Before Sunrise | Nerve Cinema

The inaugural instalment of The Before Trilogy follows a chance encounter between two solitary young strangers.

After they hit it off on a train bound for Vienna, Paris university student Celine (Julie Delpy) and scrappy American tourist Jesse (Ethan Hawke) impulsively decide to spend a day together before he returns to the U.S. the next morning.

As the pair roam the streets of the stately city, they discover the uncertainty and intoxication of young love — from the first awkward stirrings of attraction to the hopeful promise that Celine and Jesse make upon their inevitable parting.

Before Sunrise is a beautifully captured and exquisitely performed classic of independent cinema — a testament to the thrill of romantic possibility.
