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.
毫无疑问是近年最好的民俗恐怖之一，结果此地网络的最高评价是晦气，嗯。
很喜欢拍摄方式，相信晦气的和qq空间不转不及格的是一批人
这个剪接的顺序很奇怪，作者性太强，但某种程度上与伪纪录的形式相悖。调度有些凌乱，些许下咒的内容令人会有生厌的反感，我知道这是想吓唬人也知道这就是个电影，但是这种方式跟电影结束之后字幕告诉你没鬼都是精神病其实某种诡异的有异曲同工之处……我们什么时候能放开了拍邪教和这些邪事儿呀
不恐怖，倒是恶心。电影拍的好不好另说，心术不正，啥才华手段都救不了。诱导念咒的时候就觉得有问题，结局果然恶毒。导演鬼蜮伎俩，无论观众信不信，那种幼稚又险恶的心思都挺恶心人的。常言道 爱出者爱返,福往者福来，善有善报，恶有恶报，既然导演那么喜欢散发诅咒，那就让导演收到他所有诅咒反弹，包括他那什么狗屁小天使，厄运缠身，不得安宁，享尽一切痛苦吧~~~（笑死了，这破电影吐槽几句就有脑残粉跳脚了，私信攻击还拉黑，果然粉随正主，一样阴暗龌龊上不得台面）
导演有点坏啊居然想对观众下咒。导演：跟着我念。无神论者ISTP：就不（第一反应绝对有诈）。（第一次觉得自己有点反人格的性格完美避开了导演深深地恶意）（doge红酒干杯.jpg
最近几年的恐怖片都要搞一些结合直播/手机摄影/短视频伪纪录什么的，有点滥俗。拉观众入伙算是某种新创意但是过于粗暴以至于显得不是太地道。
至于导演的野心：一字宇宙
午夜凶铃似的传播、感染，看谁信了邪。对于伪记录式恐怖，我是完全过滤的，但影片结尾的诅咒，就像面孔上溃烂的百双眼睛，像密密麻麻的齿龈，密布的恶虫要往脑子里不安地钻
最后一部分的反转既是对主题的升华又是一种对电影的破坏，所谓的“晦气”在我看来是一种冒犯性，一开始赤裸裸摆明了伪纪录片的形式做好了是否相信的充分铺垫，再最后用反转同时强化/打破真实性。在结合最后纪念女儿，更是将整部影片提升到了形成一种仪式的真实感上。内容上是一个走投无路的反派女主不断扩散诅咒，形式上是导演利用、操纵女主在扩散诅咒，否则无法实现诅咒的扩散与传播。甚至解决了一部分伪纪录片恐怖片里的视点问题，当然中间还是有很多瑕疵尤其是回忆捉鬼小队那部分的内容充满了破绽
导演真的故意恶心人，大姨真的给我吓着了，结局我都麻了，我在想电影怎么还不结束还不结束，啊，怎么还没结局？大姨不会又出来吧？！没剧情也不能就硬拖吧，这两个小时真的给我看麻了各种初中生吓人的小把戏，转发这条说说你就可以免于诅咒？还玩密集恐惧真的很无聊，大多数的恐怖设计都是别人用过的，镜头真的很刻意没有镜头语言，故意拍记录，故意给特写，别大家都看网络上的短视频看到没有审美了吧？昨天我刚看的死亡录像谁能也体验一下这种感觉？最后我想说的是，给我的这条评论点个有用就能消除你内心的恐惧 :)
细腻而真实。疫情相关的电影就是需要这样的反思。Jodie的演技好有张力…
先不说晦气不晦气的事情吧，作为亚系恐怖片肯定是非常合格的，屡次想起看解除好友2时的不适感，打破第四堵墙和观众互动，把“意念改变现实”的概念植入的很新鲜，脑海里搜刮一番除了《僵尸》我还真找不到近些年能比这部更吓人的恐怖片了，梗都颇为老套，somehow还是吓到了我很多次，如果能去电影院看就太好了，可能我对这种反诅咒的恶意手段整体就不是很在意，不喜欢的话就别看了
大罗法咒！
觉得看恐怖片晦气的sjb还是不要看恐怖片了，觉得晦气还特意找盗版来看是不是脑子不好
富强、民主、文明、和谐、自由、平等、公正、法治、爱国、敬业、诚信、友善。
最后，诅咒反弹给这部电影的编剧和导演！
煽动性的，虚假的，Meme式的，面对面的，当代的。
感觉在看海清演恐怖片……这个电影怎么诅咒观众啊！！！中间那段视觉残留带来的冲击真的让人不适了。作为恐怖片而言手法确实很牛。
期待近一年的华语恐怖电影，乡俗宗教+语言在伪纪录片形式的加持下代入感不错，伪纪录片通病-无论何时何地都要拍-难以避免，剧情算是意料之内，中规中矩，所幸有叙述剪辑弥补，时间线交叉慢慢抵达真相，层层诱导观众的互动设计并不新鲜，但似乎仍有不少人真情实感上纲上线，不由得想起某款游戏，反思迷信却因一张符纸而被特定地区封禁，有种虚构作品内核与现实互相呼应的感觉。
心理承受能力差者，或者真的相信诅咒者，请慎重观看！！不然会觉得晦气。
