Before Sunrise
The first part of Richard Linklater’s Before… trilogy, Before Sunrise features Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy as Jesse and Celine, two young people who meet on a train to Vienna and spend the night wandering around the city, both knowing that their romance may only last until the morning.
Linklater successfully manages to capture the essence of young romance, using the almost real-time experience. He chose this method not to build suspense or urgency, but to create an intimate immersive experience, making it possible for the audience to feel as if they are walking alongside the couple, witnessing their growing attraction, and feeling the love in the air.
