Cafe De Flore

Healing a broken heart isn’t easy. Sometimes it takes a lifetime…or two.

Cafe 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. What binds the two stories together is love – euphoric, obsessive, tragic, youthful, timeless love.

Critic Reviews:

• " Caf de Flore very much floored me and its enigmatic charm continued to weasel its way into my mind long after it was over. " – Glenn Dunks

• " As abstract as the film is in theory, it is brought together with the conclusiveness of finishing a puzzle with no missing pieces. " – Gabrielle Lipton

• " A moving drama about how love is refined through troubles in the lives of a devoted mother in 1969 Paris and a middle-aged man in 2011 Montreal. " – Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
