On his way to Vienna, American Jesse meets Céline, a student returning to Paris. After long conversations forge a surprising connection between them, Jesse convinces Celine to get off the train with him in Vienna. Since his flight to the U.S. departs the next morning and he has no money for lodging, they wander the city together, taking in the experiences of Vienna and each other.

my brain: "what people call "love" is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed"
my heart: "LOVE IS WHEN JESSE AND CELINE ARE IN THE RECORD STORE LISTENING BOOTH AND THEY CANT STOP QUICKLY GLANCING AT EACH OTHER AND THEN SMILING AND YOU KNOW THEY SO BADLY WANT TO KISS BUT ARE TOO SHY AND FEEL THE OTHER MIGHT NOT LIKE THEM AS MUCH BUT THEY DO THEYRE BOTH ENCHANTED AND ENTRANCED EVEN THOUGH THEYVE ONLY BEEN SPEAKING FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS THERE'S SOMETHING ETHEREAL AND SURREAL ABOUT BEING TOGETHER IT IS MORE THAN CHEMISTY IT IS BEYOND SCIENCE FUCK YOU PLATO LOVE IS REAL"

dywtgsitlbsw - do you want to go see if that listening booth still works?
The best love poem ever filmed.
Sweet without being sugary.
Heartfelt without being sappy.
A big heart shaped slice of perfection.
Deciding to watch a film about a romance that originated from riding public transit is a questionable decision in the middle of a pandemic. But don’t let that stop you because this was arguably the best thing I’ve watched in quarantine. Jesse has a monologue in the third act where he talks about self-hatred and how so many people hate themselves because they’re stuck with their mannerisms all the time, “I’ve never been out bowling if I wasn’t there, ya know, making some stupid joke.”
I wouldn’t go as far to say I agree with that sentiment but I’m obsessed with how it’s making a greater point of understanding why love is so blinding. There’s that first split-second of time…
If somebody had told 19 year-old me that one day I’d watch this intimate masterpiece with my 14 year-old daughter... after having a conversation with Ethan Hawke where, just like an Ethan Hawke character in a Richard Linklater movie, he oh-so-insightfully schooled me on the importance of giving said daughter permission to make mistakes, to break hearts and have her heart broken... well, I might’ve said that sounded like something from a Richard Linklater movie.
There is some kind of magic in this world.
"i guess this is it, no?"
"yeah... um, i really..... i mean, you know..."
"yeah, i know. me too"
...oh?
My philosophy on love just did a 180?? I suddenly don't think love is a scam?? Where's my soulmate??
this would be 5 stars except i can't forgive ethan hawke's facial hair
update: i have a forgiving nature
Anyone who takes public transport regularly, has crossed paths or glanced at a certain person that you feel like you should go over and talk to but you just sit there and, for some reason, plan out your life with them and then realise you’ll never see them again once you come to a stop. Before Sunrise captures that feeling perfectly. It brings to life those dreams you have when you are in that limbo period of listening to your music and day dreaming about once in a life time experiences you could be having with them and it feels like you’ve been thinking about it for hours, but it’s only 5 been minutes.
I’ve never really seen a film as pure as this. It just felt real.
