Review of Before Sunset (2004) by Adrian B — 22 Oct 2013
Essentially a sequel released nine years after "Before Sunrise," the man (Ethan Hawke), now a bestselling author returns to Europe, this time Paris, to do a book signing. Once again, by chance, she meets the woman (Julie Delpy) again.
He is now married, with one child, and has done well as a result of his writing while she is desperate to seek a man in her life. They begin conversing once again, picking up where they left nine years before, discussing their updated lives, how they could have ran into each other again both in Vienna (where they were supposed to reunite but could not as a result of her grandmother passing) and New York City (never occurred to either of them).
Their love begins to rekindle. I thought long and hard on this movie, and I don't think it is as good as its predecessor, but it's pretty good. There is really no difference between the two movies other than that their lives have changed and it is an update on the two previous lovers, with a twist ending compared to the other.
Like the first movie, it is better than most romantic dramas.
