Before Sunrise Review

Before Sunrise is a timeless classic that explores the beauty of human connection through the lens of a chance encounter between two strangers.

What sets Before Sunrise apart is its ability to immerse the audience in the intimate conversations and emotions shared by the two characters as they explore the city of Vienna. The film is a profound meditation on the fleeting nature of time and the fragility of human relationships. Director Richard Linklater expertly crafts the film's narrative, providing a naturalistic depiction of the interactions between Jesse and Celine. The cinematography is stunning, capturing the beauty of Vienna and creating a sense of timelessness that enhances the film's romantic atmosphere. Before Sunrise is a masterpiece of cinema that continues to captivate audiences to this day. It is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates emotionally resonant storytelling and nuanced character development.

TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The idea for the movie came from the backgrounds of both Richard Linklater and Kim Krizan. Linklater spent a night walking around Philadelphia with Amy, a woman he randomly met. Krizan rode around Europe on trains meeting people and on one trip met a Norwegian man on the way to Paris, and ended up walking around the city all night much like Before Sunrise (1995). Krizan has never revealed whether or not they had a romance that night and they lost contact.Linklater and Amy stayed in touch for a while, until contact was lost and he never heard from her again. It was not until 2010 that Linklater found out that Amy had died in a traffic accident before the release of Before Sunrise (1995), the first film in the trilogy. Krizan has never re-connected with the Norwegian man that was her inspiration for the famous night of walking around a European city.

Richard Linklater left out subtitles but in the opening sequence, the couple on the train is actually arguing in German. The man is reading in his newspaper how 70,000 women are addicted to alcohol. The script translated the squabble as follows: "You're one of them," he says to his wife. She volleys back, saying he's the alcoholic. "I have a reason to do it. I'm married to you!" he retorts.

In 2012, Hawke told The Guardian he and Delpy performed "controlled improvs" about what Jesse could say to convince her to come with him. Delpy mentioned Celine would only get off the train for someone who was funny and smart. "We finally came up with this idea that I was a time traveler," Hawke said. "She was like, 'Okay, that I would get off the train for.'"

With the success of the trilogy, Delpy has in recent years claimed that most of the script was re-written by Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke and she has expressed frustration that they were uncredited for their work. Kim Krizan has refuted Delpy's assertion.

When Richard Linklater first considered casting Ethan Hawke, he thought that the actor was too young for the part. Linklater saw Hawke at a play in New York City and reconsidered after talking to the actor.
