Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart & Steve Carell

Set in the 1930s, Woody Allen’s bittersweet romance “Café Society” follows Bronx-born Bobby Dorfman (Jesse Eisenberg) to Hollywood, where he falls in love, and back to New York, where he is swept up in the vibrant world of high society nightclub life. The film is a glittering valentine to the movie stars, socialites, playboys, debutantes, politicians, and gangsters who epitomized the excitement and glamour of the age.

Seeking more out of life, Bobby flees his father’s jewellery store for Hollywood, where he works for his high-powered agent uncle Phil (Steve Carell). He soon falls for Phil’s charming assistant Vonnie (Kristen Stewart), but as she’s involved with another man, he settles for friendship. When Vonnie’s boyfriend breaks up with her, Bobby asks her to marry him and move to New York. Vonnie is tempted, but things do not go as smoothly as planned.

Poignant, and often hilarious, “Café Society,” a film with a novel’s sweep, takes us on a journey from pastel-clad dealmakers in plush Hollywood mansions, to the quarrels and tribulations of a humble Bronx family, to the rough-and-tumble violence of New York gangsters, to the sparkling surfaces and secret scandals of Manhattan high life. Co-starring Corey Stoll, Parker Posey, Blake Lively and Paul Schneider.
