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.
Make Asian great again!
男主角出场的时候，当然知道套路，但是镜头扫到他脸上的时候，我还是发出了银铃般的笑声。这片子，开玩笑，一点也不差好嘛，我看得好高兴，很多设计编排竟然神奇的化解了那些俗套带来的感受，而且我不得不说男主对这片子是有功劳的，喜欢。
爱情小品，总之还不错，女主的颜值稍微有点崩，不过不算太影响，主要没有想到的是欧阳万成的演技挺不错的。
圣诞气氛营造得还不错，一边打破stereotype一边制造出更多的cliché. 看到结尾女主拿着纸板道歉只想说大可不必，love actually真是被碰大瓷了。
2.5 Mid November is too early for this
really surreal and silly but kinda feel we need it
好笑的爆米花电影 虽然猜到了结局但真的一点都没有cp感
Netflix流水线电影overdose的一天。
Nina Dobrev还是那么美😍Darren Barnet已经变成chick flick hot guy专业户了吗哈哈 鬼知道最后致敬love actually那一段我哭得有多惨😭ps.美国人真的11月开始过圣诞🎄实锤 pss.真正的幸福是从爱自己开始的（百说不腻的鸡汤
杜波夫小姐姐也老了……jimmy欧阳的演技还挺不错的
挺好看的，比较温馨浪漫，男主挺可爱的。轻松的剧。
很俗套的故事，但因为男主是Jimmy, 可以看！
超级爆米花无脑电影，每个人都很平面，大致的情节走向也能猜到，但是仍然很解压
可又到holiday season了 看啥都是cliche的节日味
五星给欧阳万成。这么白的电影类别里他能当男主就是圣诞奇迹了。以及他演得很细腻，我们这种从小就长得不好看，爱而不得的悲伤，他演得特别好
记得标记想看的时候还没有评分，大概是加入豆瓣十年来第一次不带着先入为主的预期轻轻松松欣赏一部电影。仍然愿意给个高分。两个主角都比较饱满，揭示了互联网时代慢慢品尝爱、领悟爱的真谛的道理，还致敬了我最爱的真爱至上。
终于给《虎胆龙威》和《真爱至上》之外可以搞一个别的电影了。欧阳这么看，怎么竟然真的有点可爱？准备重温欧阳的专场
挺好，希望这样的片子以后能越来越多。像欧阳万成这样的亚裔男主，别说白妹了，能在tinder上被亚裔女性匹配估计都呛。但稀有不代表不正常，以前是太不正常了。就电影本身而言，普通的网飞大数据类型片，主打观众应该是亚裔？
15分鐘後，凸- -凸。滿屏尷尬滴看完了。
挺无语的，男的拿照片骗了她，还跟她说了，没想到跟她有进一步，结果女生后面还爱上他,爱上这个男的就真的无语了..如果你过去被拐卖了，那就是另一个故事了 只能说:网恋需谨慎.
