the film is alive with delicacy and feeling"
"profound and moving reflections on life's fundamentals. It's a film about, yes, love; but also betrayal, loss, missed opportunities, memory, the brutality of time's passage, loneliness—the list goes on".

Before Sunrise, Prince Charles Cinema, Mon 29th June 5.30pm
1995 101mins USA(15) Romance/Drama
Directed by Richard Linklater
Starring Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy, Andrea Eckert
8.1 IIMDb rating
Synopsis
A young man and woman meet on a train in Europe, and wind up spending one evening together in Vienna. Unfortunately, both know that this will probably be their only night together.
Before Sunrise is a 1995 romantic drama film directed by Richard Linklater and co-written by Linklater and Kim Krizan, and is the first installment in the Before trilogy. In the film, Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Céline (Julie Delpy) meet on a train and disembark in Vienna to spend the night toge The film explores themes and perspectives on life, love, time, death, self-discovery, and postmodern romance.
Linklater and Krizan long discussed the concept of the film and the characters.[10] He wanted to explore the "relationship side of life and discover two people who had complete anonymity and try to find out who they really were".[
Themes
Before Sunrise revolves largely around the twin themes of self-fulfillment and self-discovery through a significant other, charging the concept through the introduction of a twelve-hour time constraint in which the goals implicit to the two themes have to be realized. They are underlined by the poem "Delusion Angel", which evokes a longing for complete and unifying, possibly even redeeming, understanding between two partners in a world which is itself unknowable, and over which one can exercise no control.
An important role is played by the theme of spontaneous and uninhibited response to one's environment. It is reflected by the actions of Jesse and Céline, whose joint stream of consciousness, initiated by a previously unmeditated decision to leave the train together, allows them to temporarily detach themselves from the world, and enter a realm where only the other's company is of importance. Come morning, Jesse remarks that he and Céline have again entered "real time".
Before Sunrise premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 19, 1995, and was theatrically released in the United States by Columbia Pictures eight days later. It grossed $22.5 million and received critical acclaim for its screenplay, Linklater's direction, and acting performances. Before Sunrise appeared on many critics' lists of the greatest films of the year and has since gone onto receive a rating of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Reviews
"Thought-provoking and beautifully filmed, Before Sunrise is an intelligent, unabashedly romantic look at modern love, led by marvelously natural performances from Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy."[
"Just once, for a single day, Jesse and Céline have given life the sort of shape and charge that until now they have found only in fiction, and may never find again".
"the best romance of all time".
