Re: Before Sunset
Heard it was good, but wanted to check out the first one. Went to Netflix and of coarse "Very long wait"
Oh well, in 10 months i should finally be in the know

Re: Before Sunset
Well, "Before Sunrise" is one of my top ten favorite films, so I'm a little biased, but I loved "Before Sunset." It fell a little short of the dramatic impact of the first one, but it's a great romance nonetheless, a perfect bookend to the original film.
Linklater's one of the few current American directors with a real gift for making European-style character-based movies about people just talking, interacting, discovering each other and themselves, free of pretension and melodrama. He's an American version of Eric Rohmer.

Re: Before Sunset
Just saw Before Sunrise and loved it, so I'm looking forward to Before Sunset.
Hey Cheesesailor, I've got one of the Netflix copies of Before Sunrise. I'm going to watch it one more time, but should be sending it back in the next day or two, so maybe that'll help you get to see it. I was on the "very long wait" list for that movie for a while too. They must not have many copies.

Re: Before Sunset
I initially had major misgivings when I heard a sequel was being produced, as I presumed the very existence of a sequel answered some of the openendedness of "Sunrise".
Having seen "Sunset" here this last weekend, you can throw all those misgivings out the window. I agree these two aren't movies for everyone, but I'm hard pressed to think of any other films which essentially are two people talking, being so captivating. Saw "Sunrise" as an idealistic 19 y/o in early 1995, and now as a marginally more realistic 28 y/o, I feel the characters have grown with me. And they're beautifully shot too, a real antidote to the quick grab instant action that is so prevalent today.

I was amazed at how well it was written. It takes place within a few hours. The viewer gets so caught up in the conversation and story that he completely forgets that they're just for a cup of jo.
I found it amazing is def. one of the best films i've seen this year.

I saw the first 20 mins. Seemed interesting.

I've been avoiding it. I saw Chelsea's Wall because students from the Edit Center in NY worked on it and I was interested in going there for their 6-week course.
Chelsea's Wall sucked. Apparently Hawke, is that his name, was inspired by the person who directed the first one, so i figured it would suck too.
What's so good about it? Is the acting good, screenpaly, cinematography? What would you compare the film too?
