Absolutely brilliant

Rating: Null/10 (22 January 2005)

I wholeheartedly agree with all of the postings that I have seen so far - it was a brilliant and unique performance from Delphy and Hawke and I am quite surprised that I did not hear rave reviews about this. I watched Before Sunrise when it first came out with a bunch of my woman, college friends and had actually forgotten the ending until I saw it again back-to-back with Before Sunset. That was a profound experience - these movies beautifully illustrate the power of timing, the stories we cherish in our minds and hearts for a lifetime and teaches us that every moment is precious.
I know the ending of Before Sunset does not actually tell us what happens, but what do all of you think about what happens? Do you think Celene and Jessie get together afterall? Is it hopeful or does the fade out tell us that he cherishes that moment and goes back to his life of a failed marriage? Thoughts?
