BEFORE SUNRISE
Special Features: 30th Anniversary
Richard Linklater’s Eric Rohmer-esque romance pairs American backpacker Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and French student Céline (Julie Delpy), walking and talking their way through the night in baroquely beautiful Vienna. The first in what has become one of the most unusual yet beloved movie trilogies, BEFORE SUNRISE is an ode to young love, inspired by Linklater’s own serendipitous encounter with a paramour in Philadelphia. Hawke and Delpy are revelations, playing their respective roles with humor, charm and undeniable chemistry, as evident in a memorable scene inside a listening booth where their two characters steal loving glances at one another, sans dialogue.
