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.
开头我还以为是东南亚某个国家的片子。结果发现不是的。居然就是国产片。过了开头以后就发现这个电影还是挺有意思的。非常接近我们现在国家的真实婚姻状况。老一辈就是这样理解的。非常感同身受。尤其是女主去男主母亲家里这个情况我觉得非常的真实，非常的有代表性。
前期剧情有点慢，总体比较冗长，但很久没有看到关于同性题材这么有趣的喜剧了，最后各自出柜倒是很切合东亚的家庭情况，印度能拍出这种类型的片子真的算不错了
彩虹游行那里真实感受到了快乐，从这开始就满含热泪直到结束。摊牌的感觉真好，可是并不是人人都能做自己。
除了静珊不怎麼像包郵區人之外，基本上沒有什麼缺點。媽媽的角色花了一點時間入戲，但後面基本就漸入佳境了。以及，潮州家庭不怎麼接受外省女生嫁過去也是好事啦，一年到頭都要各種拜拜，各種民俗真的太難了（我DNA裡那一丁點的海豐基因都不足以令我敢說我可以），還有要男人和客人吃完才輪到家裡女人上桌吃飯這個在我外公老家是真的存在，我外公算是嫁出來了所以家裡就沒有這種規定了，不管怎麼說，這電影我喜歡。
没什么亮点，爆米花电影。特别是男男的戏份不太喜欢
意外之喜，非常有意义的同性电影，配乐也很赞。Love is love.和大鹅看的第五部电影。
方言小成本影片，虽然故事是老生常谈，但里面那股浓厚的生活化气息一度会让人觉得这根本不是电影，就是身边事。影片对父母与子女的观念冲突有表现却不至于深入，这是绝大多数家庭都会面临的一个问题，能够像影片结尾如此圆满的可能屈指可数，所以影片即使没有表现得那么狗血，结尾也会显得太突兀。当作一个轻松温馨的小品来欣赏，还是很让人惊艳的。
题材可以打4星，主旋律电影算是坏了国内市场了，观众太久没看到新鲜的故事了。宝莱坞都能拍homosexual，谁又是真正的一叶蔽目呢。
男主的妈妈承担了主要的笑点，好可爱。普信男那个梗真的绝了，还是最后勇敢站出来了。
一部以形婚为题材描绘出的同性恋群体生存画像，整体轻松幽默，就是长了点，但我挺感动，没想到在一部印度的片子里同时看到了gay、les、形婚、领养等话题，而我们看到的《神动3》连一句“because i was in love with you.”都要剪掉……
女主说的太对了，man who consider woman to be inferior beings！ 如果连为lgbt的权利去发生和抗争的自由都没有，不晓得要到啥时候平权才能被看到甚至落地。结尾一度看的热泪盈眶，这是2022年的印度片！
在同类型片中制作上乘，通过此片看到了印度对LGBT的相对包容。求求国内不要再拿LGBT打擦边赚流量了。
看这部电影中一直感到观念的冲突，或许我已经不算是一个正宗潮汕人了，一个素质这么高条件这么好的女生，跟这么一个男生本来就委屈了，还要去潮汕舔未来公婆，看得人生气——很好地延续了潮汕话电影一贯以自恋型男生作为主角的传统。这么排斥“外省”的应该是男主奶奶这一辈人才对，现在潮汕人和外地嫁娶多了，男主爸妈这一辈早都习惯了。电影还是有很多不成熟的地方，比如低俗的插科打诨，不好笑又尴尬。相比之前还是进步了。潮阳话真是超级难听懂，尤其是男主爸爸，让人一句都没听到。
虽然看着有点糙，缺那么点电影质感，但是感情一点也不糙，跟老妈互动的每一个瞬间那种质感，无论是不是电影这种载体，都是最真切、最厚实、也是最优的质感。
连隔壁都敢于正视这个社会需要面对的一些情感问题，说多了也无法改变这里的环境
希望happy ending尽快照进现实
还是欣赏不来这种类型的。同志的确可以参照这种找个都是同性恋的，不然就是害别人！
尤其最后妈妈突然转变，雨过天晴的过程有点突兀，为了HE而HE 转弯有点太快。原本妈妈的转变也是一个很适合影片发挥表现的方面。
国内……算了。
真实自然的故事，流畅舒适的表达，真挚契合的配乐，恰到好处的情怀和地方特色，以及带着惊喜和巧合且省钱的彩蛋式收尾，春节档最佳，与其刷大片不如捞一部有趣的小制作素人电影来得有意义，四星加一星，权作赞助！🎉
