Before Sunset review: An eloquent and sophisticated sequel

An eloquent and sophisticated sequel.

Nine years after their one night romance in Before Sunrise, we reconnect with Jesse, Ethan Hawke, and Celine, Julie Delpy at a book signing in Paris. Jesse has only a couple of hours before he has to board a plane and go back to his life in the US. In real time we follow them around Paris, discussing what could have been. When they parted at the end of the first film, the couple had promised to meet 6 months later. It never happened. They were forced to get on with their separate lives. Through their conversation we are intimately drawn into the relationship and their dream of romantic love. They are older and more experienced yet still searching for deeper meaning. An eloquent and sophisticated sequel.
