Before Sunrise (1995)
Directed and
co-written by Richard Linklater this film stars Ethan Hawke and Julie
Delpy. An American man and French woman meet on a train and spend the
night wandering round Vienna.
The plot of this film
is a fairly simple “getting to know you” story which is dialogue
heavy and may be a little slow or uneventful for some as like the
characters themselves the conversation meanders about. Much like
Linklater's earlier Slacker (1991) this is a sort of updating of the
day in the life of a city film that works pretty well. There are good
performances from the two lead actors which the film really relies on
but I do think this is a subtle romance film that you have to be in
the right mood to watch.
4/5
