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.
老一辈电影人真是帅啊，永远记着那句：同志们，永别了。我想念你们。
彩色修复的效果还挺不错，既很雅致，又情感丰富而高尚，令人动容。
这个惊人的故事还有更惊人的后半部分。孙道临的原型是李白，李白的永不消逝的电波是发给上级潘汉年的，潘49年任上海常务副市长（市长陈毅），1955年夫妻双双被诬陷为叛徒被捕，判处无期徒刑，直至1977年死在劳改农场，关押22年。妻子董慧，香港道亨银行董事长的女儿，1979年也死在同一个劳改农场，关押24年。1982年，平反。
中国式叙事的特征，精彩的戏剧冲突和日常生活过场的结合。我似乎明白为什么很多老编剧写得那么流水账了。
“他点划清楚，清澈的像一汪清水”
小时候看过不知多少遍，现在看还是觉得有当年没发现的细节和好处。那时表现的信仰是有光芒的，就像孙道临的目光晶晶亮、表情质朴而灿烂。李侠和萧涧秋都是那种被理想点燃的，前者坚定到最后，后者迷惘再出发，他们和高觉新不一样。然而不管角色如何变，孙道临的内在气质始终如一：他真好看。
用美国的软件AI色彩修复一弄，就能吹什么国产自主修复，大国工匠云云，真不戳
节奏很慢很慢，快一个小时了还在慢条斯理的进行家庭故事，可能真的是时代不同了，感受 不同了。
现在看这些电影，为体现英雄把敌人拍的很笨的拍摄方法真不行，隐蔽战线的现实远比电影更残酷
这片子四分以上，我给满分。40'女主在戏院同志被枪杀后，向男主抱怨自己的工作不能像手中的宣传资料一样战斗，男主告诉她，这份宣传资料就是她送出的。这种桥段放到今天宁浩的电影里也不完全落时。107'46"一个很短的镜头，不到一秒，李侠吞下了密信纸。……这个电影真的不错。
50年代的反特片就拍到这种水平实在不容易。虽然人物和故事情节扁平化，意识形态渗透太明显，但演员镜头感真的可圈可点，小时候看过妈妈小时候看过的小人书，就已经印象深刻了呢。
我之所以给四星是因为被最后孙道临淡定从容的态度打动了
现在想想他到最后被抓或许还是幸事。他如果活了下来，将来再过十几年他反倒更有可能会被打成“特务”，从而让他屈辱的死去……
片子各方面在老国片里挺不错，剧作上的起伏设计，流畅剪辑的技巧，固然通病也是存在的，但总体上能够让我看进去，并愿意看下去，就此而言本片修复乃至复映的价值是可以肯定的。
李白烈士，您所期盼的黎明，到了。
不知道为啥这么一部老电影，竟然和长津湖、狙击手等一起上了豆瓣的近期热门战争片榜。也没有字幕，所以台词听起来有些费劲。觉得好可惜，马上都要解放了，却被发现了。
1.敌人在丧心病狂下确实会失去理智，做出很多匪夷所思的愚蠢举动
向以李侠（原型李白）为代表的那个时代“永不消逝的电波”们致敬！
最后的告别语挺感人的，加一星。但是整体不是很有感觉，毕竟我已脱离了时代，节奏缓慢，文戏多，跳跃多，着实有些枯燥。
电影踬仆的遥远无比
