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.
加菲太适合扮演这个角色，演技好、与原型像。
从In the Height到这部，大概真的跟林曼威无缘了。穷困潦倒不被理解的艺术家故事早已被拍烂，本该突出的社会背景几乎完全就是背景，廉价的绿幕更加让影片的时代感大打折扣。听完伯恩斯坦紧跟着再听这部真的太不够听了
完成度不错，可惜只是一部没有丁点独创性的平庸之作。这类影片往往以“拥有自毁倾向的艺术家对抗无趣世界”为主题，其中必有“男主角过度投入工作，导致与女主角感情破裂”和“男同朋友在争吵中说出自己HIV阳性”等大量烂俗戏份，此类量产冲奥传记片我已经要看吐了。

其实不是很喜欢加菲，说不上来的感觉，不算喜欢，也不讨厌。看了乔纳森的照片，两个的相貌，还是有许多相像之处的。
没想到人物弧光落在了白人男性觉醒，然后开始尊重女性和LGBT权利。就这点屁事从13年《为奴十二年》到现在了还在拍。
十余年来时常倚靠一部剧集提供情绪价值足够可悲，而《唐顿庄园》似乎永远工整、高标准、符合期待，使我不能不指望。基于此的，我的意志只被允许终于无法对其产生情感反馈的那刻。
这么多季了精气神还在，超棒。以及，好想去南法度假……
看完没想到后劲这么大，怅然若失。前面有多甜蜜，最后我就哭得有多惨。大家都有了归宿，也好。再见了，再见。
给LMM跪了，歌写得好，拍电影居然也这么棒，完美的电影化，超过In the Heights一个La La Land吧
11.27 年度音乐（剧）片，LMM用电影导演处女作证明了他已经革新了当今宽街音乐审美，没犯大错+完成度高，还要啥自行车，预习吉屋出租后才能捕捉到海量彩蛋，To Jonathan Larson！
"you start writing the next one, and after you finish that one, you start on the next, and on and on, that's what it is to be a writer."
看完之后完全理解了LMM为啥不拍自己写的剧却要来拍这个传记作品了，这是知音的灵魂碰撞，也是艺术家前后辈间的传承。Respect.
孙女是不是《神奇动物在哪里》的女主角？
我也喜欢被爱引导，so why not five⭐
滴答滴答倒数，拉森的三十岁来得太早，而他的三十六岁永远没有到来，林聚聚在音乐剧方面的才华让另一位天才的坎坷之路串接着倒数时刻的演出美妙地呈现出来，当然要算上加菲无可挑剔的表演，八年熬出的傲慢进不了百老汇，那就潜心创作下一部剧。
加菲有追求，有前途～ 虽然现在看着还有点像表演工作室的学生…故事好美，每一个Jon人生中的时刻都牵动人心，但LMM这种快剪真的是看着好难受…可能老了受不了这么多又晃又快切的镜头。这是theatre没法剪辑后遗症么，能拍电影了就疯狂切镜头？
Like Mary said: I wish you well. And I hope you will be as happy as our crule world allows.
年度惊喜，加菲表演太精彩了，剧情流畅，感情细腻，配乐更是美妙。主角团队演唱的每一首歌都超级好听，故事中透露着力量。导演用的叙事手段很高明和传记本尊故事一样激动人心，紧扣人心。一场无与伦比的视听盛宴。
创作者真的就是一句表扬都是动力，不需要他人认可的创作者说不存在的，抱着女朋友想着创作那一幕真的很灵，这个人，很立体。
