Before Sunrise is the first of three films revolving around Jesse and Céline, an American man and a French woman who meet by chance on a train to Vienna and end up spending a single day together. Yet their romance starts and only grows from something as...
This is one of the best sequals to a movie ever made. It is one of the most fascinating, brutal, and visually stunning film I’d ever set my eyes upon. My eyes were glued to the colors and the cinematography. So yes, I’ve seen this film three...
