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.
这个系列真的很适合拍成电影 都比书好看。。。
全靠卡司撑，剧情一般般。且没有质量过关的字幕全靠机翻字幕着实有浪费了，怪自己太心急。
本片改編於東野圭吾同名小說，為《假面飯店》的續集，依舊是木村拓哉與長澤雅美的男女主角陣容。此片相比前作，節奏有些緩慢，但更突出偵破案件的主線，與前作以大酒店為背景折射人世百態不同，本片更像是帶有大酒店背景的犯罪推理片。此片最大亮點放大了前作中的戲劇碰撞，木村拓哉為首的警察與以長澤雅美為首的酒店工作人員的兩種不同職業操守的衝撞，各自立場的博弈充滿了戲劇上的張力，相反論推理元素反而中規中矩，無甚亮點。
虽然悬疑诡计设计一般，但是实在对人物和故事发生背景建立了一定感情，三星又打不出来。讲真，长泽雅美真的是日本宝藏级的女演员，不是说她演技或者长相有多么出众，而是她真的就是如此让人难以忘记，我没有很喜欢她，但她就是给我一种没人可以替代的感觉，当然木村拓哉就不说了，同理。除去长泽大妈，其他几位女性老戏骨，救个大命，出场即保障氛围感。可恶，日本怎么这么多氛围感美女。
文戏略拖沓所以快进了。每个人的动机处理的还是清楚的。但是闪回镜头和慢镜头都太多。战斗场面惊人的弱，让人感觉整个永恒族的防御力都超低。伊卡洛斯被爱情和目的感挤压的自杀，这个剧情处理倒是很好。原子弹的败笔是挺伤害民族情感的，在西方视野中反而是跟日本共情，可见全球化的结果
前面那部好歹是乱中有详细的支线，这次就纯粹是搞成一锅粥，营造各种奇怪的烟雾弹。前后设计两场探戈不知道有什么意义，更让我在意的是那位名字叫做曾野昌明的男人，最后他的两个女人一个被捉一个面临生命危险，儿子都被警察叫去问话了，而他却去个便利店结果一去不回，成功被所有人遗忘。麻生久美子有点惊艳到我，气势不减当年，还多了许多时间带来的韵味。
断案就像儿戏，动不动就跑后台开几十人的家族会议，合适吗？虽然大神和masami的cp很养眼，但毫无细节铺垫的硬捆绑有必要么，是因为隔壁东出出事了怕观众没有临时cp救济粮？
日本的贺岁片，从卡司到置景都很养眼，用警察和酒店两种职业理念制造的冲突也挺有趣，总体来说比上一部要好一些，但罪犯的这个犯罪动机实在太没说服力了。
感觉比前作好点但也没好很多，可能观影的主要目的就是木村拓哉和长泽雅美吧。
每次都被酒店line感动流泪！男男共舞立刻猜到了是铁蹄。。。铁蹄姐姐好帅！
好久没啃全生肉了，之前一直看着蓝光发售日期，原本想等字幕组没想到出事儿了，还是得硬啃啊，整体比第1部而言感官要好很多，而且从叙述手法上调整了小说的叙事结构，增加了一定的悬疑成分，只不过最后选角有一点儿小问题，而且麻酱有点遭不住近景大镜头了，3.5星
披着推理剧外衣的偶像剧：镜头只要一过木村拓哉就讲究得精美无死角。破案过程象闹着玩，但时时处处维护的，雕琢般的仪式感，形成特有文化气质，看着值得玩味。
舞台剧电影。木村最后嘴遁犯人也不忘撩……
明星比上集少，也显得更无聊，如果要拍下集只能指望麻酱和小日向文世搞个行骗天下联动来拯救了。
补标。假面原著系列其实就不咋样（拍的仿佛日本酒店宣传片
What a convoluted mess. 我不知道制作者们有没有想过，这样描写永恒族，是几乎剥夺了人类文明所有的agency，这对我来说是远比节奏，角色等等剧本技术性更深更大的问题。
最后的破案比较莫名其妙，整体依旧比较平淡。
依然是卡司阵容大于一切的作品，麻生久美子好赞！！！
真是无法忍受某国人的虚伪做作，离了个大谱，莫名其妙的犯罪动机，还硬要合理化酒店员工的表不准行为，无语
逐渐能接受东野圭吾式的日式推理剧了，不疾不徐地推动破案的剧情。
