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.
扩散诅咒是恐怖片设计剧情的基本套路，对着观众扩散也很正常，不要将“害怕”美其名曰“膈应”。这个片的问题在于剪得太乱又太长，想做成伪纪录片却有很多无拍摄源的视点。也有一些亮点，古老家族、邪神崇拜、污秽液体、不可直视，克苏鲁本土化做得不错。
不推荐。包裹着伪记录恐怖外衣的亲情片，其实还是伪记录恐怖片的一些惯用套路，而且调度和剪辑有不少不讲究的地方，好在恐怖元素比较乡土和东方。不过，可能刚好不适合我吧，最后有一种小学时候收到诅咒信的感觉，明知道是假的，但还是很膈应人。满心欢喜看一部电影，却好像吃了一只苍蝇，晦气。
电影本身没有对得上我的期待，只能说是很新奇、挺有趣、还不错。
看吗 看啊 以最凌乱的镜头
有点慢有点碎片化，不过要饭还嫌馊啊？有的看就不错了
心理+视觉的恐怖，xiejiao令人疯狂。。很神奇的是利用了视觉效果，就是解释符文的那段，你盯久了，然后符文就会出现在眼前。村庄多拍点就好了
很棒，亮点很多，respect，但是有两个点，这个片完全没必要用伪纪录片的形式拍啊，很多视角太刻意。另外佛母的脸，感觉一下跳戏了，像是西方恐怖片的概念。
我艹
恐怖片拍好了能膈应到人，你们要骂要打低分……不吓人你们又嚷嚷电影降智，拍不好可以不拍，华语影坛再无恐怖片……本大陆人觉得某些大陆巨婴观众真难伺候😬活该看一辈子正能量样板戏嗷。
看到一半就觉得这实在太克了，不可名状的上古邪神；接近真神后陷入癫狂自毁的状态；而最后的镜头简直克总发糖。很惊喜，虽然小说领域不乏优秀作品，但作为电影把亚州民俗文化和克系恐怖结合起来这应该是第一次……吧？
都说了不要进去 你非要作死 人家答应救你 让不要吃东西 你非要给她吃 最后想这么个办法出来 母女俩全死了真一点没人心疼 第一次被剧情气得半死的😅
不要跟着念那八个字!
片子一开始就企图让观众参与进去，包括镜头感。不自觉沉进去后，就挺可怕。
看完觉得我也能当编剧了：大家请看这条裙子，有人说是“蓝黑”色，有人却说是“白金”色，这就是意念的力量，我远程发功控制了你们的大脑。
不要盯着那些经文看!
女主有几个角度太像马广媚了，搞得我好出戏。。。论吓人的话其实还不如金广发那个《元组·肉艳》哈哈
别怕大家，看的是盗版资源就享受不到正版诅咒。而且看鬼片不就是看个晦气，不然看啥，把人唬住了说明效果到位。
前半段是拍得不错的，结尾的剧情走向渐渐有点看不懂用意。
在伪纪录片里创造互动挺有意思的。真不该看预告片的，全片最吓人的部分给提前给透了。
