Review of Café de Flore (2011) by David Ray G — 31 Mar 2012
This was a truly beautiful film, with great performances and a very original story. I think the topic this movie dealt with was a difficult one and it's almost impossible to present it in a way that isn't tacky or silly. But this movie manages just that.
The characters were excellently-developed and seemed genuine to a fault, and I really love the chemistry between them. I had liked Jean-Marc Vallée's previous film (C.R.A.Z.Y.) better, but this keeps up very...eloquently. The use of music and its soundtrack are magnificent and magical.
A feast for the eyes and ears. Loved its characters, but I think it lost me with its ending. Otherwise...a film that stays with you for quite a while after it's over.
