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.
多好啊，因为两个人不能在一起，才形成了不断试错不断冒险的奇怪磁场，经历对彼此的伤害嫉妒和守护，完成了既是各自又是共同的成长。PTA有坚定的自我和深情，表面的疯狂迷幻之下是坚固的心理现实主义，这是他一如既往的写给过去的情书
一个安德森喜欢流光溢彩的川渝火锅
谁知道脑子里都在想些什么呢？跑向对方的身体不会说谎
While acknowledging the artfulness and the technical superiority, I cannot help but ask.... why. No, literally, why?!
笑还是能笑，但是无比做作的煽情桥段败光了所有喜剧元素的好感，太烂俗的起音乐慢镜头回忆煽情然而煽不动，就全场尴尬的太难受了，导演技巧太匮乏了，做部彻底的喜剧不行吗，非要生拉硬拽个情感转折人物弧光，强行升华个锤子
这个小男主干啥啥都成是为什么我没理解，女主挺闪光的，但是跟爱情线放在一起有点相互磕绊。上门安装水床捣鬼最后差点死里逃生那段很有意思，西恩潘那段我可能走神了直接没看明白。PTA真是喜欢period以及130分钟以上没啥节制的片长啊，这片洋洋洒洒跟性本恶有的一拼，以及这应该至少是第三次拍70年代了吧。
戏外drama回潮 每逢看到CooperHoffman那张似曾相识的脸就很感伤...
竟然拍出了公路片的感觉（大概是“奔跑”太多了）。嗯，觉得PTA应该试着拍一下《拍卖第四十九批》。
推霍夫曼的崽我能理解，但在这个故事里，男孩为啥非她不可属实不懂。另外女孩长相太一般，难道是崽儿不值得所以再捎带捧个跨界歌手？故事也有点LA自嗨的感觉，没啥意思，看一半当练琴bgm
真是要在夏天夜空下看的电影，虽然标签是复古温情片，但复古做到如此不动声色和彻底是导演掌控能力的证明，方方面面都在线！在暖色中也有一些暗潮-政治/同性恋/种族/石油危机等等，幸好导演还是保持了一个让大家feel good的心。对于70年代LA这个时空太特指也导致豆瓣分数不高，毕竟这是更适合西方文艺大叔爽的片子。
介于2-3⭐之间吧。 剧情简单，中间儿子桥段实在多余而且煽情。 喜剧最核心的，其实是演员，男主看得出用心了，可这东西确实需要天赋。 我相信男主是个不错的喜剧电影配角，但主演，他撑不起来。
就如卡车以倒车的方式下坡 不用依靠石油提供动力 《甘草披萨》也可以称为重力电影 所有时间和冲突都回到私人情感的纬度 而这又无不是时代的情绪 西恩潘或是库博的角色都好有趣 “你喜欢吃花生酱三明治吗？”
丑男丑女也就算了，年龄差距也不是啥新鲜事儿，这种故事有什么可以拿出来演绎的，都是各种无聊的破事儿，所谓的创业就像儿戏。比《吸大麻的孩子》差出十条街。也就61岁的西恩·潘那场戏值得一看，库珀出来几分钟演了个啥。奥斯卡越来越三流。4
玩票。味道不错，但故事故意弄得太散了。不喜欢。小霍夫曼加油吧。
看到结尾他拽着她在黏糊糊的街上狂奔 感觉回到了几年前音乐节结束的晚上 闷热耳鸣口干舌燥 啤酒撒了一地 我们必须大声说话才能听见彼此 但是我们都很快乐（但男主的颜值我真的很努力的克服了……太丑了兄弟
PTA的精益求精和高级的审美，就是最大亮点，而本片开场的调度好得没话说
天那些老直白男演员的joke如此陈旧几乎是惨不忍睹，但也衬得alana过分可爱哩🍐💛
虽然有些地方的确挺尬的

感谢PTA带来了这部完美的青春电影，PTA构建的这个剧本就如同在纷扰、混乱、精彩的70年代的储物柜上打开了其中几扇小小的抽屉，这些抽屉却释放出各色的光芒，如彩虹般照亮了整部电影，每一个镜头和情节都是如此地举重若轻，TV秀热潮、性解放、消费主义、政治讽刺、对好莱坞黄金时代的怀念、能源危机，这些都被一段有趣的姐弟恋抢走了风头，两个人在试探、调侃、嫉妒、伤害，又互相成就和彼此成全，最后的那段转角遇见爱堪称全年最烂漫的桥段了吧，我们也终于等到了那个吻，电影中充斥着那些有趣的细节，多么美好的时代，多么真挚的感情，成功与梦想的主题就在一些争吵和调侃中被优雅地稀释掉了，跟着感觉走，世界纷纷扰扰，在洛杉矶的一隅我们得以逃离烦恼和忧愁，等待着晚霞出现在天空，霓虹点亮城市，然后好好享受这个时代独一无二的美妙与自由吧，
