Before Sunset Review

Time leaps from June 16,1994 to summer of 2003. In the last film we found two young and effervescent persons languid in their pace and brimming with passion who were regardless of time. Before Sunset makes us acquaint ourselves with an older and exasperated version of the duo who meet suddenly and recapitulate their past decision and evaluate their present. The circumstances they were to endure,has left their mark on their faces and their thought-process. The flowing water of Seine and the blush of the twilight hour show how Time has overpowered them and frustrated their pursuits. From Vienna,the backdrop is shifted to Paris,another culturally rich city which plays a vital role in their story as well. Jesse and Celine had moved on in their lives and the smooth verbal exchange at times pricks our curiosity too much. Whether they will get back together? We know not. But we are left in a zone of suspense,and a quite shocking one.
