Better than the first
by Charles D. Hill (Bay Area, CA)
I absolutely enjoyed this movie. You must watch the Before Sunrise first. It's more than your typical love story. The intelligent and candid dialogue makes the movie so intriguing and realistic.

Me encanto
by I. Fontes (boston)
No lo dije en su momento, pero lo digo ahora: me encantó, me encantó, me encantó esta película.
Y más verla con la persona correcta.

Ecstatic
by Muzzlehatch (the walls of Gormenghast)
Paris, 2003. Jesse, an American writer in his early 30s, is signing books and giving a talk at Shakespeare & Company, the famed Parisian bookseller that first printed "Ulysses" in 1922. The book chronicles a one-night stand nearly a decade earlier that he just can't get out of his mind. As he is about to finish, he locks eyes for a moment on a particular face in the stacks: Celine, the woman he met nine years before on a summer night in Vienna. For anyone who has seen and loved BEFORE SUNRISE, the film chronicling that meeting, the moment of recognition in this sequel comes as an all-time great moment in cinema...five minutes in, and I knew I was in the presence of greatness.
Celine and Jesse go for a cup of coffee at a café, traversing a half-dozen windy, ancient Parisian streets, and they talk about careers and education, what has led them to this place. Interestingly enough, the dialog was largely scripted by the actors, and they both express (non-acting) interests that mirror the real lives of Hawke (a successful novelist) and Delpy (an environmental activist and musician who has recorded a couple of albums); they also play to their ages and they play characters that are reasonably successful in the outward sense, so a great aura of realism is maintained with little effort. This allows the dialog to ebb and flow, to continue easily for the 80 minute duration of this real-time walk through the streets and gardens of Paris, through life, career, love, lust, politics.
And it all may seem very boring to you, if what you expect is "drama" and "event"; if you expect your romances to be full of sex and unbelievable situations and jealousy and hysteria. BEFORE SUNSET is 80 minutes of two very intelligent, articulate people reacquainting themselves with each other, reawakening to youthful aspirations and romantic hopes that they assumed were withering. It's a paean to French ideals and American excesses, to Paris and to music and to architecture and literature, all conveyed in the expressions and words of two hopeless romantics and in the passion their director has for the noble idea, so rarely practiced, of the importance and power of each day, each hour, each minute of life.
I'm going on a bit perhaps, but I cannot think of a more "real", knowing film about love, about the lost past and the hopeful future than this minimalist tour through the eyes of a brazen Texan and a talkative Parisian. It's easy for me to fall in love with actresses, but Julie Delpy is simply unbelievable here and I've rarely felt more jealous in a movie than I did of Ethan Hawke (who I rarely like, but is as perfect here as he was in the earlier film).
There are many wonderful allusions to film history in this hour and a third but the most potent is the short cruise down the Seine near the end, which brings to mind most obviously two of the most romantic and expressionist films in French history, Vigo's L'ATALANTE (1934) and Carax' LES AMANTS DU PONT NEUF (1991). I was wondering if this film would end there, but instead the couple detours to Celine's apartment for the stunning, very appropriate finale.
Along with it's predecessor, one of the very greatest films about falling in love - an re-falling - in the history of cinema.
1/5
IT SUCKS
by Reza Ganjavi
It flat out sucks and is boring as hell. Just 80 minutes of blah blah which we just fast forwarded through.
5/5
A great film to watch with your spouse
by Michael K. Smith (Gonzales, Louisiana)
It's not often that a sequel, especially one made nearly a decade later, is every bit as satisfying as a very good original, but this one manages it. The two twenty-somethings, one American and one French, who spent an entire night wandering around Vienna in the mid-'90s, and slowly falling almost-in-love, have run into each other again in Paris. Jesse (Ethan Hawke) is now a published novelist, his book being a fictional account of that amazing night a decade before. Celine (Julia Delpy) seeks him out at a book signing and the two have a few hours to catch up with each other before Jesse has to catch a plane back to his wife and son in New York. You really have to have seen Before Sunrise to understand much of their conversation -- which they pick up almost as if they had never stopped -- but the dialogue is extremely human and therefore very affecting. Is Jesse happy with his life? He says so, at first -- but maybe not, given the subject of his novel. And why has Celine never found a permanent relationship? And did either of them keep their six-months-later appointment in Vienna? As before, the city itself -- Paris, this time -- is the third major character in the story. A lovely and romantic film.
Before Sunset Summary
Nine Years Ago, Two Strangers Met By Chance, Spent A Night Together In Vienna, & Parted Before Sunrise. Now They Cross Paths Again - In Paris - Where They Will Get The Chance We All Wish We Had.
In 1994, director Richard Linklater (
Dazed and Confused
,
Waking Life
) made
Before Sunrise
, a gorgeous poem of a movie about two strangers (played by Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy) wandering around Vienna, talking, and falling in love. Ten years later, Linklater, Hawke, and Delpy have returned with
Before Sunset
, which reunites the same characters after Hawke has written a book about that night. Delpy appears at the final book reading of his European tour; they have less than two hours before Hawke has to catch a flight to New York...and in that time, they walk around Paris, talk, and fall in love all over again. It sounds simple, perhaps dull, but it's written with such skill and care and acted with such richness that it's a miracle of filmmaking. On its own,
Before Sunset
is moving and wonderful; seen right after
Before Sunrise
, it will break your heart.
