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.
这是我除了上课以外相当有意义的六小时……
一个房间做在一起讨论怎么处理一个种族，思路可以，但是拍的太无聊，这种一个场景全靠对话支撑的片子没有一点冲突亮点很难看下去。
会，继续爱、看着、拥抱，还有周日下午四点斯帕特霍斯咖啡馆的等待
很久没有看过这么长的电影了，琐碎的生活，好看。
不管怎样，生活是最有趣的工作。
“一个当代高学历社畜的消亡史”（到最后，还在期待一个比较美好的结局，大概是有点社畜惜社畜吧～
法比安纯粹又迷茫，是疯狂时代里我们每一个人。镜头太棒，三个小时一点都不觉得冗长。片后连线汤姆希林，他说拍摄时期的他处于迷茫状态，恰好和片中男主状态有重合，于是能更好演绎。
战前的柏林，一切都在逐渐崩溃，“体面、人道和正常的人”不再可以被向往。法比安没学会游泳，因此他不懂如何在时代中逃生。他自身难保，奈何却背着沉重的正直之天赋。也许，无论是像挚友那样自杀，还是像他那样悲剧英雄主义色彩的溺水身亡，突如其来的死亡，生命于青年时期戛然而止，对理想主义者来说都是善终。看到法比安的笔记被烧毁，感觉非常悲伤，随后是更多的笔记和书被销毁。青年法比安们，他们的爱、友情、理想、迷惘、痛苦，都被历史的洪流吞没，成为无人知晓的存在。
观感极好。另一视角下的《柏林与亚历山大广场》。
全方位的不喜欢，从画幅到故事，从摄影到剪辑，根本看不下去
当某天突然出现了一束光，你欢呼、雀跃，你感到心安，可最后带来的只是更幽深的黑暗。
我离开你是为了和你在一起。
是不是看到了我们的未来。
会，继续爱、看着、拥抱，还有周日下午四点斯帕特霍斯咖啡馆的等待
既然我们都是要死的，作为一个理想主义者死去也没什么不好。
在他们的闭门会议里冷酷的讨论着另一群人的命运，他们理性地讨论这群人残存的效用、苟且的心理、处理的方式，像讨论着一群待宰的羔羊。
这是我除了上课以外相当有意义的六小时……
台词是《爱在三部曲》暗黑版，镜头和《梦之安魂曲》一样迷幻，男主是《阿飞正传》德国进口，汤姆希林身上有一股詹美和戴涵涵影子。
“没有好处，但有无用的美。”
没有旁白的时候这是非常好的一部电影，一些处理技巧有点太干扰了
