Café de Flore

Young Victoria director Vallée tackles something altogether more complex with equal flair...

Vanessa Paradis gives a marvellously tender performance as the mother of a boy with Down's Syndrome in Sixties Paris.

With the intensity of a thriller and the emotion of a tragedy, his film gives love fingernails that sink into its characters and its audience...

...a giant, well-oiled machine that hurtles us effortlessly back and forth across forty years, and then suddenly unveils theretofore hidden truths about the characters and the dual intertwined stories that occupy center stage.
