Excellent film with completely engaging characters and dialogue

Rating: Null/10 (19 October 2011)

Yesterday my Film Teacher at my university showed us the first 20 minutes of a film I had never heard of before- Before Sunset. Those first 20 minutes really had me engaged. I immediately sought out to see the film.
Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy have created one of the best pairings I have ever seen in a film. I don't know if they are great actors, but their chemistry and connection on screen was completely magnificent. These were definitely great performances, and that's because it didn't feel like acting. The only other film I have seen that moved me this much was 2007's Once. It all feels natural and real, and some of the best dialogue I have ever heard in a film.
Ultimately, this is a true example of a romantic film. Heck, not sure if I can even call it that, but as far as filmmaking goes characters and dialogue doesn't get any more intriguing than this. What a wonderful, wonderful film! I wonder if the original is this good? (also to know how incredible that this is a sequel and a perfect example of how sequels can work). That ending was perfect as well.
