　　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.

　　本片日语片名为西班牙音乐家萨拉塞蒂一九○四年演奏的唱片名,原著是黑泽明绝笔《夕阳正红》主人公、随笔家内田百闲的小说《萨拉塞蒂的唱片》,影片中这张唱片及其音乐出现在主人公青地丰二郎的家中,他那位放荡的妻子放的。青地是陆军学校的德语教师,由清顺所欣赏的中年导演藤田敏八扮演,他身材壮阔,穿着厚重的呢子西装,酷似俄罗斯人。原田芳雄所饰演的浪子中砂与青地算是旧识,但他玩世不恭,似乎没有一点正经,只喜欢追逐女人,也只有女人能让他兴奋起来。两人在旅馆中结识了艺妓小稻,看上去她对青地有意,青地也喜欢她,却不知为什么不肯和她接近,结果让中砂厚着脸皮搞到手了。青地和中砂各有妻子,青地上门做客时,赫然发现中砂的妻子园与艺妓小稻相貌一模一样,均由大谷直子扮演。园也爱上了青地,青地还是不肯接近她,她产下孩子失意而死,小稻很快来接替她成了中砂的妻子。中砂有了温暖的家却心不在此而属意流浪,青地妻子的妹妹在医院中告诉青地,说病中曾见姐姐与中砂在面前有亲热举动。中砂离家流浪,埋在樱花下的沙地里,只露出头,死了,不远处是一男一女两个年幼盲童的歌声。清顺复出后真正完全启用旧班底的本片,很难用语言复述,通篇是用惊人影像营造起来的一个梦境,这梦境有清顺对死亡的幻觉和敬畏,像中砂死在樱花下、埋在沙砾中,像两男一女卖唱行乞的盲艺人,情敌决斗以竹杖相互敲头将对方敲进沙滩的沙屑中,女人弹着琵琶坐着木桶被海水吞没,带着意蕴深远的迷醉情绪;有富于象征性的奇观、恐惧、情欲,以及妖艳的媚笑也复不少,但看的人很难从中理出路数来,不明其所谓,只好去看色彩、布料、置景、道具极度富有的美感和质感,那白色洋房外表、花纹壁纸为里的青地家住宅,还有在砂家青色竹席、总是有火锅热气腾腾日本式住房,极富20世纪10-20年大正时代的特色。将观众的注意力牢固吸引于杰出的形式美,这正是清顺“浪漫三部曲”的目的。

　　1945年4月，第二次世界大战接近尾声。日本方面，业已77岁高龄的铃木贯太郎（山崎努 饰）经天皇裕仁（本木雅弘 饰）的劝说，同意出任新一届的首相。在随后的组阁中，陆军大将阿南惟几（役所广司 饰）确认为陆军大臣的人选。在此期间，希特勒饮弹自尽，欧洲战场尘埃落定，日本站在了 历史的十字路口。以畑中健二（松坂桃李 饰）等少壮派军人为代表的主战派摩拳擦掌，等待和同盟国进行本土决战。政府高层方面则出于各种考虑，就是否终止战争进行激烈讨论。东京大空袭、《波茨坦公告》、长崎-广岛原爆。
