Before Sunrise

Linklater’s remarkable Before trilogy drops in three times on the evolving lives and relationship between Celine (Julie Delpy) and Jesse (Ethan Hawke) as they meet and reconnect over the course of nearly 20 years, with each film unfolding within the specified time constraint. In the first film of the series, Before Sunrise, strangers Jesse and Celine agree to get off their train for one shared day in Vienna, where they spend the night walking through the historic city and talking about gradually more intimate affairs.
