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.
尼古拉斯·凯奇写给自己的一封情书。
人和模型渐渐重合那镜头很绝
绝对值得四星的好电影，nicolas cage回春之作，我觉得里面的兄弟情最感人，私心觉得比杨紫琼那部爆作更好看，剧本反套路的地方很多，全程无尿点，力荐！
故事本身非常一般 但套在这个设定里就显得很有创意了
0413不能标记看过。恋爱花束+史密斯夫妇。好欢乐！！虽然西语部分只能听出来是西语。观影气氛也太好啦，配乐也很有感觉
两个名不见经传的编剧导演写了一个故事 真的说服了尼古拉斯凯奇来拍 又邀到一众明星 inspiring程度五星
已经无下限自黑到这个程度，片子依然不卖座。真是凯奇本人之外另一个维度的悲哀。
但不管怎么说这无疑是凯奇近十年来最好的电影了，希望还完债的凯奇能迎来事业第二春。
充满着自娱精神和对电影的调侃，凯奇绝对是天才演员
除了凯奇扮演凯奇以及时不时调侃一下自己拍过的电影，电影就是个三流快餐网大。尼古拉斯凯奇这块情怀招牌还能消费多久？
好莱坞还在选角阶段的活人立生祠传记片们可以参考本片，还是让大明星们自己演自己吧。巨星向粉丝电影也要肥水不流外人田。老套失意中年男人切入，但是想出来一喊action就有超能力简直是天才啊！
“你最爱的电影是什么？”
本来嘛，这是个挺烂的故事，可凯奇饰演自己，在电影里又是吐槽又是致敬，又是自黑又是自恋，化腐朽为神奇，融合出了挺好玩的效果。
讨巧，刻意成分挺多的。可看得出来尼古斯拉凯奇是想表达自己对电影的热爱的。或许骨子里，是个贼自恋的人呐～
这片子太神奇了～ 打趣儿的说 是Paddington 2的推广片 哈哈哈哈
又扯淡又好玩。尼古拉斯凯奇好可爱哈哈哈哈哈哈
一般吧… 我对凯奇最深刻的印象是《战争之王》《火柴人》那种复杂癫狂感，我觉得他搞不好再也演不来了
但不管怎么说这无疑是凯奇近十年来最好的电影了，希望还完债的凯奇能迎来事业第二春。
自我救赎来自于自我致敬，或许凯奇的演艺生涯真的走到尽头了。
凯奇的粉丝电影，太精神病了，不过也太可爱了，虽说就是个爽片网大水平，但是确实凯奇从头到尾和红毒蛇的基情太浓郁了，笑到头疼
