Before Sunset

Presented on 35mm

A sequel to Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise, this film starts nine years later as Jesse (Ethan Hawke) travels across Europe giving readings from a book he wrote about the night he spent in Vienna with Celine (Julie Delpy). After his reading in Paris, Celine finds him, and they spend part of the day together before Jesse has to yet again leave for a flight.

Nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 77th Academy Awards.

Revisit the entirety of Jesse and Céline’s decades spanning love story in Richard Linklater’s Before Trilogy, playing as part of Brief Encounters.

"That rose in the desert, a sequel that improves in every way upon its beloved predecessor and a romance that slowly builds a fire from embers thought dead."
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
"A deeper, darker, altogether more memorable experience. It doesn't extend the characters so much as fulfill them."
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

This film is part of the Brief Encounters series.
