NewMexiKen watched the film Before Sunset this afternoon and recommends it highly. (There are, however, no shootings, crucifixions or car chases.)
Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy played a young couple during a brief romantic encounter in Vienna in the 1995 film Before Sunrise, a warm telling of boy-meets-girl. (I haven’t seen that film.) This is the sequel — they meet again in Paris, now in their early 30s. The film, shot as if in real time, is essentially their conversation over about 75 minutes as they walk through Paris (they also have coffee, take a boat ride, ride in a car). The dialogue is simply superb as they analyze love and life.
Five ristras on the NewMexiKen scale (five being the best).
What’d you think of the ending?
An excellent question, but one which I don’t think I can respond to without giving too much away for those that haven’t seen the film.
