Valentine's Day is 2 days away. It's sad, I know. It was therefore inevitable for me to talk about Before Sunset, one of the best romantic films in recent years.
Celine and Jesse spent a memorable evening together in Vienna (Austria) 9 years ago (in Before Sunrise, 1995). 9 years later, Jesse has become a successful writer and is giving interviews in a bookstore in Paris. The subject of his book, you guessed it, the evening he spent with a stranger he has not seen again since. Celine traced him back through the newspapers and pays Jesse a visit at his book signing.
The result? For those who didn't like, it's 80 minutes of people talking endlessly and doing nothing interesting (translation: no onscreen sex ).
For others, it's an excellent film that addresses issues of lost love, destiny and the pursuit of happiness ...
It's up to you to pick sides. I have already chosen mine.
Directed by Richard Linklater. With Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. 2004
