Café Lumière (珈琲時光) is a 2003 Japanese film directed by Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-Hsien for Shochiku as homage to Yasujiro Ozu, with direct reference to the late master's Tokyo Story (1953). It premiered at a festival commemorating the centenary of Ozu's birth. Many critics hailed the film reminiscent of Ozu's works as an artistically significant step for Hou, and it was nominated for a Golden Lion at the 2004 Venice Film Festival.
