When Jesse and Celine met ten years ago, it was a fleeting moment of connection, a relationship that lasted little more than a few hours yet changed their lives forever. Back in Paris to promote the book he has written about their time together Jesse meets with Celine once again, an opportunity to put right the decision that they made before perhaps. Before Sunset is the long awaited, indeed unexpected, sequel to Before Sunrise; to many a perceptive , thoughtful, and often witty, meditation on the nature and reason of love, to others a story that irritatingly avoids many of the expected cliches of cinematic romance.
