Lara Kramer, senior manager, audience development And if the credits roll and your heart is a mess and you can't quite part with Jesse and Céline, you're in luck: You can catch their final act in Before Midnight (2013), released-you guessed it-nine years after Before Sunset.
Paris is the perfect backdrop to the film's reflection on fate and how one decision begets another (or eliminates one altogether). The dialogue is clever and poignant as you follow the pair on a walk around the city, meandering through the Marais district of the 4th arrondissement, Le Pure Café in the 11th arrondissement, and the Promenade Plantée park in the 12th arrondissement. After meeting on a train and sharing a night together in Vienna in the first film, the couple's lives intersect once again, nine years later in Paris. If you don't ship Jesse and Céline, what are you even doing with your life? Before Sunset is the second installment in Richard Linklater's dreamy trilogy following the relationship between Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Céline (Julie Deply), following 1995's Before Sunrise.
