Pousse Cafe (1997)
A beautiful film.
Wow!
Upon viewing I was completely shocked how nostalgic, yet modern a film could be that was the same age that I was (Almost 26 years old!) This movie was absolutely stunning. The way it was filmed was one of a kind and unique. The movie is very honest and has fun little pinches of slight, tasteful camp. Something that I personally admire.
The movie shows that as humans we never really change! No matter the time period we find ourselves dwelling in. We all go through loss, pain and sadness. We also face a difficult crossroad where we can either choose to deny our truth or accept ourselves for who we are. It shows the viewer that no matter what happens in life we can always choose to find ourselves again. That we can reside in freedom and joy once again. Pousse Cafe gives a redemptive example to us that we are never too late to love and accept ourselves as well as the people around us. Especially the ones that we hold dearest to our hearts.
