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.
剧本一般，有点牵强，对抗性不够。女一很美，扮演死者的女三也很不错。
剧情一般，悬疑的推理、法庭戏的对决都是浅尝辄止，不深入。香港电影，能看到一帮老戏骨对戏已经很难得了，不敢奢望太高。智叔已经不在了…哎
不知道有没有人注意到片中角色的名字，尤其是曾氏父子和杨姓男子。。。我以为会很复杂，曾父和儿子在泳池边那个眼神，我以为会有一个反转，结果没有，雷律师最后被指控伪造文书时的陈述太过理想主义了，虽然起到了煽情和带节奏升华主题的作用，但是仓促中拉夸了整部电影内涵，总觉得他还想说些什么不能过审的东西。吊销执照三年，挺好的，当做休息了。
壓縮版電視劇，人物立場轉變的莫名其妙。我還沒看過香港的律政劇，感覺和法律健全國的劇還是有差距。就這什麼也沒講還被壓了四年
如果死者是个普通人家的女孩儿，故事就该是另一个走向了吧。
甘草配角真的很亮眼，鲍起静为孙求情、廖启智眼下肌肉的颤动，加了1星，剧情本身2-3星。无论贫穷富有，最重要是人走到终点时，无愧于心。
实际是三星半，剧情有点平庸，结尾有点小反转，考虑到所有都是实力派演员，演技亦都在线，放在网大上映，已经算不错了。
剧情无聊又俗套到看了一半就睡死过去，还有那该死的国语配音，可能是港片国配里最垃圾的了。。。一星烂片，不推荐！！！
剧情虽然老套，但是有板有眼，逻辑清晰合理，方中信演律师老资格了！还是那个味道！水准之上的作品。
大概知道想拔到一个什么高度，但真的不行，讲故事很一般啊，廖启智遗作，有些唏嘘，打三星。
智叔最后一部电影，走好🕯方中信实在是太帅了～～结尾突如其来的鸡汤，降维打击
五星给所有这些HK演员的演技，以及那些几十年前我就在tvb剧看到的配角们，时光流转，情怀依在。
6/10。不知道摆了两年到底剪了多少，但总体完成度还是太tvb，相当浪费方中信，智叔甚至家乐的演技，逐场戏计算是好看，拼在一起令人失望。
挺好得故事，可是非要倒序吗？想下韩国人会拍成什么样子，香港电影真得没落了
主演: 方中信 / 谭耀文 / 陈家乐 / 鲍起静 / 廖启智 / 曾江 / 张建声 / 何珮瑜 / 张松枝 / 骆应钧 / 陈嘉莉 / 陈保元 / 黄定谦
智叔太可惜了。电影3.5分，妥妥的网剧质感，。
怎样定义“公正”，每个人的角度不同，答案也很可能是不同的。法律是有不完善的地方，也有徇私枉法的官员，但法律必须要发挥衡量公正的天平作用，而不是靠某个人用职业经验的“小聪明”来维护，那是对“公正”非常危险的“挑衅”。
最后是一位有权有势的打败了另一位有权有势的，太残酷了……
一开始以为是模仿《辩护人》，后来觉得差的太远了
其实节奏还可以，但整体看下来，就是中规中矩的一部作品。
