The movie "Before Sunset" is a brilliant sequel to "Before Sunrise," where two lovers meet again after 9 years apart after missing out on meeting each other six months after their first meeting.
The movie follows the two as they retrace their past lives, their current, and resolve their issues while Ethan Hawke (Jesse) and Julie Deply (Celine) wander around Paris. Their characters are now with different people, but they still can't deny the chemistry.
Both actors are very believable, a little manic, a little pretentitous, a little show-off, much cute but all in all very very natural as two ordinary people who share really strong emotional connection and attraction to one another. It's like watching two people going on a second "first date."
As an audience you feel like you're certain that they fit together, you want them to fit together but in the same time knowing that they may not even last if they decide to be together.
The beautiful background scenery of Paris, the Seines, bluesy songs by Nina Simone completes this movie. This is one of the best romantic movies I've ever watched (maybe second to Gone with the Wind).
This is the perfect movie to rent with someone you just start dating (men: take notes!), because it'll surely create a pretty interesting discussion afterward... And perhaps something else more too!
