Travelogue to love

Rating: Null/10 (27 February 2003)

BEFORE SUNRISE (1995) ***1/2 Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy. Filmmaker Richard Linklater's winning and intelligent meet-cute/strangers-on-a-train romantic comedy set in Europe with American slacker Hawke picking up sultry French student Delpy, falling in love and disregarding the fact they only have one magical night together. Clever dialogue (talk, talk, talk) and some truly innocent comic moments make for a valentine to those who believe in the power of love. Endearingly captivating brilliance.
