Cafe Lumiere

A little over two weeks back I made my first (yes really!) trip to the ICA cinema to see Cafe Lumiere. There’s not really any significant plot to speak of, but then that’s not really the point of this film – its all really about getting to feel the know the regular, everyday life of the lead character – the very cute Yoko. As someone who’s never been to the far east, let alone Japan or Tokyo, just observing the cinematography was satisfaction in itself, giving the viewer access to a slice of Tokyo life altogether different from that shown by Lost in Translation
