Intelligent and Thought Provoking

Rating: 9/10 (3 September 2004)

As you probably already know, this film is a dialog between two people who had a one-night stand 9 years previous. I had not seen the first film but Before Sunset is probably as fine a film you will ever see that involves nothing but two people talking.
There is no drama, no action, and no special effects. These two people open up to each other unequivocally and talk about life, love, and desire. There is no resolution at the end. These people are in their early thirties and are still too young to understand everything in life but they still have optimism and ideals,along with disappointment. The dialog is intelligent and thought provoking; two thing that are conspicuously missing from movies these days. This alone is worth the price of admission.
This is not a cinematic film and you have to be in the right frame of mind to appreciate it but if you are, it is very rewarding. This is a film about what really matters in our lives. 9/10
