Café Lumière by Hou Hsiao-hsien (Japan / Taiwan)



Deliberately slow and boring, I couldn't resist feeling sleepily calm while watching this. Asano Tadanobu plays a guy who records and listens to train sounds. I like how the classical tracks were randomly placed. The extremely long takes, oh god, the extremely long takes. This borders on dangerously boring. Guess I need to watch more Yasujiro Ozu movies.

3/5 stars
