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.
原以为是商业片，但是没想到遭遇了这种中世纪舒缓叙事（坑爹的预告骗#%）
看完挺懵逼的，出来后看到别人的背景评论才懂原来是这样。结合原本的故事看还挺奇妙的，就是有一点比较矛盾，他这么怂怎么会自愿接受游戏呢，如果改成被迫的话可能会说的通
既成的文本已然是禁锢，而打破现有认识的结构亦是自我重复的，于是足够繁多的符号却纷纷掉落了下来，观看趣味变为了对符号拾捡的趣味，我们对大卫·洛维的期待真的只是如此吗，或者他这次终被自己反噬，从这个意义上讲，电影可以看作人类永远无法走出的困局，亦是创作难以跨越的瓶颈。
我们云南人吃了毒蘑菇见小人人，男主吃了毒蘑菇见巨人😂。前中期剧情有点无聊，结尾那一段寓意很棒。经不住诱惑、不听劝告、没有勇气还喜欢一意孤行的人即使当了皇帝也终将成为一代暴君。
真沉闷呀，神叨叨的，没有相关的知识背景可能就会像我这样看起来比较不知所云。章节式叙事没有给整个电影增点什么层次，仿佛是硬生生分的；景色真美啊，想旅游。我始终无法入戏，什么任务、使命都无法引起我共情。巨人出来的时候我心跳都静止了！今晚必定做噩梦…那个吻戏咱们可以公认说是本年度最没有化学反应的吻戏吗？😂
灯将灭，方见其棱，其骨，其心。抬头，他就在。
D+ / 是我不太喜欢的一类电影，看起来是美的，视听是好的，但这种美又是数字技术所堆积出来的失去灵魂的东西，精致清晰却空洞。A24作为厂牌而成为影像风格标识的结果可能未必会比所谓“漫威”要好多少，作者意识的收敛又是否是受制于此呢。
是那种意大利导演擅拍的Nostalgia。
关于生命，死亡，与告别——与Pirandello的告别，维托里奥的告别，还有男孩对自己杀死的红发女孩的漫长告别——她的生命被永远留在童年，男孩一天天长大，终于也来到生命的暮年，即将面对与人世的告别。生命就像一个又一个轮回，但每个春天，夏天，秋天，和落雪的冬天，都有一个人坐在小小的愈发凋零的墓碑前，直到这个人也已满头白发。
烂电影海报还做得挺漂亮，看完感觉没任何收获，男主全力送死最终成功被斩首……
A24还是偏爱这种奇幻惊悚历史传说电影…如果不是坎妹的粉丝 劝你别浪费时间了 是的话 也劝你谨慎…
年轻人如何navigate他人的各种影响找到自我（identity)的故事 一开始以为和The Vvitch和Hereditary一样惊悚 慢慢觉得是不是一个coming of age story 到最后回头看整部电影觉得导演讲了一个开放式结尾的寓言故事。环绕亚瑟王的故事本就有无数种版本 无数种解说 这部电影找了一个配角作为切入点 然而故事的涵义能应用到每个时代每个年轻（男）人。
7.1分，这算是反英雄电影吗？我对高文的事迹也略知一二，简单来说，他可以对标我国的赵云，是白马王子这个词的来源。结果导演找了个印度人来演高文，关键是人物塑造的既无脑又怂，剧情也晦涩难懂，不过毕竟也是一次大胆尝试。
洛维作为新生代文艺片导演，显示了他对于影像的把控能力。本片也值得写入今年影史的作品。
色调很好，故事太差，整篇敢情是白马王子的大型造星揭秘。
我完全沉浸在中世纪氛围里出不来 看的过程中是非常专注肃穆的虽然故事的叙述其实让人有点云里雾里 但还是非常享受这种感觉
画面没得说。情绪不好看不下去。21/08/20
诗的镜头，童话的章节，神性的音乐，视听体验好的无话可说，剧情的沉浸感时有时无比较可惜，高文爵士落荒而逃到坦然面对一段蒙太奇加分，表意晦涩模糊，权力是王者的海市蜃楼，勇气是骑士的铭文丰碑。戴夫的肌肉so sexy，男演员能不能不要把胸肌和乳沟露的那么明显啊，打扰到我欣赏艺术了（不是）
一个场景所能涵盖的秘密数量似乎是无限多的，包裹，隐藏，这是最好的穿透影像。
根据2500多行英语韵文诗改编，关于亚瑟的传奇，事关中世纪骑士制度和贵族文化。类似于《封神榜》中雷震子篇的一个故事分支，跟《西游记》就别比了，同为修炼，也不是一个级别。影片拍摄的很“散文诗”，景色很美色调到位，东一句西一语，各种没头没脑的梗，剧情缓慢闲聊不少，连床戏都无趣，属于催眠类型。欧美口碑分化，49家媒体给85分，观众评分6.2。4
