“ I like to feel his eyes on me when I look away.”
- Celine
One night only.
Jesse, a young American traveling through Europe, strikes up a conversation with Céline, a French student, on a train between Budapest and Vienna. In Vienna, he asks her to get off the train and accompany him on a tour of the city during the 14 hours he has before his flight back to the United States. Amused, perhaps charmed, Céline agrees.

Why this movie?
Before Sunrise is a film that captivates with its introspective simplicity: a conversation, strolls through the streets of Vienna, confidences exchanged in the spontaneity of the night.
Richard Linklater never forces the romanticism: the magic arises naturally from the dialogue and the presence, like “the poetry of everyday life.”
This is not a mainstream movie romance, but an intelligent and sincere look at youth, hope, and loneliness, full of finesse, made without artifice.
This movie is worth seeing for its ability to make the ordinary deeply moving, for the truthfulness of its exchanges, and for the feeling that every word counts.
