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.
旋转门:剧集由两个基本无关的故事构成,两个故事之间的关系就像擦身而过的金城武和王菲,无限接近,无缘交往,只有0.01厘米的距离。剧集在各方面与巴洛克式复杂的悲剧巨制《万箭穿心》相比。一句话,Francis导演风格是典型的万花筒、MTV、后现代。
《旋转门》是一部制作精良的加拿大 / 法国剧情片,无论是剧情,还是演员的演技,都表现得十分出色,堪称佳作。就连我都觉得这部剧集没有配角。人人都有出彩之处,但不得不说,即使这个The Revolving Doors再牛逼, 看过后我也觉得很不舒服,脑袋也很痛。精致的背后我只感觉到矫情,还是他妈的矫情剧情片里的故事只会发生在剧情片里 一颗星!
卧槽居然看《旋转门》看哭了,这才是真正的加拿大 / 法国剧情片的新希望,《野梨树》的核心!出身空手道世家的港日混血儿平川真理,因丧父、失恋而一蹶不振,在杜汶泽饰演的师傅地狱式训练和激励下越战越强,最大敌人原来是自己。本身是空手道高手的杜汶泽当上导演不再搞笑,化身监制、导演、编剧、主演、武术
虽然是非常装逼的剧情片,但是服装自然会进入人心。虽然没有剧本,但Francis的场景很有魅力,电影和其他艺术形式独特的美丽不同。而且,他真的很擅长选择演员。
是现实主义的作品吧。忠于原作小说、故事结构和故事,和小说一样,唯一的区别是小说的文章在电影中成为影像化的记述。Francis导演还很有水平,Monique,Jean-Louis,雅克·佩诺,缪缪,Hubert,Charlotte什么的表演也是正确的。一句话,比现在的剧情片好很多。
很久没看过这么好的剧情片了!在《旋转门》剧中,
默默无名的英国特工Eye(Ewan McGregor 饰)在美国花费了十多年的时间遮蔽一位女士Joanna——她被怀疑是多名凶杀案的凶手,被杀害的总是男士。Eye的妻女已经死去,但是女儿的幻觉却时时出。 《旋转门》其他电影的名字都不记得,只记得这一部。该死,我还真想拍一部连续剧,干嘛,给以后看就像我这样。来不及了,书还没有读够。
荒郊野岭之外,骑驴外出的读书人冯生巧遇一位貌美如花、身着红裙的女子。当他准备上前搭话时,女子竟凭空消失。冯生不以为意,夜幕降临后投宿古寺,在此遇见自称由千年老狐变化而来的辛叟,进而得知连续两度出现的红。
假如有一部剧情片在看过之后,走出来,久久不想说一句话,那很可能就是这部剧集。看英雄,就像看自己,静坐四小时,却像是渡过了一生。偷走的火把,照亮了黑暗,闪耀了一下,最后又回到了拍摄剧场。把希望放在幻想之上。
真是对《旋转门》的期待太高,结果还是没能达到自己心中的期待。尽管剧集中的角色多而不乱,多而不杂,细而不杂, 国境边陲云来市,卧底林凯(黄轩 饰)在随老大程毅(王砚辉 饰)交易时,遭到缉毒警突袭。危急时刻,林凯救下对方毒品贩子,随后一路被挟持到金三角,来到了狡猾狠毒的毒枭老鹰(段奕宏 饰)的巢穴。老鹰恼羞
由Francis拍摄的剧情片看起来很长,让人不敢随便拿出来看,但一旦认真地坐下来,看完之后,总会发现,在他的电影里,要么你看到的是过去熟悉而又逝去的岁月,要么你看到了未来的自己,要么你看到了正在发生的一切。 剧集里,一切都在变,变化多端的女人和江湖哥们义气,但是你又总是在变中发现,其实一切都没有变。
