Plots(1)

When Jesse and Celine met on a Eurail train, the connection between them was immediate and profound. The 14-hour relationship that followed, as the pair explored the spontaneous and unexpected in Vienna, ended on a train platform where they swore they'd meet again six months later. Nine years have passed since that morning. On the last stop of his book tour, at the tail end of a reading in a Paris book shop, Jesse finds Celine watching from the back of the room. She lives in Paris now, he in New York. He's flying out that evening and they utilize every moment, finding their human connection no less vital, inspiring or real than it was in nine years ago in Vienna. In real time, these two individuals explore the inner workings of their hearts and minds and rediscover their rare yet powerful love for the unexpected, the unrehearsed, and each other.

English I'll admit I haven't seen the first movie this one follows. But since this one only loosely follows it, it doesn't matter. I wasn't bored. I enjoyed watching them, listening to them. The whole movie I was tense about how it would end up, because sometimes the expressions the actors threw around were completely ambiguous... :-D Weaker 4* ()

English The cleverly written dialogues are brilliantly delivered by both Ethan Hawke and his partner Julie Delpy. The film avoids sentimentality and romantic clichés, it captivated me with its simplicity and naturalness, while remaining interesting every second. ()

English When those two look at each other, you immediately know that this will be beautiful. Those two simply fit perfectly together and their meeting is magnificent. After nine years, they see each other for the first time, after she didn't fulfill her promise and wasn't at the place where they were supposed to meet for six months. However, he came. After nine years, they have the opportunity to talk again and to say what they want. Both of them are incredibly believable, the camera lets them speak, it walks in front of them as they walk through Paris, capturing their words as if it were capturing the meeting of two real people who haven't seen each other in nine years. A beautiful romance. Beautiful. ()

English Before Sunset starts out as a disarming conversational summary of the thoughts I wake up and fall asleep with every day. It later becomes a terribly likeable and scintillating conversational “romance” with an applause-worthy ending. Richard LinklaterEthan Hawke and Julie Delpy are simply divine! ()

English Even though the film is only 80 minutes long, I got pretty bored at times. Some of the dialogue was rather uninteresting. Maybe it was because I hadn't seen Before Sunrise and had nothing to draw on. On the other hand, I like how realistically it's filmed. I'm not a big fan of Julie Delpy, but she works well here. Both act naturally and handle their roles well. 3.5 stars. ()
