Cafe Society [Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD]

A young man arrives in Hollywood during the 1930s hoping to work in the film industry. There, he falls in love, and finds himself swept up in the vibrant café society that defined the spirit of the age.

Café Society is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of Lionsgate Films with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 2.00:1.

Cinematographer Vittorio Storaro is of course a legend in his field, having lensed such classics as The Bird With the Crystal Plumage, The Conformist, Last Tango in Paris, 1900 , Apocalypse Now and The Last Emperor. Storaro lights things magnificently throughout the picture, and even with some scenes graded (or lit) to a buttery yellow color, detail levels remain uniformly high. Fine details on costumes and other fabrics are virtually tactile at times, and close-ups offer precise looks at elements like facial pores and flyaway hair. Even some dimly lit scenes (including a wonderfully evocative candlelit sequence) don't really suffer much if at all in terms of deficits in shadow definition or general detail levels. Whatever the narrative shortcomings of Café Society, this is one gorgeous film to simply watch.

Audiotrack

Café Society continues the recent trend of Allen's films offering up surround tracks after a long almost insistent bout of mono soundtracks through the years. The film's DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 has decent if never really overwhelming immersion, much coming courtesy of the enjoyable jazz score. Some of the crowded party scenes create a lifelike atmosphere will both well placed ambient environmental effects as well as nicely directional dialogue (or at least crowd noises). Fidelity is fine throughout the presentation, and there are no problems of any kind to report.

Woody Is Still Winning...

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2016

Verified Purchase

I've been a fan of WA movies since....forever. Bananas, maybe? Therefore, I consider myself certainly qualified and capable of writing down my opinion of this film. Look, I know he's made better movies...better written, better directed and better acted. But, for some damn reason, a reason which completely eludes me, Café Society could be my favorite Woody Allen movie. I loved it! It has a great look, for starters...it's just a beautiful movie to look at. I don't know if he did something different this time out, I just know it pops off the screen at you. It shines, it's glows, it's crisp and it's warm, the images sharper and more vibrant. Maybe he used a different kind of film, or a different make/model of camera, or did something different with the lighting. Maybe something in post production with the editing process, or whatever. All I know is this is a gorgeous looking movie.

The writing is Woody all the way. There is no mistaking that. The dialogue is still wrought with that Jewish angst, that unmistakable back-and-forth between his carefully drawn fully realized Jewish characters. Woody writes the most believable conversations in the business. It's very rich, flavorful and real. This is how people talk. And the dialogue in Café Society is near perfection.

The casting is brilliant. I won't go through the entire cast, character-by-character, but I will say they all fitted together beautifully. I'll admit to a big apprehension regarding Kristen Stewart. I was of the opinion, prior to seeing this, that she couldn't act. I've always considered her to be an actor with no range whatsoever. As bland and one dimensional as they come. In this, however, she was very good. Somehow Woody got an honest-to-goodness performance out of her. She actually showed some emotional range here. Another honorable mention: Steve Carrel. Terrific! Let me say that, although the casting as a whole was brilliant, there was no single outstanding performance. Together, though, they were superb. The big surprise was Kristen Stewart.

So, right now, today, this is my favorite Woody Allen movie. It wasn't too corny, too "jokey", too heavy, or too neurotic. It looked absolutely beautiful. The sets were fabulous, as was wardrobe. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Woody is a master.

Very promising start and high-caliber elements, but peaks at the end of the first act

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2022

As I've said before , you have to be a Woody Allen fan to enjoy his movies. You have to flip a switch in your brain to enter his world, because it's not the real world. In the real world, people don't talk the way his characters do, which is well. Allen writes some masterful dialogue. He has a great command of the English language. I really enjoy that his characters speak so intelligently and succinctly and express themselves so well. That was certainly true of Kristin Stewart's character Veronica, and she stole the show. She was the ultimate siren that no man could resist, including this uncle and nephew. The establishing of that love triangle pulls you in right away. But, besides being beautiful, she expressed herself exquisitely, and dialogue that good is not easy on an actor because it doesn't roll off the tongue like common parlance. I was also impressed with the writing for the lead character Bobby and for Uncle Philip played by Steve Carrell. Allen created a much more interesting character for him than the guy he plays on The Office who is very one-dimensional.

So, the situation between the uncle, the nephew, and the breathtaking siren really grabs you, and it builds to quite a peak. Then, the story almost seems to start over. Pairing Jesse Eisenberg and Blake Lively seemed a bit strained, maybe because he's only 5'7" and she's 5'10" although they tried to mitigate that in the film. She does look taller than him but not 3 inches taller. Her character is also named Veronica. The second act delves into the zany characters of Bobby's family, his parents, gangster brother, and sister, and I mean Woody Allen zany.

The third act begins when Kristin Stewart's Veronica re-enters Bobby's life. But, the story never peaks again. It has no ending like the one in A Rainy Day in New York. There's no big epiphany.

The story is set in the 1930s, and WA used the great jazz standards as scoring, and beautiful renditions too. I really enjoyed the music.

So, the story has great acting, great dialogue, great music, and an intriguing plot. But, it peaks at the end of the first act. I'm not sure where it needed to go, but it needed to go somewhere.

Beautiful Opening and Goes to Nothing

I thought from the start this movie would offer the humor and enjoyment of the earlier Woody Allen Movies. It had great Cinematography and I enjoyed the enhanced saturated color of the movie was shot in, but the movie ended going nowhere. Just an exercise in endless film art that flopped. This is a movie when the credits end you will soon forget in a very short order.

There were no moments in this film where I was required to settle for him swinging and missing and bolstering my disappointment

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2016

At times Woody Allen has failed to do more than present the possibility of reaching into a time when movies could impact with clear greatness. Cafe Society does hit the mark! There were no moments in this film where I was required to settle for him swinging and missing and bolstering my disappointment with the idea that his heart was in the right place. I didn't have to tell myself that he deserved an A for effort as this film clearly deserves an A for delivering. The great tragedies of his star-crossed lovers were tempered with an appeal to being classy above all else. And the various sub-plots were well balanced to bring a very smooth weave. Allen has his very own genre, not unlike Cameron or Besson or Scorsese. I believe the reason it is not emulated by other writer-producers is due to the challenges to make good theatre in a medium that clutters itself up with the understandable titillations that the bring screen affords. SO it is no surprise that many will find this boring, slow and perhaps unexciting. But some patience and concentration will not disappoint those who want a deeper movie experience. Thanks Woody Allen for a refreshing and valuable alternative to the mundane.

Great Love Story, great scenery. Wonderful.

Reviewed in Canada on January 6, 2020

Verified Purchase

Excellent cast, with whole movie narrated by Woody Allen, Kind of a high-society type of movie with really interesting and complex characters and feelings. Steve Carell is superb as Phil Stern, a hollywood Legend wheeler- dealer agent. Jessie Eisenberg shines as Bobby Dorfman, Phol's nephew, who comes to hollywood to work for his uncle Phil. It then goes full-speed as a love story, intertwined with humorous bits featuring Ben, Bobby's brother, who is a gangster. Lovely music throughout, and the two people who were meant to end up with each other, don't quite make it. Many funny comments about religion, politics, and of course, love. This is one of his better ones as he captures the 30's era perfectly Kristen Stewart as Vonnie, is excellent throughout ( love the bow in her hair) and is the perfect love interest for both Phil and Bobbie. Very memorable and interedting, with lots of good quotes.

Enfin une remarquable cuvée !

Il est bien vrai que , revoyant actuellement tous les Allen , principalement en blu ray , j'avais le sentiment un peu triste que les films vraiment réussis et aboutis du Maître étaient devenus quand même rares depuis Match Point , déjà lointain ... ( 2005 ! )

Mais ce film prouve qu'Allen n' a rien perdu de sa suffocante maitrise , de son flair pour choisir des acteurs encore jeunes , au fort rayonnement et à la forte personnalité : ici , Eisenberg , très à l'aise et dont la palette expressive est large , et Stewart , renversante de glamour , avec son regard extraordinaire et sa voix si belle et sombre ( honte aux malheureux qui s'obstinent à regarder ces films en version française et ne semblent pas se rendre compte de ce qu'ils perdent ! ) .

Ces deux acteurs se complètent et s'équilibrent merveilleusement , donnant au film sa pleine charge de tension sexuelle ( très judicieusement , Allen , en vrai Classique , refuse de filmer des scènes d'amour " explicites " , que la quasi totalité de ses collègues tentent et loupent ! ) , de mélancolie et d'émotion , retenue mais poignante .
Le reste de la distribution est d'ailleurs excellent , aussi .

L'histoire qui est racontée est simple et elle ne revendique pas d'originalité particulière : l'histoire d'une passion amoureuse inaboutie , brisée , dans une large mesure , par les appétits sociaux et l'attrait de la " grande vie " ...

Mais le récit se déploie avec une souplesse et une limpidité remarquable .
C'est ce grand " fini " qui me semble placer Allen très haut .
Les reconstitutions d'une atmosphère d'époque sont impeccables .
La bande son comblera tout amateur de jazz " ancien " .

Le montage , qui rythme et unifie le film , est celui des Grands : quelle merveilleuse concision dans les meilleurs films d'Allen : une heure trente à peu près lui suffit , le plus souvent !
Quel contraste avec certains de nos cinéastes contemporains , à la logorrhée prétentieuse ...!

Vers la fin , beau dialogue des parents juifs autour du silence de Dieu , de la peur de la mort , Allen nous donnant ici une nouvelle variation , saisissante , de ce qui rôde depuis longtemps dans ses films : son angoisse , proprement métaphysique .

La fin est à tordre les mouchoirs avec ces plans sublimes du réveillon du Nouvel An, si gai-si triste , où les deux amoureux séparés expriment sans paroles , par leurs visages et leurs regards perdus , rêveurs , qu'ils sont passés à côté de quelque chose de capital , que les choix raisonnables n'étaient pas nécessairement les bons et qu'ils devront vivre avec ce regret .

L 'édition blu ray est la seule concevable , en 2018 : en effet , elle en met " plein les mirettes " et restitue à la perfection la plénitude et l'éclat des couleurs , dans un véritable feu d'artifice .
Pas de bonus mais on s'en fout !

Café Society est une belle surprise. Woody Allen, nous fait plonger dans la vie d'un agent hollywoodien dans les années 30. Le film est bien réalisé et il y a bien une bonne dizaine de personnages qui ont tous leur histoire et leur importance. La bande son très jazzie est la grande star du film, et on prend plaisir à l'écouter dès les premières minutes. Tout cela est très bien réalisé, la narration présente, accompagne idéalement le spectateur qui n'est jamais perdu. Tout cela étant dit, je trouve que le film aurait pu apporter un peu plus d'émotion et ne va jamais finalement au bout des intrigues qu'il présente. C'est le seul reproche que je ferai à un film, très classieux et qui vaut sans aucun doute le détour, ne serait-ce que pour sa forme quasi-parfaite. On en redemande !

Loved Cafe Society!

Reviewed in Canada on November 15, 2016

Just loved this movie - I am a big fan of Woody Allen's films, and this to me is one of his best. The Cinematography is breathtaking, and the performances first-rate. Kristen Stewart and Jesse Eisenberg have amazing chemistry together. as was also evidenced in "Adventureland" and " American Ultra". This role seems a bit of a departure for Kristen Stewart, but she carried it off beautifully - excellent actress! Jesse is the Allen "surrogate", and he is also very good. Supporting cast was wonderful, especially Jeannie Berlin as Rose. To sum up, I would recommend this movie whether you are an Allen fan or not
