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.
为两位主演量身打造的剧本（Haim表现得比小霍夫曼好多了），不能因为双线交织就当做爱情片，本质上是回归《不羁夜》拍年代群像，且有意模糊了年代感
[Aggie劇場] 哎呀媽呀 真想不到居然是這麼一個反種族主義、反警察暴力、反法西斯、反仇恨教育，大力弘揚女性力量、彩虹驕傲的影片呢。我要去反省我的直男成見了！哈哈哈哈哈……☮️
剧本平庸得让我以为自己在看伍迪艾伦，这么讲究的摄影技法配上这么垃圾的故事，或者说专注雕虫小技必然剥离故事审美的能力，不管怎么说，导演真是糟践自己，也糟践观众。
很怀旧和私人化 对家乡和故人的情怀和追忆 男主菲利普霍夫曼的儿子 女主来自同乡的HAIM乐队 片名也是70年代南加州的连锁唱片店 但这样的故事和题材对于PTA而言还是显得大材小用
明亮当中有一丝孱弱，纯真里又带着猥琐，整个就是怪鸡到不行，后半程终于松快了起来，可能是作为观众慢慢接受了这个creepy的视角（？），好几场戏的调度都可圈可点，利落准确，还有就是音乐太好听，无论是影像或声音，复古都是大势啊，接下来会循环原声碟一百遍。
好喜欢PTA不紧不慢塑造人物的感觉啊 而且能游刃有余处理复杂的文本（Ben Safdie好会演哦哈哈
What unpolished, awkward, yet sweet youthfulness.
开卡车那场很刺激，两人跑步跑得我神清气爽，复古风格也做得很好，就是没有特别的动人。片尾发现女主一家人真的是现实中的一家人…女主没换名字只换了姓氏出演
那些莫名其妙的部分是在时代的蛊惑和压力下每个人头脑中都会出现的摇摆、极端、叛逆和报复，放在一个在世俗标准下令人大跌眼镜的爱情故事里恰如其分。男主如果是18岁或20岁，故事的浪漫主义色彩将不复存在。反而是政治事件的标记太过明显，令人感到一种专制，一种目的性和野心太盛怀旧。很多人以完全颠倒的标准来评价这部电影，便更加没意思。
九命，这真的是PTA拍出来的东西么，不知所云莫名其妙，普信男（男主选角有事吗 就不可，剧情又俗又土，最后还有双向奔赴是要怎样，最惊喜的是Alana的演技以及复古场景，但Haim姐妹花们出现时以为她们随时要开始尬舞！
新形象的小马们太精细了，独角兽马果然还是颜值担当，性格设定更贴合当前，友谊线电影没有展开，略遗憾。谁能想我一个奔4的阿姨还是小马宝莉系列的死忠粉呢
看开头以为是like sunday like rain那种，看到最后原来真的是true true love（很难不代入一些普世道德观，以及不理解为什么会揽下那么多奖项，全片本人唯一激动之处在听到life on Mars的时刻，日剧跑虽然动人但看过太多太多了
也不怎么算小清新了，抛开故事有点俗气不说，两个人在这段感情里好幼稚啊，尤其男主还略显猥琐油腻...中间女主摔下摩托的时候给我笑死，还有台词是一直在打色情擦边球么？？？
看动画不用带脑子也可以忽略很多逻辑错误，好快乐好幸福。
一部青春爱情喜剧小品，对于一个“人”来说，七十年代的美国真是黄金时代！文明越多，束缚越多，虚伪越多，一个幼体结束纯真的时点越来越早……
反正看完了。
彼此错开成熟的时刻，反倒是最在乎的却也无法真正鼓起勇气面对。总觉得会有时间，因为已经知道彼此无法丢失，无法成为路人。这真的是高级的感情故事，真诚也真实。
置身于那个时代，很复古地展现了青春洋溢的女性力量
对于小女孩的杀伤力巨大...对于成人....纯亲子活动。
What a dream. Just a little bit self-indulgent as the nostalgic elements are given too much and too often，sometimes making the expression over the impression， and the instant sensation over the enduring feeling
