About the Film

Before Sunrise is a 1995 American romantic drama directed by Richard Linklater. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy star as Jesse, a young American, and Celine, a young Frenchwoman, who meet on a train in Europe and, on impulse, spend one night walking through Vienna together, talking about life, love, death, philosophy, and everything in between before they must part the next morning. Richard Linklater's dialogue-driven approach stripped romantic cinema to its purest essence — two intelligent, articulate people discovering each other through conversation, without a plot, without obstacles, without villains, and without any guarantee that they will ever see each other again.

Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy's chemistry was so authentic that many viewers assumed the dialogue was improvised.
