Cafe de Flore

CAFE DE FLORE (2011) - Nov. 12, 2011
Featuring a fractured narrative that spans decades and weaves together two seemingly unrelated stories, this was a memorably ambitious film from Jean-Marc Vallee, and one that I'm sure will reward repeat viewings.  Features some very stylish direction from Vallee, who does a great job bouncing back and forth between the two stories.  His use of popular music is also pretty much perfect, and there are some sequences here that are completely mesmerizing.  The film feels a tad long, but that's a minor complaint.  ***1/2
