“As the years have passed, both the stars and their director have matured into artists of surprising subtlety and vision, and the simple idyll of BEFORE SUNRISE now makes for a touching overture to the deeper romantic yearning and anguish to come in Befores Sunset and Midnight.”
—Vulture 

Richard Linklater’s BEFORE SUNRISE is a thinking person’s romantic movie. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy play a man and woman who meet on a train and spend an intense day together.
