Review of Café Lumière (2004) by Peter F — 26 Mar 2013
Although essentially conceived as a tribute to Yasujiro Ozu, it's not necessary for one to know of that Japanese director's work in order to enjoy this film. Quiet, closely observed, and patient, Cafe Lumiere is a fine meditative offering from recent Japanese cinema.
Decide for yourself if the storyline gives the right amount of payoff, though.
