Plot Summary
Atmospheric, fantastical, tragic and hopeful, the film chronicles the parallel fates of Jacqueline, a young mother with a disabled son in 1960s Paris, and Antoine, a recently divorced, successful DJ in present day Montreal. What binds the two stories together is love - euphoric, obsessive, tragic, youthful, timeless love.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Feels less like a movie than like a cinematic jigsaw puzzle whose agitation undermines the very continuity it wants to portray.
Fresh: You may not ultimately agree with Valee'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.
Fresh: Whatever its flaws, in the moment this is one to set the film-lover's pulse racing.
Fresh: Playful, painful, willfully strange, deeply emotional and deliberately, delightfully obscure at times, Cafe de Flore, from French-Canadian writer-director Jean-Marc Vallee (C.R.A.Z.Y.), is a puzzle-film par excellence.
Customer Reviews
Stunning!
An incredibly touching film. Magnificent acting! Moving, sad, inspiring and beautiful. Must see!
