Before Sunset
20th Anniversary Showing!
A sequel to “Before Sunrise,” this film starts nine years later as Jesse (Ethan Hawke) travels across Europe giving readings from a book he wrote about the night he spent in Vienna with Celine (Julie Delpy). After his reading in Paris, Celine finds him, and they spend part of the day together before Jesse has to again leave for a flight. They are both in relationships now, and Jesse has a son, but as their strong feelings for each other start to return, both confess a longing for more.
2004, 80 Minutes, USA, Directed by Richard Linklater, Rated R
-
"Romantic, real and as generous as it is vulnerable, the art of conversation has rarely been so acute, honest and revealing."
- Sean Axmaker, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER -
"That rose in the desert, a sequel that improves in every way upon its beloved predecessor and a romance that slowly builds a fire from embers thought dead."
- Ty Burr, BOSTON GLOBE -
"This is one of the most wildly romantic movies in ages."
- Kirk Honeycutt, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER -
"Because Linklater now wears his heart on his sleeve, he has made a film that in its joy, optimism and aesthetic achievement keeps faith with American cinema at its finest."
- Manohla Dargis, LOS ANGELES TIMES
