I really loved the first movie when i first saw it when it came out nearly 10 years ago. It was one of those movies that no one has ever seen or heard of, or at least seemingly. So, when I saw the poster and then the trailer for the sequel, I was excited. You don't get the chance to see sequels to movies like this very often.
So, this was one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year for me. I just saw a sneak preview of it yesterday and it works on exactly the same levels that the first one did. It is simply just these two people walking the streets of Paris (Before Sunrise was Vienna iirc) talking, talking about life, romance, people, love, relationships. The movie relies on acting and dialogue. Aside from the views of Paris, there isn't much more to it.
And I loved it. It was a wonderful movie.
And I love movies that rely on acting and dialog to make them work. I saw another Ethan Hawke movie recently, "Tape" which follows the same principles. "Death and the Maiden" was another one that I loved for the same reason. "Glengarry Glen Ross" yet another.
