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.
这样的妈妈太窒息了，不作为的爸爸同样令人绝望
把那种亲情捆绑撕破的很彻底，其实这个一直是个很敏感的问题，
看似美好的家庭，其实都是母亲营造出来的假象。
剧情比较空，但结局留了足够的空间让人浮想联翩。
小女孩和她妈妈真的蛮漂亮的，就是剧情有点无趣，唯一的看点就畸形家庭
这个小女孩瘦骨嶙峋的样子莫名让我想到钛（。。一般
看到一家人对待生物无比变态 就看不下去了 ！
病态的家庭环境下孵化出更病态的孩子……22.05.24
因为里面的剧情都很现实和扎心，
把人工智能换成蛋…剧情基本一样。孵出的是啥？鸟人？鸟变人？
有《钛》的味道。一个破碎的原生家庭：软弱的爸爸、虚荣和控制欲强的妈妈，孵化了一个黑暗嗜血的女儿。
两星给修理工，So Cut But Sexy，My Love. 低配版的黑天鹅，人家是黑天鹅，这部是大乌鸦…..
陪女儿去看，童年在课堂偷偷看了那么多郑爷爷的童话，欠他一张电影票，今天终于补上了，电影情节不完美，拍摄手法也不是那么成熟，但是被小女主给感动到了，那清静明澈的眼神，内心的善良与爱，正是我们每一个人越长大越离我们远去的东西。
还挺喜欢近些年北欧拍的奇幻类电影，有想象力，有人文思考。
芬兰恐怖片是要集百家精华自成一派吗，看到很多经典恐怖片的影子。跟《无辜者》有点相似，都是小孩主演，加上色调、氛围与诡异的情节，同工异曲。虚伪家庭这个主题，说实话不够“重”，要不是海报或有人提点，很难想到这主题。小女孩演得不错了。女母亲演技很可，但颜值我觉得有点....还是给5分
这片看似惊悚，孵化人形大鸟，其实就是家长的教养理念，隐喻的特别好
国内的儿童魔幻电影仿佛停留在2000年，全剧组人员都毫无灵气，把一板一眼、中规中矩、劳民伤财体现在方方面面，看得味如嚼蜡。相比国外《潘神的迷宫》，十几年过去，精灵出现的场景仍然历历在目，心驰神往。导演还是转行去做快手吧。
芬兰版奇蛋物语...主演换日本人的话也毫无违和的剧情..."尤其现代东亚父母和儿童不宜的摇篮曲"...
#38th Sundance# 表面完美家庭 实则畸形母爱 借怪物展现重压之下女儿的内心与反抗
北欧清新风的一部家庭问题导致成长恶化的90分钟小片，特效还算细致，可惜相似的类型和观感太多，感觉没太出彩
