BEFORE SUNRISE (1995)
101 MINUTES, USA/AUSTRIA/SWITZERLAND
DIRECTOR: RICHARD LINKLATER
CAST: ETHAN HAWKE, JULIE DELPY

Jesse and Céline, two 20-something travellers, meet on a train from Budapest. They decide, on a whim (but also sensing a connection), to disembark at Vienna to spend the day and evening together, wandering the city, encountering locals and discussing life in all its subtleties, absurdities and philosophies.

BEFORE SUNSET (2004)
80 MINUTES, USA/FRANCE
DIRECTOR: RICHARD LINKLATER
CAST: ETHAN HAWKE, JULIE DELPY

Then, quite unexpectedly to fans, a second film was released to show what happened to Jesse and Céline. They meet nine years later, when Jesse is in France promoting a book he wrote about the experiences in Vienna. The second part of the trilogy plays out in real time, and the writing is credited to Linklater, Hawke and Delpy.
