the plot of “Cafe Society” takes place in Hollywood in the 1930s and is about a young man (played by Jesse Eisenberg) who want to work in the growing film industry, until he falls for a woman (played by Kristen Stewart).
the relationship between men and women is thus once again the main theme of one of Woody Allen movies.
– Why are you coming back to the relationship between men and women?
– If you go through the history of literature, film and drama, from Greek and continues into English and French, this is the main theme of life; the relationship between men and women. I would say it is one of the most disturbing things in life, and it has been a constant theme for writers, filmmakers and playwrights throughout history, says Allen.
