My faith in the belief that a movie can come out of Hollywood that is breathtaking, moving, has passion and soul and heart and can keep you engrossed from start to finish is returning.
As you can see I thoroughly loved Before Sunset , the sequel to the 1995 film Before Sunrise, again starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy.
Set nine years after the first Jesse and Celine meet again, this time in Paris, as Jesse is promoting the book he wrote which is largely about their first encounter.
They spend the next 70 minutes (it is not a long film) catching up on their lives, missed opportunities, regrets, and ponder the future.
You really need to see the first movie but they do recap a bit at the start of the second. What is evident from Before Sunrise is how much the characters have grown. They aren't simply the same people thrust into a new situation as some sequels try to get you to believe.
I'm going to consider buying these as they are films you can watch again. Highly recommended.
