The cumulative effect is more tedious than profound. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- An intriguingly unconventional drama that revels in dreamy interludes, stream-of-consciousness montages and weighty drama - but that never lives up to its stylistic promise.

This mushy, mystical French-Canadian melodrama tries to make parallel a pair of love stories: one between preteens with Down syndrome in 1969 Paris, and the second between a Quebecois DJ and his new amour some 40 years later.

This knotty contemplation of amour fou that transcends time and place is a movie for extreme romantics.

Rating: 4/5 -- You may not ultimately agree with Valée's big spiritual pay off (it may be interpreted as a mere excuse for a middle-aged man to have an affair) but it's undeniably gripping, creative, and brash cinema. Full Review

Café de Flore very much floored me and its enigmatic charm continued to weasel its way into my mind long after it was over. Full Review

In Jean-Marc Vallée's time-shifting question mark of a movie CAFE DE FLORE, love is a force by turns organic, therapeutic, alienating and enough of a connective tissue to bind two seemingly incongruent stories.

Product Description:

Two stories of love and responsibility separated by four decades have a common link in this drama from writer and director Jean-Marc Vallee. In 2011, Antoine (Kevin Parent) has a life most people would envy -- he's a successful club DJ living in Montreal with an international following, he has a beautiful girlfriend Rose (Evelyne Brochu), and is raising two healthy daughters. However, Rose is not Antoine's first love, and he's still infatuated with his ex-wife Carole (Helene Florent), the mother of his children. Carole hopes he'll someday return to her, though despite his feelings there's little evidence to suggest he will. In 1969, Jacqueline (Vanessa Paradis) is a single mother who is raising a seven-year-old son Laurent (Marin Gerrier). Laurent was born with Down syndrome, and is not expected to live past 25; Jacqueline is determined to do whatever she can for her boy during the time he has, but as the stress of these demands take their toll, we learn that she and Carole share a special connection. Named for a song beloved by both Antoine and Laurent, CAFÉ DE FLORE was an official selection at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.
