A film that makes you think is hard to come along

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2005)

I recently viewed Before Sunset in March. Coming into I had not seen "Before Sunrise" (you do NOT have to see it, Before Sunset gives you the back story). I was truly amazed at how Director Richard Linklater does with words. The whole movie is crafted upon conversation, often funny, sometimes sad, but always containing insight. Actress Julie Delpy gives an amazing performance as the neurotic Celine. Ethan Hawke, too, stands his ground as regretful Jesse. The actors were terribly denied any acting awards, which is a true shame. Another nice thing about the film is the lovely scenery. Taking place in gorgeous Paris, we get to see the inner city, parks, café's, and more. The soundtrack is also worth picking up. Actress Julie Delpy serves as chanteuse to the record with 3 of her lovely songs on there, including "A Waltz For A Night" which she performs in character at the end of the film. This is one of my favorite films and I hope this review makes it one of yours as well!
