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.
（6.0）嘎嘎演技大进步，尤其肢体动作表现力爆棚。问题还是我在明星那部时说的，面部肌肉掌控不够细腻，也就是微表情太贫乏了。天赋看来还是一般，这些年也没有长期表演训练打磨出来。不过靠着形体也能成就伟大演员的。整部影片拍得就那样吧，音乐的调配有点意思。意大利歌剧、莫扎特的德语歌剧、电子乐的交替演变，多少也对应了古驰家族的变迁。
见识到其叙事节奏的时候，我查看了影片时长。心想剩余的时间里得有多少内容。
拍的太四平八稳了，乏善可陈，感觉是个假雷导拍的。唯一表扬的是全片所有人物的服装是真的不错。
拍的不好，演的也不好，Gaga怎么演戏都像自己
家族抓马吃瓜大戏。但我好喜欢Jeremy Irons和Al Pacino…… 虽然剧情很烂，虽然没头没尾，虽然我也不知道为啥送了双鞋就能让别人投钱，但叔叔签协议书那场简直靠Al Pacino一人演技撑起全场，直击我心。真可惜了这么好卡司。
在电影院看的。人为财死，鸟为食亡，欠债还钱，杀人偿命。
很失望。如果一部电影让我全程如坐针毡，那必定是出现了一些比较严重的问题……(@Regal)
演得还行，剧本不行，无法让人感受到主角的任何魅力。
这部电影拍得实在是味同嚼蜡，很难看下去都......

人物动机一片混乱，角色干瘪又机械，纯粹是推动情节的工具，不过对白处理水平能勉强过关，视听和服化道也保持在雷德利斯科特出品的平均水准。
娱乐性还挺好的哈哈哈 ，司机帅到爆炸 ，gaga还挺可爱，至於萊托⋯⋯感覺他完全沈浸在表演這個角色的快樂中不能自拔已經快瘋了，音樂也瘋了，买凶那场戏把我给笑死了，還有相冊那裡差點笑出聲，怎么会那么好笑。而且gaga那个角色怎么那么像向太！另外一眾時尚界名人的cosplay基本上是百變大咖秀觀眾席水準，Anna Wintour看了想打人，假Tomford最後一場戲秒挫了五十倍又是咋回事？！
从家族品牌到没有了古驰家族的古驰，从一个美好爱情发展到谎言欺骗谋杀背叛，这么狗血的故事竟然没有被拍出狗血感，雷公真的手软了，感觉就像把几年前的“金钱世界”又复制了一遍。嘎嘎过犹不及，我愿称亚当司机为丑帅界的扛把子...
看到说影片的表演方式有受commedia dell'arte（意大利即兴喜剧）的影响，倒是觉得如果能一以贯之还是会蛮有趣的，或许可以像I, Tonya那样很娱乐又唏嘘。但现在太四不像了，尴尬极了，似乎只有Jared Leto在扛把子🙃。当然导演或表演（或选角）都是次要锅了，这剧本水平去拍八点档怕是都被人嫌弃啦😂
最后的买凶杀夫一整段也淡如白水，本来可以做成一个高潮般的尾声。大概主创心里也在想“差不多就得了吧怎么还不结束”。——酿这样一杯白开水，确实没必要用157分钟这么长。
很特别的人物变化线路，结尾不知道是什么主题，但就是莫名好笑。喜剧无疑了。
今天北京解封复工的第一天。19年10月刚刚去过武汉。拍的好不好另说，请先学会共情。致敬每一位普通人。
6.5/10。今天是感恩节，看完的感觉像是吃了一只料塞得太满的火鸡，like前面几口很美味，吃到最后有点想吐，非常惋惜怀念最开始的几口。之前看完The Last Duel，觉得年过八十的老雷尚能饭否，看完本片觉得他该退休了。上一次看群戏这么用力过猛的电影还是十年前的美国骗局，同样也是有人变秃有人增重，女主是幕后主谋。我真的有在努力喜欢这个故事了，lady gaga的表现也是真的很出色（她在本片的表演肯定可以提名奥斯卡影后），还是很有娱乐性的作品，就是没达到我的预期。
雷公使出浑身解数，试图打造一部野心勃勃的大女主商战史诗，服化道一流，可还是难以掩盖八点档狗血肥皂剧内核，最后拍得就像《美国犯罪故事》选段。嘎嘎的表演刚好介于偶尔炸裂和大规模抽风之间，不提个奥斯卡确实保守了。
