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.
先码后评。有种央视6高清电影的质感，但潮汕的人情味拍得很出彩。
特别真诚，特别感人，戏剧冲突甚至有点套路，但是架不住真实感。潮汕话跟闽南语好多用法都一样，是属于一个语系吗？
妈妈和大爷大妈演的都挺自然！男猪脚有点儿夸张，用力过猛。故事也有点儿太刻意，为了表达而去设计一些桥段，但是一看就太刻意了，好好的简单讲故事不好吗？不知道上班的时候是不是住在一起，回老家了要不要这么猴急啊？！老妈不会普通话，儿子在旁边看着女朋友听不懂出丑？如果直接把男女主演去掉或者改成配角，妈妈奶奶和家里人的生活看着挺有意思的。。。
在最后在飞机上男主用手机给妈妈拍视频的时候，妈妈说了一句“妈妈是不是好没用啊”破防啦
用十分朴素的方法讲了一个十分朴素地故事，搭配起来刚刚好
男女主演技太灾难了，很难不让人出戏，部分台词也过于刻意，全片cp感最好的竟然是男主的父母
来了深圳一个月之后看了一部潮汕电影，来了南方才知道原先的很多戒备其实并不需要，相通的事物（送礼时的推三阻四、老乡之间的相见恨晚）扑面而来的是亲切，城市和原乡之间的撕裂被语言不通的喜感和习俗化解。套路式的爱情被潮汕化，演变成两代人之间相互服从习惯的故事，静静地感受生活后能看上这样一部电影，不悲不喜就是对每一天最好的勉励…
现实生活的矛盾，妈妈看得反而没有奶奶清楚。
这种语言不通带来的隔阂还真有点让我想到李安的电影，非常特色的潮汕文化，还挺真实的。
真的好有爱的片子啊！妈妈演技好自然好自然好妈妈，又可爱又真实，最后第一人称的vlog拍摄简直神来之笔，把转折的突兀都给磨过去了！好棒！真是一部处处都有美的片子，这踏马才是深圳！比什么小孩强多了！
意外不错，就算听不懂潮汕话也很容易感到潮汕的氛围
故事剧情不复杂
1. 外省人外国人，代入感极强 2. 小姐姐真是太好了 3. 素人演员不可替代
估计外地人看了大呼想逃的程度？那个姑娘大概是太缺爱，要不然自己独美倒也自在。妈妈的形象其实还是蛮立体的，能干，强硬，比较封闭，但也愿意为了孩子努力改变。
电影全过程，我又哭又笑😭😂
3父亲看似漫不经心的举动，母亲出远门特别拿了东西防止晕车，最懂你的人还是枕边人，粗中有细。
特别真诚，特别感人，戏剧冲突甚至有点套路，但是架不住真实感。潮汕话跟闽南语好多用法都一样，是属于一个语系吗？
作为一个土生土长潮汕人，我认认真真地要所有人安利这个方言电影。剧情是老套的“外来媳妇本地郎”，但是画面音乐用了心思，如果你想了解潮汕，可以去看看它。里面那个妈妈，几乎是所有潮汕女性的缩影，保守、世俗、固执，像极了我一个许久未见的女性长辈，我知道那也是我的样子。我几乎从片头哭到片尾，每一帧都是乡愁。尤其是片尾那句“我是不是很没用”，泪崩。
这部电影令我感慨万千，一是反映了潮汕地区的风土人情，二是反映了大龄适婚男青年说服家长找离异另一半的故事，三是电影中对妈妈的拍摄细致入微，还有老奶奶对孙辈早生贵子的期盼，故事结尾是喜剧，喜欢三人西湖边的合影~
能看到这个团队的进步，期待他们下一部作品
