 Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke in a scene from the motion picture "Before Sunset." (Gannett News Service)
Starring: Ethan
Hawke, Julie Delpy. When Jesse and Celine met on a Eurail train, the connection between them was immediate and profound. The 14-hour relationship that followed, as the pair explored the spontaneous and unexpected in Vienna, ended on a train platform where they swore they'd meet again six months later. Nine years have passed since that morning. On the last stop of his book tour, at the tail end of a reading in a Paris book shop, Jesse finds Celine watching from the back of the room. She lives in Paris now, he in New York. He's flying out that evening and they utilize every moment, finding their human connection no less vital, inspiring or real than it was in nine years ago in Vienna. |

But you'll be happy to see them reunite nine years later in the sweet sequel, "Before Sunset." Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy re-team with director Richard Linklater, with whom they wrote the screenplay, and reveal that their characters never reconnected as they'd promised at the end of the first film. But here, they end up spending a couple of hours together wandering around Paris, where their banter is just as natural and their chemistry is just as alive.
Who hasn't had an instant spark with someone new and wondered long afterward,
what if? Everyone has -- and they'll find that sentiment depicted here,
with insight and delicate charm.
