Before Sunset, is the second installment of this beautiful trilogy by Richard Lintaker, and has Ethan Hawke and Julian Delpy reprising their roles as Jesse, and Celine. Like it's predecessor, it follows the same concept of simple, yet beautiful, and is one of the most beautiful movies I've seen in quite a lot of time, along with 'Before Sunrise'.
This movie portrays the 're-meeting' of Jesse and Celine, in Paris, NINE years after the events of Before Sunset. I really liked what the director did for this series, he really shot, and released all three movies with nine year gaps, to pave way for more authenticity. And we feel Fresh after seeing the movie. In 80 minutes, we get experience divine pleasure.
As we move on to 9 years after the events of the night our protagonists spent in Vienna, both have moved on in their lives, and Jesse has become a successful writer, his book on his meeting with Celine in Vienna, and Celine, dedicated advocate for the environment. Amid all the the catching-up, adventure, and running, as again their meeting is bound by time, they both realise they still have feelings for each other, and we have a perfect end for our movie, i.e. Jesse missing his flight, to spend time with Celine, and we fade to black.
The movie provides a great platform for the third and final installment of the trilogy. And thank GOD, I started watching the trilogy after all were released. Do not have the patience to wait for 9 years for an installment.
In all, a delightful movie. Do watch. Not your typical romantic movie.
My Rating - 8.2/10
