Review

Sequel to the intriguing "Before Sunrise", in which Ethan
Hawke and July Delpy play cross-cultural lovers. In this
installment, they are reunited as Jesse tours Europe
promoting a book he has written on the events covered in
"Before Sunrise". Celine comes to the book-signing in
Paris. They had lost contact because he never did get her
address, and one of the suspenseful factors here is -- who
did or didn't show up for the six-month promised rendevous?
As in "Before Sunrise", most of the movie consists of talk
between two intelligent, thoughtful, passionate individuals,
who reflect on their lives, on what they look for in
relationships, on the meaning of love. If the story is a
trifle contrived-- they are both "available"-- the
discussions are so interesting you don't mind.
