Cafe de Flore

France

Had another look at this film; the only thing I would add to what I said three years ago is that the editing really is special. Many times there were cuts that flickered by with no explanation or context, they jumped around in time and place so it took a while to figure out who was who and what was happening in the various stories. But the several stories were so compelling the film easily held my attention.

This film assumed an intelligent, sophisticated audience - always a treat for a cinefile like me.
