action

Nine years after the extraordinary encounter between Jesse and Celine in Vienna , the two meet again, this time in Paris . Jesse is on a reading tour of Europe as a writer. The two had agreed to meet in six months' time the morning after the night in Vienna. However, this did not happen because Celine could not come because of the death of her grandmother. Jesse was in Vienna, but since they had not exchanged addresses or other contact options, the two never saw each other again.

Jesse has since had great success as a writer with a novel depicting their nocturnal romance and is married. Celine is irritated, but also flattered, to suddenly find herself as the main character in a novel. Professionally, she is involved as an environmental activist and also lives in a partnership. They find their way back to their old familiarity pretty quickly, as if there hadn't been all the years between their last meeting.

At first it seems as if they both have their lives completely under control, but gradually it turns out that neither Jesse nor Celine could forget their night together and both are unhappy in their current lives. They realize they were meant to be together, and on the drive to Celine's apartment they confess their love for each other.

This time too, Jesse has to catch a plane, but he keeps postponing his departure. The last scene in Celine's apartment ends with the words: "Baby, you missed your plane." - "I know."

Reviews

David Denby said in the New Yorker that after Before Sunrise and Before Sunset another sequel was to be desired.

In the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung on February 10, 2004, Michael Althen wrote that Before Sunset was a small film about big questions. It's about what remains of love and how life plays. It is a film whose magic is as easy as a late summer day in Paris, if not even easier.

The lexicon of international films wrote that the film was "a film rich in dialogue, pleasantly relaxed and played with a sleepwalking confidence".

Epd Film said that Linklater could easilybuildon the magic of Before Sunrise and could even deepen it. Before Sunset is a film like a magical chanson.
