Rating: R
Movie Release Date: July 2, 2004
DVD Release Date: November 9, 2004
Plot 411: Jesse and Celine from Before Sunrise are reunited nine years after that fateful night.
Review: You cannot watch one movie without the other. They go hand in hand. This is why I had to watch this movie after watching Before Sunrise. I just had to know what happened next for these characters. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy reprise their roles as Jesse and Celine. The two meet again in a bookstore where Jesse is doing a book signing and interview. He's become a bestseller and this is the last day of his European book tour. The book's plot? Of course, that one fateful night nine years ago. I love how the characters instantly reconnect despite all the time and life that has separated them for so many years. You can see how they've both grown and aged, yet they are essentially the same two twentysomethings from years ago. This movie really reveals the fallout of that one night they spent together and how it effected them emotionally. It's gut-wrenchingly realistic but poetic in a slightly tragic way. Again, this movie lets the audience wonder what will happen next.
Watch It: Because these movies are like bookends and you cannot watch one without the other. It'd be a sin.
Skip It: If you haven't already seen the first movie. DO NOT watch them out of order. It's so much more meaningful as a two-part series.
