*Plot*
A cup of coffee is enough to transform your mood - at least it works for
Yoko (Yo Hitoto) in Hau Hsiao-hsien's Coffee Jikou. Yoko finds her peace
in enjoying coffee with her friend Hajime (Tadanobu Asano). With a cup of
coffee in her hands, she can retreat from her own problems and stay calm,
even for just a while, so that she will have the courage to move on to
another stage in her life.
Yoko is a freelance writer researching on the Taiwan-born Japanese singer
Jiang Ewn-ye. She knows Hajime, the owner of a shop selling second-hand
books, when doing research at his bookstore. Since then the two have spent
a good deal of quality time together in coffee shops. One day Yoko discovers
that she is pregnant and she announces to her parents, whom she has not met
for long, that she decides to become an unmarried mother. Her parents are
worried; but Hajime feels even worse for he cannot express his love for Yoko.
Meanwhile, Yoko's research on Jiang Ewn-ye has inspired her to reexamine her
relationships with her family, Hajime, the baby, and many others.
This film is a tribute to the Japanese master Ozu Yasujiro to commemorate
the 100th anniversary of his birthday. The spirit of Ozu's films, especially
Tokyo Story, can easily be felt in Coffee Jikou. Hou Hsiao-hsien admits that
he has been thinking of how Ozu would have shot a film in today's Japan.
Coffee Jikou has been selected for numerous film festivals.
