Café Lumière

Directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien

Written by Hou Hsiao-hsien, Chu Tien-wen

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.
