Our take
Set against the backdrop of 1930s Hollywood, Woody Allen’s 47th movie dwells on the arbitrary yet enchanting nature of chance. With a charismatic Jesse Eisenberg playing the American auteur’s youthful alter ego, Café Society nostalgically weaves together social commentary, romance, and doubt.
