If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Before SunsetEasily the best installment of the Before Series; considering the runtime and the conflicts between the characters, Before Sunset swifts smoothly with the help of the actors charm and Richard's smart adaptation with some interesting inputs from weird topics.
Ethan Hawke comes across as an unattractive, total idiot in this pathetic film. Why he hasn't had his teeth fixed, I do not know. His speech is punctuated with "I mean", "Y'know" and similar interjections so popular with the lazy-speaking pretentious Hollywood set, and hardly worthy of a supposed top author. His girlfriend is an irritating, smiley-smiley waif, probably well-matched with him, frankly. Together, they are nauseating beyond belief. She is the sort of gal who begins sentences with "So". Ughhh! Definitely NOT recommended.
It's 9 years after the events of 'Before Sunrise'. American Jesse Wallace (Ethan Hawke) is in Paris on a book tour after writing about that night with Céline (Julie Delpy) in Vienna. He's coy to the reporters about that night. Céline shows up and they restart the conversation while he waits for his flight later that night. She reveals that she didn't make their planned meeting due to her grandmother's funeral. He reveals that he did return for the meeting. He's married with a son. She has a photojournalist boyfriend who is away. The conversation fluctuates between breezy and deeper material until personal truths start to be spilled.Richard Linklater has hit on something compelling by returning to the same characters years later. It's casual and improvisational-like. Hawke and Delpy still have the same chemistry but more adult. It's deeper. There is an addition to the material by being a sequel. It's more than repetition. It's a sweet return of old friends.
This is like the 3rd movie of Richard Linklater I've watched and I'm quickly falling in love with his director skills. I've stared with the heavy Waking Life and saw Everybody wants ome a few month ago and they're totally different. This one, has a mix of the thins I'm loving about Linklater, which are the philosophical and emotional ride but perfect pitched dialogues that can get you hooked to the screen. It describes these 2 characters in such a highway but you can catch the details on the way too. It's almost like a bipolar case, in which you see maniac states and the lows of the depression too. Overall, it's a romantic movie without trying too hard to be. Good performance, with innocence-independent female protagonist, good dialogues and is not long, but nearly perfect timed like a quicky climax.
