- Let's live today, anyway. Change me, change me, change me once again
A decade ago I couldn't wait to see Before Sunrise. I loved Richard Linklater's Slacker and Dazed and Confused, Ethan Hawke was the cocky yet sensitive Gen X posterboy, Julie Delpy was cute and French and the idea — boy meets girl on a train in Vienna and they spend the night walking and talking — was the perfect romance. Somehow it didn't quite live up to expectations: perhaps Jesse (Hawke) was too annoying; perhaps Céline (Delpy) was too wet; perhaps there was something not quite engaging about the dialogue. Despite this, the film floated about me ever since, pushing into my thoughts, weedling its way toward being one of my favourite films, in theory if not in fact.
