Before Sunrise

Presented on 35mm

In Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy star as two young people who meet on a train from Budapest to Paris, and wind up spending one fateful evening together in Vienna. As the night progresses, their bond makes the prospect of separating in the morning into a difficult choice.

Revisit the entirety of Jesse and Céline’s decades spanning love story in Richard Linklater’s Before Trilogy, playing as part of Brief Encounters.

"The charm—the midsummer enchantment—never feels forced; it steals up and wins you."
Anthony Lane, The New Yorker
"Not a romcom, not a romantic drama, but just… a romance, a brief encounter on a train without heartache, a strange and wonderful moment-by-moment miracle that never seems cloying or absurd."
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

This film is part of the Brief Encounters series.
