"...When love can come as a complete surprise"

Before Sunrise (1995)
Directed by Richard Linklater, rated R, 105 minutes

Before Sunrise is beautiful and wonderfully offbeat romantic film about a young American on his way to the airport who meets a French girl on a train in Europe, and they spend the day together in Vienna knowing it will probably be their only day together. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy have incredible chemistry and really seem as though they truly are in love. The film has a very simple story, but the dialogue between the two main characters is effortlessly interesting and relatable. Before Sunrise is one of the most amazing love stories ever put on film: it captures the simple beauty and passion of two people in love. You'll like it if: You like love stories, 90's cinema, Punch Drunk Love, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or Dazed and Confused.

  1. Yeah, 'offbeat romantic film' is certainly the most apt epithet for this movie. I'm sure whoever first heard Linklater's idea must have swept his hand in casual disdain, and then bit the same hand of his after watching the movie. A really wonderful, quaint and unique piece of work!!!
