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.
四个故事短小精悍 主线含糊不清 致命录像带一贯的作风 晃 糊 黑 却很有看头 很喜欢
虽然第三个故事和另外几个风格有点儿不统一，但是疯狂科学家改造人太cult了，画面清晰度最高反倒感觉最复古，血也舍得给，顽主的台词特别符合观看时的心情：哥们儿就喜欢俗的！老鼠人吸血鬼和守夜人都差不多吧，这个系列还是可以看看的
太血腥啦。我是双手捂着眼睛看完的。眼睛从指缝中偷偷看。
四个故事恶趣味一脉相承，录像带元概念优秀但不出彩，而且有简化故事结构的嫌疑。故意做旧的粗糙感太过，镜头切换很无厘头。看后兄弟们一致认为3>2>1>4，我个人的顺序是1>2>4>3，有时候越是basic的恐怖故事越令人印象深刻。
3.5，在这个类型里，其实还算不错了。几个故事都不错，够地下，够带劲。主线那个故事比较拉胯，故弄玄虚，拔高也完全没拔起来。
这个系列里最不喜欢的一部 偏偏每个故事都很冗长
第三个故事最好看.但电影看下来.真的看到我想吐.因为拍摄手法和画面真的让人很晕阙.晕船浪一样.
分数：71
《守灵》、《鼠人》最佳，印尼那个属于自嗨，和主题根本不搭。
比小时候看的录像带更血腥！但创意上基本是暗网都市传说汇编
可拉倒吧。不知道为什么没了之前系列的味。扑面而来都是寓言故事、
7分。这部也很棒，伪记录适合这种小故事，地下道鼠人怪诞味道、殡仪馆诈尸、改造人嘎嘎乱杀很牛逼、囚禁吸血鬼的革命者这个比较无聊。
高情商：POV模式的伪纪录恐怖片；低情商：网友自制恐怖短片。低劣粗糙的画面和模仿本身就是这部片子最大的魅力和特点，其中若有若无的、类似于陈词滥调的政治讽刺（偏激又略显低智的美国红脖子被吸血鬼屠杀）也是片子的另一层意义。
這部電影分為五個故事，其中四個是獨立的，第五個是框架故事，或者說是將它們串聯起來的主線故事。框架故事相對簡單，一支特警隊闖入了一所被一群已死的邪教徒占據的院落。穿插其中的四個小插曲都在框架故事之上。這些短片組合令人印象深刻，足以證明該類型影片的創造力仍然值得稱贊。
女人惨，灵异守夜殡仪馆
邪典伪纪录片回归了，观感实打实的比第三部要好。年代感满满，无惊无喜，不过依旧有新意，血浆爆点在第三个故事，整体倒也不难看。
老一套，除了疯狂博士改造人其他没啥亮点，结尾多少有点潦草了
纯粹感官刺激的短片集。算是四个相对完整的小故事吧，外面再套一个大故事。下水道鼠人，恐怖守灵夜半头尸回魂，疯狂科学家人机混血实验，美国红脖子囚禁吸血鬼但却控制不了自己内心的傻逼念头。大故事是警察追缉这几盘录像带的幕后真相，其中竟然就有录像带炮制者。
质感真就模仿1994年的家庭录像，视频乱码有的时候还模糊不清，所以千万不能看低码率版，不然眼睛真的会花。老鼠人，附身复活，弗兰肯斯坦，吸血鬼大战民兵，没什么特别的创意但每个故事至少很完整，还是期待VHS带来更多这样的伪记录邪典短片，粗糙但就是带劲，爱看呀。
伪纪录片的形式和题材没有结合的很好，全程都感觉套了一个美图秀秀里的非主流滤镜在拍摄，相比较而言更喜欢疯狂科学家那个故事。
