BEFORE SUNSET
Nine years after his fateful encounter with Céline (Julie Delpy), Jesse (Ethan Hawke) is now a celebrated author on the Parisian leg of the tour for his new novel, inspired by that earlier experience. When Céline stops by the bookshop where Jesse is signing books, the two reconnect and rekindle their romance as they walk along the roads and alleys of Paris, discussing everything from unhappy marriages and the challenges of parenthood to the fleeting nature of love — and what their lives would be like had they reconnected as they promised each other they would at the end of BEFORE SUNRISE. Unspooling in real time via gorgeous long takes, this acclaimed sequel from Richard Linklater, co-written with stars Delpy and Hawke, is a soulful film that portrays a matured perspective on love that reflects not only the growth of its characters but that of its creators.
