Reviews for Café Lumière

Trailer

6.7 / 10 1h 43min

Making her way through life by forming superficial relationships, Yoko keeps everyone at arm's length, whether it's her father and stepmother or Hajime, the owner of a small bookstore who could be the father of her unborn child. Yoko seems most at home when she's riding the train, speeding around the city with only her thoughts to entertain her.

A fascinating reflection on art and artists (for those who are fascinated by such things)(and trains)
