Before Sunrise is a 1995 romantic drama film directed by Richard Linklater and co-written by Linklater and Kim Krizan. The first installment in the Before trilogy, it follows Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Céline (Julie Delpy) as they meet on a Eurail train and disembark in Vienna to spend the night together.
It is not made explicitly clear until after the closing credits of 𝑩𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑴𝒊𝒅𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 ,but 𝑩𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑺𝒖𝒏𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒆’s ability to toe the line between fantasy and reality is inspired by a chance encounter that would forever be ingrained in Richard Linklater’s memory. In the fall of 1989 a woman by the name of Amy Lehrhaupt met Linklater in a toy shop while passing by in Philadelphia, and they ended up spending the entirety of their day in addition to the entire night with one another. According to Linklater the conversations between him and Amy mirrored the seriousness of those between Céline e and Jesse - about art, science, film, the entire gamut - and they shared at least one kiss before being due to separate the following day.
In analyzing the differences between this story and the one created on screen, 𝑩𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑺𝒖𝒏𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒆 intellectualizes this experience for audience members in a way that is believably approachable and holds on to remnants indicative of painfully wishful thinking. Jesse and Céline's initial encounter happens within the context of traveling through a foreign country with entirely provisional intentions; consequently, their openness to one another from the start needs little justification, and the rate at which they bond (given the uncertainty of their separate futures) is inherently plausible. Lehrhaupt and Linklater would go on to exchange contact-information and tried to keep in touch, but the couple was unable to overcome the challenges that come with maintaining intimacy in a long-distance relationship. Because of this, Jesse and Céline were written and conceived as characters that can hypothetically see beyond their horizons with optimism as opposed to expectations: with a commitment to the presence and the moments that are most immediately ordained.
(A not so #fanfact: In various interviews Linklater has admitted to openly lamenting the fact that he never heard back from Amy even after 𝑩𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑺𝒖𝒏𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒆 was released, and it was not until three years prior to 𝑩𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑴𝒊𝒅𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 being released that he would find out at least one reason for this. why. On May 9th, 1994 Lehrhaupt died in a motorcycle accident, and 𝑩𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑺𝒖𝒏𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒆 would start filming a few weeks later).
Linklater spent nine months alone trying to find actors that would fill the roles of Jesse and Céline . Ethan Hawke's was originally labeled as being “too young”, but would be offered his part after auditioning amongst approximately 10,000 other people. The acquisition and securing of Julie Delpy (who was considered alongside bigger names like Gwyneth Paltrow Jennifer Aniston) was due in part because of her French accent as it would give the impression that Jesse is meeting someone that is “ outer worldly” and after doing a reading with Hawke it would be evident that their chemistry was both palpable and absorbing.
Hawkes and Delphy's influence on 𝑩𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑺𝒖𝒏𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒆 Before Sunrise would go beyond their physical presence on screen: they would allegedly re-write almost the entire contents of its screenplay.
Their improvisations would change the tone of their interactions from mechanical to romantically inclined: with the flexuous nature of their relationship being captured through the enormity of nuances that define it. As separate personalities Jesse and Céline are revealed as having significant differences that make conflict inevitable - like variances in cynicism optimism making themselves intermittently explicit - with their similarities acting as an inescapable magnet between these seemingly star-crossed lovers.
Is 𝑩𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑺𝒖𝒏𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒆 self-indulgent? To some degree - arguably so.
The universality of the interests plaguing its characters is presumed without question, and this is reinforced by conversations that are rarely dominated by the triviality that sometimes dredges the uniquely human experience. Underneath the surface, however, is a constant desire for catharsis, and the elements making this possible will not be lost on individuals with a consistent and persistent drive towards sociable productivity; 𝑩𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑺𝒖𝒏𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒆 ‘s script endorses vulnerability as a liaison to growth, and secondary to this touches on the burdensome impact that time has on our ability to connect with one another in a way that is permanently engraved.
Despite its obsession with personifying the space between the strange and the ordinary as tangle sources of sustenance, 𝑩𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑺𝒖𝒏𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒆 maneuvers along without entirely compromising its purpose or flippantly alienating its audience members to the point of inundation or bitter exhaustion. On a personal note, 𝑩𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑺𝒖𝒏𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒆 is less about romance to me then it is about coping with a continuity of confusion that often defines who we are: what we perceive as motivation for growth, and how split second decisions can influence the trajectory of our entire lives. Life is not simply a matter of what we give and take away from others, but perhaps more acutely defined as an accumulation of reciprocities resembling perpendicular and paralleled idiosyncrasies.
Whether we all remain tethered to one another directly or merely associated in passing, what we do with both what (and to a further extent, who) we are handed matters: both inside the grand scheme of things and within the confines of our ever assembling and isolated peculiarities.

A fun and sweet romance that's a bit different from other fast-paced romantic flicks. We liked the fact that it was slow-paced.
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 6, 2002
Before Sunrise is a love story. But forget that. Love stories have a bad name, in part because they're predictable, and in part because humans tend to look back on love the same way that someone looks back on a night of heavy drinking: with a bit of regret, a bit of dread, and a bit of a smirk.
Before Sunrise, though, is one of the best movies ever made. I carry around with me my own list of top 10 best films of all time, and this one, along with its sequels, always vies for top honors.
There's one thing, though, that all of the films on my list of "best ever" have in common: they transcend their ostensible subject matter. You can watch Before Sunrise, as many have, and say that it's a charming love story. But you won't remember it for that reason. You'll remember it because you'll watch it and then realize that you've seen something you didn't quite understand fully. You'll have to watch it again. And when you do, you'll see details that you missed the first time; you'll hear conversations again and be mystified; you'll watch train tracks rush by in the beginning and have to pause the film because you realize that they presage something significant that the movie is about.
When you first see those train tracks rushing by, they seem to be a backdrop for the credits. And that they are. But in great films, as in great works of art, there are no gratuitous details. Those train tracks rushing by will come to represent the fleeting nature of human relationships, the urgency of seizing the moment, the speed at which life shifts direction (notice the shifting of train lanes).
After a few pastoral scenes that set the stage, the next shot is out the back of the train, showing life already lived, fading fast. All of this becomes significant as the film progresses. You don't know this, of course, on first viewing. And in many films, you're never tempted or compelled to view the film again. But with this one, you are, and when you do, you'll pick up on these details. (It might take a few viewings, a few years.)
One of the reasons that the movie always reasserts itself on my list of top films of all times is that it constantly intersperses exposition and symbolism, and it tells a story, and sends a message, through silence, without saying, or having the characters say, anything at all. The final scene is a case in point. What you see are a collection of locations largely void of people. Those locations, earlier in the film, were brought alive by the energy of the movie's two protagonists, Jessie and Celine. By showing the same locations at the end of the film without Jessie and Celine, filmmaker Richard Linklater articulates something almost ineffable. It has to do with the nature and the source of significance, the reminder that the energy of a place is dependent solely on those who provide the energy, and the sadness inherent in visiting places devoid of the people that once gave them meaning. It has to do with much more, as well, which is but one reason why the film is worth watching repeatedly--and will likely remain with you forever.
Before Sunrise, from its title to its final credits, is a work of art--and a love story, by the way. Even better, it is the first of an unparalleled trilogy of films, the latter two of which I will get to later. For those who haven't seen it, or its sequels, how lucky you are.

sich ihr Gepäck, um nach einem angenehmeren Sitzplatz zu suchen. Nach erfolgreicher neuer
Platzeinnahme wird ihre Aufmerksamkeit auf einen lesenden jungen Mann gezogen, ein freundliches
Zunicken, ein flüchtiges Anmerken über das sich um eher nichtige Dinge streitende mittelältliche Ehepaar,
ein kurzes Gespräch über den jeweiligen Lesestoff, dann flüchten die beiden jungen Menschen in den Speisewagen........
"......und woher kommst du eigentlich? " - " Ich bin Amerikaner. " - " Tatsächlich? Hab`gleich gemerkt, dass du Amerikaner bist. "
Beide scheinen sich auf Anhieb zu verstehen und während sie sich immer mehr über ihre Kindheitserinnerungen und ihre ganz persönlichen bisherigen Lebenserfahrungen austauschen, merken sie, dass dieSympathie für den jeweilig anderen mehr und mehr zunimmt, ja, es knistert merklich...................
" Das ist Wien. Du steigst hier aus, oder? " - " Ja, so ein Mist. Hätt` ich dich doch früher kennen gelernt.............".
Und beide finden, dass es zwischen ihnen so etwas wie eine Antenne gibt. Klingt das auch irgendwie zu schnell, zu einfach.........
wünschte ich es mir sogar von ganzem Herzen. " Ich heiße Jesse, eigentlich James, doch alle nennen mich nur Jesse. "

Trilogie Before Sunset, - Midnight und - Sunreise
Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on August 27, 2017
Es sind unspektakuläre Filme, aber sie haben es auch nicht nötig Effekthascherei zu betreiben. Diese Filme leben aus der Normalität des wirklichen Lebens und der Liebe in aller Sinnlichkeit, auch Traurigkeit. Die Genialität eine Zeitreise von 18 Jahren mit den selben Akteuren darzustellen ist einzigartig.
Diese Trilogie ist für das Alter 17 bis ...offen zu empfehlen, für alle, die auch die leisen Töne mögen, nicht nur dem Klischeehaften aus Hollywood etwas abgewinnen können.

LA nuit de toute une vie
Reviewed in France 🇫🇷 on July 2, 2013
Un train, en 1995, roule de Budapest vers Vienne. Jesse (Ethan Hawke), un jeune américain, croise le regard de Céline (Julie Delpy), une étudiante française venue s'asseoir non loin de lui pour fuir les nuisances sonores d'un couple qui se dispute en allemand. La conversation s'engage et se prolonge intensément au wagon restaurant. Arrivé à Vienne, Jesse propose à Céline, qui rentrait directement à Paris, de descendre avec lui pour passer dans la capitale autrichienne la soirée et la nuit - « Before Sunrise » - jusqu'au lever du jour, car il doit prendre un avion vers les Etats-Unis tôt dans la matinée. Céline accepte et le film de Richard Linklater s'attache ensuite aux pas et aux conversations des deux jeunes gens dans les rues de Vienne.
Cette histoire, le réalisateur et les deux acteurs la transforment en un véritable joyau en quête des petits riens qui suscitent l'amour, la passion, l'échange entre deux être prisonniers d'une seule nuit, mais par ailleurs totalement libres au cours de celle-ci. L'intensité et la subtilité des dialogues, la magie de la rencontre transporte le spectateur dans un monde sans autres contingences que celle des sentiments. La question est à chaque instant, pour Jesse et Céline de sublimer cette parenthèse sans pourtant ne rien faire d'extraordinaire. La question de plus en plus pesante entre eux deux est de savoir comment refermer cet aparté enchanteur ou à l'inverse comment lui donner un avenir dans cette ville pour eux sans passé ni futur.
Les longs plans séquences donnent une réalité palpable aux déambulations de Céline et Jesse et à leurs conversations qui semblent sans fin. Quelques scènes dégagent une autre magie, silencieuse cette fois : le passage dans la cabine d'écoute d'un disquaire où tout se passe dans les regards ou les plans sur les lieux vides où s'est promené le couple. La scène des faux coups de téléphones à des amis, dans un bar, est quant à elle, tout simplement. Merveilleux moment de cinéma, « Before Sunrise » resplendi du jeu authentique de ses deux acteurs principaux et se joue avec humour des clichés du coup de foudre, pour explorer des possibilités encore bien plus riche et fascinantes des relations entre un homme et une femme au départ si étranger l'un à l'autre.

Very romantic (really!)
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on October 17, 2012
I never saw this movie when it came out because I thought it was a sappy chic flick. And it is, except it was extremely well written and acted. It was almost like watching a reality show or a candid video. I appreciated the writing and cinematography, but my wife was totally swept away with the story. If you want to get your spouse in the mood, try this movie as an aphrodisiac (it worked for me).
