It’s part of the escape, whether it’s romantic or hard to look it. core with a pure, simple belief in true love. Now, I know you two may well end up preferring the grounded realism of later installments to the dreamy, European whimsy of the first, but Sunrise is a great, great film concerned with watching people fall in love, from the first meet cute onward. clearly thinks he'll flake out on any assigned task. is that Jesse jumped off the cliff for her, and from his POV he's committed All rights reserved (About Us). more than a few words to the twins he sired with Céline. **** JG: I agree with you regarding the unique romance that plays out between the two of them. In those scenarios, whether the other person even makes for particularly great company is beside the point. The sun rises and sets every day (demerits for obvious information), but in life’s hustle and bustle we rarely see this happen when we’re on our own, let alone with someone else. It has the hardest job of all three by being an extended continuation, and it doesn’t try to put an official stamp on this couple so much as let them breathe and show their development as people.

Before Sunrise perhaps works best when viewed through that lens, because even as someone who adores it, I’ll be the first to admit that it’s the easiest of the three films to side-eye just a little. Blake, the question I have for you is this: Is “love” enough for one of the greatest on-screen couples?
