Dir. Hou Hsiao-hsien. 2003, 103 mins. 35mm. With Yo Hitoto, Tadanobu Asano. Hou is frequently compared to the master Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu. In Caf\u00e9 Lumi\u00e8re, commissioned for the centenary of Ozu’s birth, Hou addresses that legacy directly. He applies Ozu’s low-angle perspective to this film set in a distinctly contemporary Tokyo that looks backwards to the city’s disappearing past. At the center is Yoko (pop star Yo Hitoto), 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.<\/p>\n

Preceded by The Electric Princess Picture House (2007, 3 mins.), Hou\u2019s contribution to the 2007 anthology film To Each His Own Cinema. “Unassuming and utterly ecstatic\u2026 Caf\u00e9 Lumi\u00e8re offers glimpses of ephemeral beauty and the quotidian rendered transcendent through the play of light.” \u2014Amy Taubin, Film Comment<\/p>\n
