The chemistry is still there...

Rating: 9/10 (22 November 2004)

I really enjoyed seeing these two together again. I also enjoyed that the second time around reflects the actual time that has passed since their first rendezvous. Although this film is not as endearing as the original, the two still feed off each other like no time has passed at all. This film is an interesting and sometimes hard-to-swallow parallel of a generations' disappointments yet continuing romanticism. Before Sunrise, the original, was a movie that truly affected me in the same period of my life, 9yrs. past. To see the maturation of these characters, and the inevitable sadness that has grown within these two is sad yet honest. This being said, the genuine trust and goodness of the characters is not seen in many movies anymore. Good flick for a snowy winter's night wrapped in a blanket.
