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.
司机就是强奸犯的这个反转确实没想到，千万不要让肖央或是陈思诚或是其他的一些导演看到这部片子，要不然就会被收编到《误杀》系列了
剧情节奏很好，没有歌舞表演的印度电影越来越合我的胃口，影片立意很好，反映社会问题，印度电影在女性题材上真的做了很多。另外，说跟误杀像的，我真的黑人问号，这部片子误杀了谁了？
立意很好，但实在受不了印度电影拖沓的节奏，时常出现的慢镜头，最无法容的的是乡土剧水准的配乐，真的，现在国内很多网剧的配乐都比这个高级。。
一部处处显而易见故意为之的电影。bug

1⃣️突然登上豆瓣热搜榜的印度电影：一名幼儿园老师绑架了16名小学生并提出一系列要求时，不仅震撼了孟买警察和城市，而且在全国引起了反响
这电影看了两天，睡着4次，前面大数据的味儿太浓，结局已经不关心了，就那点事。
题材很好，但是前期铺垫过长，线索给得太少，悬疑感就靠音效加持，很快就没耐心看下去。
2.5。重点在最后两段“演讲”上，以至于前一个半小时几乎毫无进展。陈思诚：我要买来拍误杀3！
印度电影的bgm有点魔性了，剧情一开始抛出了太多悬念，以至于后面就是人物悉数登场，简单的答疑，没有了叙事。没有不好看，也没有特别难看。生肉版增加了太多笑点😂
内容差点意思，明显一副用力过猛的样子
2022年3月20日存想看，4月3日下载，4月4-5日看完。剧情的表面是一位印度女老师绑架所有孩子的故事，但是深度下面则是再次敲击了印度女性权益的问题。故事的套路借鉴了很多电影，但是结果不算俗套。只是女总理来现场这里的逻辑有点崩溃。这是在疫情状况下拍完的一部电影，很不容易的印度小品电影。存于硬盘8/其他地区电影/2022看过。
题材很好，但是前期铺垫过长，线索给得太少，悬疑感就靠音效加持，很快就没耐心看下去。
自从看了三年A班后，就免疫了一切绑架题材电影，但说实话，这部电影不好看的原因只是在于，作为一部电影，它是不好看的，单这一点，就无法让我继续深入它所要探讨的印度女性命题，这种商业化、类型化的表达，远远没有现实主义表达来得更有说服力
越往后看越吸引人，电影的讲述方式十分现代化，利用网络和社会舆论推进剧情发展。
有点「荒蛮故事」的爽感，也有「日本之耻」的效用，更多个伊藤诗织和亚米站出来，这个世界终会少些邪恶。
it's all about justice.
蛮有意义的，但是这剧情和节奏真的不能忍，7分撑死了
这电影能看到国内外进几年好多同类型作品的影子，远到《3年A班》《沉默的真相》近到《开端》《新蝙蝠侠》……
一部现实意义超越电影本身的佳作。印度跟韩国很类似，总能非常勇敢地将国家存在的问题拍成电影。想起之前经典的《熔炉》，因为一部电影，改写国家的法律。有关印度女性被强奸的问题并不是什么新鲜事，却依旧震撼于片中借女主之口提到的官方统计数据：“平均16分钟，就有一位印度女性被强奸...”，除女性问题本身，电影同时也提出一个被讨论过无数次的问题：平民投诉无门，最后是否只能诉诸暴力来获得国家机器的关注？
