Last night, I went to see Jean-Marc Vallée’s film Café de Flore and I'm still reeling. Credit: empiretheatres.com Plot synopsis: Successful, happy, high-flying DJ (Kevin Parent) with fabulous life and equally fabulous wife laments having left his (now) ex-wife for his current one. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, a single mother (Vanessa Paradis) struggles to take care of her child (Marin Gerrier) who has Down's Syndrome in a parallel story from 40 years before. Top 10 reasons to sit through Vallée’s seeming absence of logic as he jumps from one era to the other without any apparent link: Photo credit: rebelyogi.com 10. You are a woman praying for non-linear deconstruction because your own life has become too linear (morning: car/transit, work /groceries, cook/clean, fall asleep exhausted/sex, who has time?). This film's curvy path will carry you away by the sheer power of its emotions. Or, you are this woman's partner - see warning below. Warning: This film may provoke the urge to indulge in crazy, passionate sex (if you have children, you may want to make arrangements with sitter/in-laws) . . .
