What if the most meaningful romance of your life lasted only one night? Forget epic quests or grand dramas; Before Sunrise is an exquisite, minimalist experiment in connection.
There are no villains, no car chases, no manufactured plots – just the thrilling, vulnerable, and often hilarious dance of two young people discovering each other and, in the process, articulating their own hopes, fears, and philosophies about life and love.
Runtime: 101 minutes
Rated R
