Soulmates? Here in Miami, a city not exactly known for its monogamous ways, we have our doubts. The idea that two people can be made for each other — complementing each others’ souls, completing each others’ beings and so on — sounds to most South Floridians like some sugary, naïve, romantic bullshit. In this town, people are more likely to “mate” with a different “soul” every weekend than to subscribe to such a dubious concept.
But writer/director Jean-Marc Vallée’s Café de Flore, opening Friday at Coral Gables Art Cinema, might just restore faith in love and destiny for even the most cynical Miamian — at least for a couple hours. And it accomplishes that feat with an ambiance so sexy, so haunting, and so achingly beautiful that even viewers who aren’t convinced of real-life soulmates will want to linger in the film’s fictional world where they do exist.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $18,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
