Amazon.co.uk Review
In 1994, director Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused, Waking Life) made Before Sunrise, a gorgeous poem of a movie about two strangers (played by Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy) wandering around Vienna, talking, and falling in love. Ten years later, Linklater, Hawke, and Delpy have returned with Before Sunset, which reunites the same characters after Hawke has written a book about that night. Delpy appears at the final book reading of his European tour; they have less than two hours before Hawke has to catch a flight to New York...and in that time, they walk around Paris, talk, and fall in love all over again. It sounds simple, perhaps dull, but it's written with such skill and care and acted with such richness that it's a miracle of filmmaking. On its own, Before Sunset is moving and wonderful; seen right after Before Sunrise, it will break your heart. --Bret Fetzer

Synopsis
Nine years ago, director Richard Linklater's BEFORE SUNRISE introduced American twentysomething Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and French twentysomething Celine (Julie Delpy). The two met on a train to Vienna, and spent the night together wandering around the city, talking, and falling for each other. They parted ways, vowing to meet in Vienna in six months. Linklater's latest film, BEFORE SUNSET, picks up where the 1994 film left off. In Paris promoting a novel he has written about their one perfect night together (the two were never reunited), Jesse is dumbfounded when Celine shows up at his last bookstore interview. With just a few hours remaining before his flight back to the States, Jesse and Celine meander through Paris, returning in no time at all to their playful banter, flirtation, and intense conversations about life, love, and the state of the world. Although the sexual tension is palpable, Jesse is married--albeit unhappily--and has a young son, and Celine has a boyfriend. Are these thirtysomethings really soul mates, or ships destined to keep passing in the night?

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are not moved by this you are not human, 13 Oct 2008
By Antonio Moncayo (Zaragoza) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
I am not a fan of romantic movies and I ended up watching this by mistake.
This is a great human story of love so beatufully shot that I felt I was THERE with the Jess and Celine , the dialogue is very interesting.

One can admire Paris in the background and the best thing about the movie is the end.
I had not watched before sunrise before but it did not matter very much as the story os obvious.

This is the best sequel ( spare TESB ) I have ever watched and a simple ,understanded work of art.
10/10

5.0 out of 5 stars This made me cry!!, 28 Aug 2005
By Ms. Sally Williams "Sally" (Pembrokeshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a incredible film. The dialogue between the (only)two charecters, and how they relate to each other is entirely beleivable and entirely fabulous. The ending is appropriate, but gives the tantalising possibility of a further follow on. If I gave details of the plot it might sound crass, but this film is an absolutely must see!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nothing complicated, just pure genious!, 1 Feb 2005
Having bought 'before sunrise' last year I was very pleased, if not a little apprehensive to hear about a sequel. Ten years is a long time to wait,, and you might think the characters, and actors, will be too different and distant now. However if you were to watch the two films together you would feel everything is in preportion with the timeline of the story!
Theres nothing hi-tech, dangerous or mysterious; and theres no action packed stunts, but still I enjoyed this film more than most "big budget blockbusters" i've seen recently. This film is honest and heartwarming with superb perfomances comming from bothlead roles!
I dare anyone to watch this film without loving every second and comming out at the other end with a new found respect for movie making!
