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.
看见这部片子的时候 廖启智老师已经去世了 为了他 五星
要是真严谨起来
香港电影现在都这么敷衍么。。。剧情神跳跃。。
2019年亚洲电影节的“技术原因”，捱到现在才终见天日；感觉若非廖启智和“扫黑”大潮，也是困难。立项时对四位主演争锋斗戏的预期，被淹没为一个有些轻佻简陋的律政剧“单集案件”；其实完全可以说，这是《律政强人》“Kent”与“KC”的后续吧。
唯一就是船上那场爆发的戏到位了。
10月。实际上，就真的挺无聊的，也挺离谱。
还是那波人，还是原来的演技，还是原来的编剧，只是时代变了，观众不好忽悠了。不拼不搏是一定不会博得满堂彩的。输出中规中矩例行公事，打分也要做到公平公正不偏不倚。多给一分，凑及格，敬情怀。港片迟暮，时日几何？
勉勉强强勉勉强强的，能看完，中半段好一点点，前后都差两口气，整体制作，主创，演员都太淡了
也不是不能看，只是为hk拍这种程度的片而感到遗憾
四、夜店真的是约炮的地方。
即便是一个阳光普照的社会，也总有阴影，也总得吃饭，既然公义不能当饭吃，那就吃饱饭再行动了，雷律师在这一点上想的清清楚楚明明白白
雖然老戲骨不少，無奈劇本只是在一味重複。粵語原聲還是比較道地。資金加速崩塌/流失/蒸發。
最后是一位有权有势的打败了另一位有权有势的，太残酷了……
给法律相关的题材分，还是好看的，但感觉内容剧情更似一集电视剧的能量密度
殺妻兇手作為破局牽線人設定得不錯，不算為了過審而加上自首一鍋端的話，利用偽造証供標榜人無完人、公義賽高就有點畫蛇添足了
这啥玩意这是，这个剧本毫无悬念又毫无看点，要不是廖叔遗作（也不知道是不是最后一部），我真没打算看
不明白，最后的反转还是拿钱摆平的。可是如果证人突然转做污点证人，他的证词难道不要调查研究就可以被法庭采用吗？
18/10/2021 @ 高先電影院。唔似tvb，不過似hktv果期既電視劇囉。成個劇本就靠一班老戲骨同金句吸引觀眾。所以最後果個轉折位即係話觀眾聽要打破高牆就只能靠出古惑等牆入面狗咬狗？
20220501，手机爱奇艺 挺讽刺的是片中努力追求的正义和公正是靠钱收买实现的。
我们之所以坚持公义，是为了让我们的后代，活在保有公义的世界上！
