Before Sunset (2004)

Sequel to 'Before Sunrise', 'Before Sunset' picks up 9 years after the events of the first film. Ethan Hawke has used that memorable night as the basis for a best selling novel. In Paris on book tour Julie Deply shows up at one of his readings (Paris's famous English language bookstore 'Shakespeare and Company'). It's the first time the two have seen each other in nearly a decade, they walk around another great European city, talk, get reacquainted, and the implication at the end is that this time the two will stay together. These are proving a real treat, unlike a conventional movie its just pleasant time spent with an endearing couple. ***
