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.
不懂！
另，虽然任何年龄段的女人爱上维果都是比较顺理成章的事情，但是能不能不要再
2. 电影结尾，柯南伯格反其道而行之去宣扬“body is reality”，否认了未来世界中精神的主体性和存在的意义，反倒去强调肉体本身的价值，这是一个很新颖的观点，但个人其实不太接受这样的诠释（就这样选择去接受并宣扬现代科技下人类的异化吗？）。
最后吐槽一下蕾老师后期的月牙头造型，灵感来源是女明星打了除皱针还没消肿的样子吗？
怎么突然就结束了，我还以为没演完呢，还在等大招呢。。。。。
蕾雅也老了吖，可惜可惜，脸上没脂肪就是不大好看了，胸也缩水了，，娜奥米也是，脂肪量太低更显老，都不好认了，虽然线条气质依旧美。穆赫兰道那会儿多水嫩饱满啊
不难看，但就是缺乏新意，对于熟悉柯南伯格的人来说没啥惊喜。几个核心概念其实都脱胎于前作，比如打开腹腔就是《录像带谋杀案》的复现，比如那些黏黏糊糊的连接设备就是《感官游戏》的设定，又比如surgery is the new sex就是《欲望号快车》的2.0版本。当然，一个拍了四十年的老导演拍不出新花样也是情理之中，那些唠叨的对白也就勉强能接受了。
这样的艺术何尝不是另外一种会被批判的艺术，也许这种艺术对现在的人类来说还为时尚早吧。这样的片子看一遍都是痛苦和煎熬，完全没兴趣去细细品味。
实在是接受不了。科幻的外壳下，柯南伯格搞了个用人体器官来做行为艺术的设计，内核依然是俗套的。当众表演解剖人体，在器官上纹身来达到新型的xing体验，变异的人类从自然生长不同器官到逐渐形成系统，这些内容本质上与《钛》相似。但《钛》是震惊大于恶心，这部电影是恶心大于震惊。除了某些画面强烈的生理不适之外，我实在是接受不了片中有解剖小孩shi体的桥段。哪怕相关内容并不血腥，我也知道那只是一个道具。人类可能会进化成新的物种，这在未来可能是一种“罪行”，可惜我没看出来导演对此表达的批判或产生的哲学探讨。
只想说 非常柯南伯格 顺便讽刺了一下当代艺术
性即手术，解剖即快感，新型进化的展现，却是一场器官血肉交融的狂欢，不仅是身体进行的一场革命，更是人类思维的一场政治战争，渴望顺应变化和旧古思想遵从器官逻辑的人，本质上都在对社会未来作出自己的抉择，柯南伯格依旧有像四十年前般的前卫，最后其实也是一场向社会媒体公众的新导向，有《录像带谋杀案》的味道。但可惜在于，场景和对话全在解释这个世界，显得过于空洞，那些极致的肉体美学让人惊喜，也挽回不了刻意的展现和沉闷的叙事，喜欢却也不太能给出高分，想起当初看柯南伯格老片的惊艳感，或许是能代入到那个年代所突出的独特思维，而本片的设定在这个时代，只能说还可以更加大胆
大脑体会到的概念，比呈现出的影像好太多，直白一些就是拍得烂，实验了但离实验很远
人类的（起码西方人类的）焦虑就是一定要do something（to change) 以至于越做越多 西方艺术越繁锁 越radical的行为艺术 同时反复标榜的inner beauty 充满了讽刺 就是说明人本质上很蠢 我们都很蠢 就像我们无法停止猎奇目光 不过蠢很好看 也是一种人造自然激素
的。人有自由意志，人是有命运的。环境正是
。。。。。。
我看不明白但我大为震撼。一切都没有道理，美学ok所有人creepy，真的看得人又饿又清醒。
非常非常喜欢前半部分，完全多于后半部分，前半部分被带入一个新奇的世界，像生物一样的床，椅子和尸检操作台用以切割肌肤和器官成为新的性爱愉悦，想象奇绝，但后面就进化成了吃塑料。。。（？）当局掩盖吃塑料的人的进化，最后男主吃塑料感受到了新的进化。。。（？）
大卫柯南伯格又一次走到了时代前列。
怪异的未来，人体进化了，艺术也进化了，连性爱也进化了。蕾雅赛杜很美。
就为了看吾皇的美颜，请允许我表情包评论：我看不懂，但我大受震撼
