About this product

Product Information

Two stories of love and responsibility separated by four decades have a common link in this drama from writer and director Jean-Marc Vallee. In 2011, Antoine (Kevin Parent) has a life most people would envy -- he's a successful club DJ living in Montreal with an international following, he has a beautiful girlfriend Rose (Evelyne Brochu), and is raising two healthy daughters. However, Rose is not Antoine's first love, and he's still infatuated with his ex-wife Carole (Helene Florent), the mother of his children. Carole hopes he'll someday return to her, though despite his feelings there's little evidence to suggest he will. In 1969, Jacqueline (Vanessa Paradis) is a single mother who is raising a seven-year-old son Laurent (Marin Gerrier). Laurent was born with Down's Syndrome, and is not expected to live past 25; Jacqueline is determined to do whatever she can for her boy during the time he has, but as the stress of these demands take their toll, we learn that she and Carole share a special connection. Named for a song beloved by both Antoine and Laurent, CafΘ de flore was an official selection at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.

  • Café de Flore

    Café de Flore Emotional film. Don't check it out on the internet, don't spoil it for yourself. Quite confusing all the way through as there appeared to be two unrelated stories going on. And the ending seemed quite muddled, until I started to realise the enormity of the plot, and it began to dawn on me what happened. I had no idea what the film was about when I started watching, and the idea of a story about a mum and her disabled son didn't look appealing, but their acting was riveting and I was soon drawn in even though the story didn't look as if it was going anywhere. The subtitles were a bit rapid for me, I had to keep winding back, but the main actress, Vanessa Paradis, is superb in holding the story together. Café de Flore is the signature theme tune, and there are two versions of it in the film, adding to the intrigue. Lovely tunes, both. Not your average romance, and yes, I had to reach for the Kleenex.
