Patisserie Coin de rue (洋菓子店コアンドル, Yougashiten Koandoru) is a 2011 Japanese drama film directed by Yoshihiro Fukagawa.

It stars Yōsuke Eguchi, who is playing the role of a legendary patissier who suddenly quits making patisserie and becomes a guidebook writer.

[1] Tomura was once widely lauded as a legendary patissier, but suddenly and inexplicably left the world of sweets some eight years before the setting of the film and repeatedly declined invitations to show off his skills at a renowned pastry shop in Tokyo where he is a regular.

She looked for a pastry shop named "Patisserie Coin de Rue" because she heard that her boyfriend works there.

He blames himself for the accident because he was supposed to pick his daughter up from her nursery that day, but he forgot because he was busy preparing pastries for a feast.

As she could not make pastries for three months, she decided to close down the Patisserie Coin de Rue and have to pay a penalty for not honouring her contract.

...Fukagawa, who not long ago was making smartly observed, has since settled into a more commercial groove, while losing whatever was distinctive about his directorial personality.
