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.
魏翔三次舔刀那里全电影院都笑没气了。马丽这样丰腴的样子倒蛮适合这个扮相，太美了。
Javier Bardem 曾經有人稱佢為外國版的黃秋生。早期一些B級電影做變態角色也難不倒佢，反而我更喜歡佢演這類資本家的角色，今次的演出的確非常好！
虽然站在老板的角度能理解其动机，但公司终究是反人性的存在
本片对于老板还有众员工的塑造也是极其精准。
哈维尔巴登演技爆表，剧本围绕小老板一周的构思很精巧，非常值得一看，一部西班牙电影却拍出了属于我们的真相
一个极具讽刺意味的黑色故事，看过哈维尔·巴登对角色的演绎，难以想象再有其他演员能够表演出这种效果，各方面都堪称无懈可击。四星。
看这种片我一个人看大概是很难笑出来，但旁边有一个笑点比较低的人开始笑的话，我也就跟着笑了，快乐也许是会传染的吧。
极尽讽刺之能事。一位“竭心尽力”将公司打造成大家庭的老板，打着关心的幌子做着操纵他人的行为，一切努力都是出于自身利益。天秤雕塑的隐喻很妙，资本主义下哪有真正的公平，维持平衡的其实是藏在天秤下的那一颗子弹。
居然认真地看了一部喜剧，救火救得全世界着火的好老板，哈哈
经过中国现实毒打的我不得不说，这个老板可真不容易啊，最后终于开窍了
大男主，巴登一个人在那儿嘚瑟，颇有当年蘑菇头杀手的风采
看一看笑一笑没什么，硬要说是电影梦，那就得问你说的电影到底是什么。造景虚浮、人物关系虚假，都是和电影相反的价值。
看到一半电影院有人打架，然后场面非常热闹，其中一个女的还在那煽风点火，说我老公弄死你们，对面是一帮高中生or大学生，正好为了逞能，于是他们在为了要不要打架还吵了半天，场面很热闹
走出影厅时，恰逢隔壁厅的《奇迹笨小孩》同时散场。看着他们湿润的眼眶，听着他们三三两两、不绝于耳的赞叹声，我感觉我肠子都要的悔青了。（《这个杀手不太冷静》+《李茂换太子》，这哥俩儿真是用实力证明了「谐音梗必摆烂」这句话的可信度与准确性）
大过年的不想被教育 不想走心 不想有什么内心深层次细腻的触动 笑就完事儿～
可惜了不是真的在嘲讽福报文化，只是一个西班牙生活喜剧，一个小企业主逐渐失去掌控的生活，揭露人性的虚伪。《饥饿站台》那么触动社会矛盾根本的作品总是不多。
就像中国的制造业起步一样，拿过来、删功能、减成本，俗称“山寨”降级版。跟三谷幸喜当然没法比，《魔幻时刻》（电影节观看）所能达到的影院全观众magic hour的气场，这部完全不行。抛开前作不谈，前半部分相对顺理成章且好笑。后面加进来的元素，像是春节档定制。魏翔和马丽的演出令人印象深刻。P.S. 马丽的身材原来这么好
中国版《魔幻时刻》？但愿别拍砸锅了。// 2.9看完，改编的略平庸，不过魏翔的演技是真的好。
就…太舞台剧了太小品了。不是说悬浮肯定不好，只是这个没浮好，也不是说不能套路，但抄套路也多少得给点新东西。魏翔没创作出一个新的“尹天仇”或属于他的小人物。为了他杀青时的眼泪，多给一颗星。
