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.
第一次看这种"剧本杀"式的故事，还挺新鲜的，几个反转也算有趣。
器官移植 孩子乞讨 🐙
商业片，有点故弄玄虚的意思，感觉是应把反转逻辑灌输给观众，镜头切换主人公，硬切，不够自然。
剧本杀，而且全员恶人。许多情节看似突兀，回想起来确实又交代过，想玩黑色幽默吧又不具备那个艺术细菌，新晋导演的牛刀小试，勉强及格了，6.0/10。
这种片子在类型开头就必须有“巧合”要设置的妙，马明亮和人贩子的强行亲戚关系，就是另一大拙劣点，没有铺设的巧合，编剧为了故事继续只能强开“金手指”。最后一把火的意外，明显是故事编不下去，必须剧情杀三个，不然外卖员不会主动暴露。
突然的开始，突然的结束，影片毫无惊喜，影院对于观影来说真的太重要了ಥ_ಥ
封闭空间和多线叙事，技术和文本不行，电影就容易垮。前者还不错，摄影配乐美术都出彩，不过剧本上逻辑漏洞太多，很多推动设置的刻意和生硬，想拍出层层递进、层层反转的感觉，起码剧本上得逻辑自洽，这点是非常可惜的。而且很多戏份都花在人物视角上的重复，不如多一些人物背景让故事更饱满，总体上还是缺点多于优点，想法领先手法。
题材不新颖，但完成度真的很高，💯观影体验！国产犯罪悬疑商业类型片需要更多能达到这个水准的片子，越多越好~
张颂文没啥发挥的地方可惜了。
很精彩。几乎限制在单一空间里，连环遭遇情节与喜剧反应一起，很踩着节奏，也忍不住笑。窦骁演技亦不拖范伟后腿，微表情牵动心理活动，牵动笑点
白瓷关公像碎了一地，在闭环的房间只有心存善念活到了最后。没有残障就算是半成品，一个月的加工得让多少不速来客在世上横行。推出冻成冰块的百万现金，在大屏幕上直播，躲得过易燃制冷液的爆炸，躲不过天道有轮回。
看得出来有用心和努力，但终归了欠了一点火候，最大的问题是让观众全程几乎没有代入感，太生硬和干瘪了
个人非常无感这种反转再反转的剧情。除了反转本身，就很没意思。没意思程度相当于赵本山的脑筋急转弯和王建国的谐音梗。
还不错，空间感小了些，所以有点像实验话剧。
其实还可以的，就是前些年这种类型的看多了。但怎么着这也是部难得完整的作品吧
挺不错的悬疑喜剧片，可惜也是选错了档期。密室悬疑杀人案，不同角色的逐渐加入，让剧情有了不同角度的解读。特别是刻意隐瞒身份的角色，让剧情更加扑朔迷离。梁超演的尤老板戴眼罩那段很搞笑，喝了牛奶乳糖不耐受拉肚子那段又有点恶心。缺点是不同角色经历的情景有完全相同的重复片段，换个角度拍也不至于减分。
看得出导演受昆汀影响挺大，不过倘若在叙事方式上直接借用章回体分段叙事，效果会更好，现在呈现出来的叙事效果就像是一部电影被倒放了四次。
不断推倒重来的剧情，不停反转的人物，一个房间内的悬念迭起。虽然有bug，但还是很吸引人的。
有人关在307，有人关在厕所里。
没有电影大气上档次的feel，一股土味咋回事儿。。。。然后最后竟然是解救被拐卖卖去要饭的孩子。。。。
