Gibt es jemanden, den Sie nicht vergessen können und Sie fragen sich, was sie vielleicht versäumt haben? Als Jesse und Celine sich Mitte der 90er Jahre in Wien kennenlernten, verbrachten sie nur wenige Stunden zusammen - spontan und unvergesslich. Neun Jahre später funkt es erneut. Überraschend begegnen sie sich in Paris und ihnen bleibt nur ein kurzer Nachmittag, um herauszufinden, ob sie eine gemeinsame Zukunft haben. (Warner Bros. DE)

Am Anfang eine entwaffnende Dialog-Zusammenfassung von Gedanken, mit denen ich jeden Tag aufwache und einschlafe. Später eine schrecklich sympathische und funkelnde "Dialog-Romanze" mit einem Ende, das einen Applaus verdient hat. Richard Linklater, Ethan Hawk, Julie Delpy – ihr seid herrlich!

I saw it shortly after finishing Before Sunrise, and at first I was a little scared that they wouldn't be able to recreate the atmosphere. Fortunately, every sentence spoken gains meaning over time, every casual conversation takes on a different dimension, and suddenly Celine is saying, "I was fine until I read your fucking book!" and I break down into molecules just like Jesse. The second viewing elevates Richard Linklater's work to the unforgettable, and with its more mature but no less magical storytelling spirit, it manages to grab the viewer and fill them to the brim with emotions and experiences.

Even though the film is only 80 minutes long, I got pretty bored at times. Some of the dialogue was rather uninteresting. Maybe it was because I hadn't seen Before Sunrise and had nothing to draw on. On the other hand, I like how realistically it's filmed. I'm not a big fan of Julie Delpy, but she works well here. Both act naturally and handle their roles well. 3.5 stars.

I'll admit I haven't seen the first movie this one follows. But since this one only loosely follows it, it doesn't matter. I wasn't bored. I enjoyed watching them, listening to them. The whole movie I was tense about how it would end up, because sometimes the expressions the actors threw around were completely ambiguous... :-D Weaker 4*

I have the opposite experience with Linklater's film trilogy than most other viewers. I didn't watch the first part and I gave the second a chance, but I didn't find any great enchantment in it, and it was only the last part that really interested me. With the exception of the opening scene in the bookstore, Before Sunset can be considered an endless dialogue between two people, where the scenery changes only a few times in 80 minutes. I have always liked dialogue-driven films, but here I feel that Linklater is testing the limits of my patience. The conversations between the duo in search of each other in the second part are not as narratively banal as in the first, but I don't find any depth in them by any means. Overall impression: 55%.

The cleverly written dialogues are brilliantly delivered by both Ethan Hawke and his partner Julie Delpy. The film avoids sentimentality and romantic clichés, it captivated me with its simplicity and naturalness, while remaining interesting every second.

When those two look at each other, you immediately know it’s going to be beautiful. They simply click perfectly, and their meeting is beautiful. After nine years, they see each other for the first time since she didn't keep her promise and wasn't at the place they were supposed to meet after six months. But he came. After nine years, they have the opportunity to talk again and say what they want to. Both are incredibly believable; the camera lets them speak and follows them as they walk through Paris, capturing their words as if documenting the meeting of two real people who haven't seen each other for nine years. A beautiful romance. Just beautiful.

CONTAINS HINTS OF SPOILERS. This is where I first noticed that the flamboyant cuteness of Celine from the first installment can be toxic, unfortunately. All the insecurities and would-be complex thought processes from the first installment begin to culminate here, and Celine unfortunately profiles as a neurotic and indecisive girl who will be dissatisfied in any circumstance. With herself, with her life, with her lack of "true, spontaneous" love, or with anything else – sadly, you can really put anything in there. I should point out that I am a man and that women may have a different opinion on this very tricky and sensitive subject, which I fully respect. But despite my personal criticisms of her toxic character here, I still found her very likable. The interaction and chemistry in her conversations with Jesse worked almost as well as in the first one, and I was still rooting for them quite a bit. I humbly have to admit though, a little less than in the first installment. It just wasn't the huge wow it was before, but I was still thoroughly entertained and devoured every word. Bravo, Mr. Linklater.
