Café Lumière

Directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien

With Yo Hitoto, Tadanobu Asano, Masato Hagiwara, Kimiko Yo and Nenji Kobayashi

In a distinctly contemporary Tokyo that looks backwards to the city’s disappearing past, Yoko is a writer investigating the life of a modernist composer of the 1930s. She is pregnant by a man she does not want to marry and has found a kindred spirit in a used bookstore owner who aids her research.
