Cafe Society is a delightful piece of cinema that once again showcases Woody Allen's magic as a storyteller of tales that aims to please. As the credits roll, there is then a sense of whimsical longing for a piece of the Old Hollywood & Vintage New York depicted masterfully in this 2016 gem. From the stunning cinematography, the light hearted narration, the classical music that sets the mood and the mouth watering set pieces, Allen's choice of craft transports its audience & cements an enjoyable experience. The leads of Jesse Eisenberg, Steve Carrell & Kristen Stewart, adds a myriad of charm with their fantastic portrayals. And the wildly amusing & a tad inappropriate love story that entangles them, is something deeply yearned for & savored for its sweet bitterness.
Cafe Society then, is truly another magnificent effort from the master of nostalgic and pleasurable narratives. There is then no deep character studies nor thought provoking complexities here, only unassuming romantic exploits told with rich & beautiful backdrops that impresses.
