Our take on Before Sunrise

Richard Linklater's 1995 romance has two strangers meet on a train and spend one unrepeatable night walking and talking through Vienna, falling in love against the clock. Intimate, talky and quietly profound, it turns conversation into the purest cinema. If its real-time tenderness moved you, its sequels Before Sunset and Before Midnight continue the story, and dialogue-rich romances share its faith in two people simply talking.
