Review of Before Sunset

 

This review written by Sachin.

 

I love creative & weird script and a 77 min movie !

"What if you had a second chance with the one that got away?"

It was a enthralling experience to watch a movie 'Before Sunset' - directed and produced by Richard Linklater.
When the movie ends, you end up thinking..... Is that the end of the movie? (May be waiting for one more sequel)

Can you imagine a movie ending on a dialogue as below:
Celine (slowly to Jesse): "Baby ... you are gonna miss that plane."
Jesse (slow pan in): "I know."

How simple can a movie be. It tells you that, you do not require money to make a movie :)
Just kidding ... it is one of the low cost and best movies I have ever seen.

The movie is shot in Paris, and only has two characters. The pace at which the movie unfolds is amazing.
No jazzy costumes, no heavy music, no sets, no locations ... only a dialogue between two persons.
Cafe, garden, a car and a small house ... that is it .. that is where is movie has been shot.

Refer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Before_Sunset for the plot. Read this, pretty interesting.

Memories are wonderful thing when you do not have to deal with the past!
I liked this statement very much ... The heroine of the movie says so ... Watch it to know the background of this :)

Mind well, this movie is not for the people who do not like (or probably understand) off-bit movies.
That's why I am sending this email and recommending to selected friends of mine. :-)

After watching the movie, I came to know that it was a sequel of 'Before sunrise'.

Do watch both, if you a get a chance.

Cheers

Sachin.
