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.
咋滴最后是诈尸了还是鬼魂出身出来复仇了？这样的男人你不早点看清楚认明白还等啥呢？连你都不信，还不让他早点玩蛋去！不过这剧情也的确是莫名其妙，后面说连环杀手抓住了，结果邻居和她还是被抓住杀了，那到底谁是连环杀手？想表达什么呢，有人偷看绝对就是变态？搞不懂，最后的结果也是一头雾水……
世界主流的题材，女性独居应该还是中国最安全。。。
女人要相信自己的第六感，出门在外要保护好自己
略微多冗长了些 看不下去的即视感扑面而来 类型化严重
还行，氛围和镜头很赞，最后结局虽然有些不合理倒也颇具戏剧性。
氛围特别棒，被人监视跟踪的敏感与不适看得我简直喘不过气。这样来看，男性在生活中习以为常的某些场景在女性看来都是一场冒险。
细节抓的挺到位……那样的房子其实我也想过要住一下……就是细节太多了，全部在最后12分钟释放
让人不寒而栗，手枪立了flag，就知道女主一定会用到。
有什么能比现实中扭曲的人更让人感到惊悚的呢。情节还是单薄了些，结局有点理想化并太过仓促。
氛围感很不错。近年比较流行这种窥探类电影。
我真心觉得，最后应该顺手给她丈夫一枪，反正男人都该死
三星半吧，怎么接连看了两部恐男片。真感觉能体会女性恐惧的还得是女性，能拯救的还得是自己。
不知道有多少对本地现状的描绘。
没想到的是，答案早就在最开始就揭晓，女主一直是对的，为什么就是不相信一个正常人的判断？
女主有点像凯拉奈特莉，唯一的亮点，实在没兴趣看情节发展是什么，很认真的讲一个这样的故事干嘛，去骗小孩子吧，
那样可能会酿成悲剧……
监视者怎么老演变态，可能是因为长得就真变态
惊悚氛围和镜头美感都不错。男主从始至终就没信过女友，挺窒息的。有时候面相这东西不能不信
其实还可以，面对男友的不信任，自己单干，最后假死反杀，小反转，小惊喜，大快人心
把女性困境的无助感营造得很饱满，身边的男人靠不住，警察的助纣为虐，失心疯的错乱，如果没有抢，女性要怎么保护自己？
