Before Sunrise

The first chapter of the Before Trilogy (followed by Before Sunset and Before Midnight), Before Sunrise, co-written and directed by Richard Linklater, centers on the spontaneous romance that blossoms between Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Céline (Julie Delpy), who meet on a train in Budapest, each heading to different destinations: Vienna and Paris. A casual interest is transformed into a romantic attraction when Céline agrees to get off the train in Vienna with Jesse. Their chemistry grows stronger as they wander around the city, bonding over endless conversations. When night falls, sadness creeps in; once the sun rises, they must part ways, perhaps forever.

DIRECTOR: Richard Linklater. WRITTEN BY: Kim Krizan, Richard Linklater. CAST: Julie Delpy, Ethan Hawke. 1995. 105 min. USA. English. 35mm.
