Canadian drama film, released in 2011. Directed, written, and edited by Jean-Marc Vallée,[1][2] the film garnered 13 nominations for the 2012 Genie Awards.Jean-Marc Vallée - Beautiful shots, characters with depth, intricate and intriguing plot. Two parallel stories intertwine in bizarre ways to help us question our responsibilities to those we love versus our right to live our own lives. Sigur Ros, Pink Floyd, the Cure, various versions of the song from which the film takes its title, and much more. If the film mixes and remixes music, when it comes to images it is not that the movie consciously drops in visual references to other films.
Café de Flore” is a love story about people separated by time and place but connected in profound and mysterious ways. 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, aCafé de Flore” is a love story about people separated by time and place but connected in profound and mysterious ways.

Boulevard St-Germain café, but to a musical theme running through the film that connects the characters across time although their connection is not revealed until the final act. In modern Montreal, DJ Antoine embarks on a new affair with free spirit Rose whilst reflecting on his past life with teenage sweetheart Carole with whom he raised two daughters – the tensions of the present and complications of his current situation causing him to re-visit his past.
Emotionally overwrought montage aside, Café de Flore does offer a good soundtrack, and Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon nicely complements Florent’s mental freak-outs. In fact, if there had been something more tongue-in-cheek about the whole project – something wry and self-aware, without the “twin flames” soulmate bullshit – it could have been a great movie. CAFÉ DE FLORE is a love story about people separated by time and place, but connected in profound and mysterious ways. 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.
Jean-Marc Vallée, tout a commencé avec une musique. Une mélodie entendue, puis écoutée et réécoutée, jusqu'à l'obsession.

The greatest achievement this film has to offer, besides the greatest soundtrack of the year, is the portrayal of its characters in the face of loss. They’re so fantastically fucking normal.
Vallée, with Vanessa Paradis, Kevin Parent, Hélène Florent and Evelyne Brochu. An Alliance Films release. Getragen von dem grossartigen Soundtrack kreiert der franko-kanadische Regisseur Jean-Marc Vallée nahezu impressionistische Bilder, deren Verflechtung vielmehr eine emotionale als rationale Verbindung zwischen den beiden Handlungssträngen schafft. Auch die Figuren sind wunderbar gezeichnet und perfekt besetzt. But with such a bland soundtrack and protagonist, whose crappy behaviour gets entirely excused by the vague soul-mate nonsense, the film never stood a chance.
Antoine wonders at one point about the possibility of dying in a plane crash, and the recurring pretty-pretty image of a jet-stream leading into a bright sun leads one to hope it will have some sort of augural significance.

Cafe de Flore, a human drama crafted by Quebec master Jean-Marc Vallee of C.R.A.Z.Y. and The Young Victoria fame, is obviously not mainstream fare. The two stories of the film evolve independantly which allows for a different sound aesthetic. Then, they tend to bleed in each other, but the emotion persists, the pace is accelerating, the music spins and the magic works. Montreal, the DJ Antoine (Kevin Parent) is about to turn 40.
He is successful, healthy, has two beautiful daughters and is in a loving relationship with Rose (Evelyne Brochu).
