A lovely film, after a very long time. No idea why I missed it, seems it was made in 1995.
A young man meets a young woman, on a train in Europe. He urges her to get off in Vienna, before her destination. She agrees. They spend a night roaming the streets of Vienna, and talking with each other about their lives, views about life, and such. That is the plot. They part, confused about whether to meet, and whether they are in love.
I loved the movie, and wouldn't mind watching it again sometime. It is simple, uncomplicated by too many characters except when referred to by these two. There are some cultural references to the French and American stereotypes. He is American, and she is French.
The dialogue, the script, the cinematography, and the music, all are top-class, and hold your attention. There is also an old-world romantic feel, and a longing that the two actors portray, that you start wishing them well. Great feel-good stuff, and I am going to watch the sequel soon. There is one.

This is a minor classic.
Please check out the second part also, Before Sunset.
some of the parts were plagiarized by the disaster "Ishk in Paris".
I saw London, New York, Paris, some months ago, and it had a bit of similarity with this plot.
I am not surprised it is a minor classic. I somehow never heard of it all these years. My MIS needs improvement.
