Attraction is interesting. It happens very quickly and can be anywhere. It takes a lot of time to build the relationship but, it takes just a moment to have the attraction. This is a lovely moment in the film. A husband and wife are yelling at each other and Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) look at each other. "Do you know what they are arguing about?" Jesse asks. He looks her in the eyes and smiles. This is that moment. You chuckle because of such an odd and somewhat funny question. Yet you were also charmed by it. I have to say that that is a perfect moment. Now let me tell you this. That's not the only one. This is a perfect movie. Not as good as Richard Linklater's other Boyhood but this is really good. This film is about two strangers that meet on a train and out of sheer luck they hit it off and walk around Vienna till Jesse has to leave in the morning. They walk around the beautifully shot city and they see the sites that there is to see. The nice little night clubs and the dancers and bums in the streets. It's all just nice. Plus with all this stuff all these extra characters and the character of the places you get the sense that instead of being told who these people are and why they are in love that you are being shown. The way they react when they see certain people show their character not just the fact of being told who they are. Sure this is still seen everywhere but it still is really noticeable here. Oh and the city. The place has a character of it's own. I mentioned that there are quite a few supporting characters that pop up. These people give the city character it's all great. Also the buildings in the night are shot so beautifully. The street lights pop with color. It's just joyous. That's what makes this film great. The chemistry, the city and all of this it all just joyous. This is a great romance movie that needs to be seen. I give Before Sunrise a 10 out of 10.
