够恐怖，再吓人一些就更好了。女主还是挺单纯的，各种被骗，不过最后吃到了石箱的好处，是不是要黑化呢，这里一个小小的悬念。故事总体比较简单，前面部分甚至有一点无聊，后面还行。这个怪物设计的很棒，第一次见到这种造型，很新颖，好评！但是太弱鸡了吧，怎么就只能投喂，自己没有能力，白白长得这么大个子。女主环境中挣扎醒来就啥事没有了，客观存在的链子都没了，这点确实离谱了。男主明明醒着，也被抓住吃掉了，当然最后也有台词表面他陷入幻觉。总体中规中矩的片子， 怪物造型好评。上面那个最多赞的，17赞的评论，片子都没看懂搁着瞎评论，还这么多人给他点赞，无语。弑母是在幻觉里，这种杀掉最亲的人才能走出幻觉的段落很老套了，还有被坏人抓住最后暴走反杀也是很老的套路了，他都没看过的吗？
