This of course, is the sequel to the film called Before Sunrise that is a saga of two young, lost souls who remain lost after a one-night interlude in Austria, reviewed earlier. The same two people meet ten years later, again for just a short while. The guy (American) has written a book based on his experience of that night disguised as fiction. The lady (French) happens to read it, and appears at his book reading in Paris.
What follows is a couple of hours of conversation, about their lives, the environment, and a few other things. They understand that they have possibly lost an opportunity to fall in love, but then, that could be the result of fate, at least according to her. They also discuss what is happiness, and marriage, and after an attempt at blaming each other, fall into a state of awareness of their own dissatisfaction at how things have turned out, and make peace with each other.
The concept is terrific, the acting original, and both characters are very believable. The film is endearing, and I would recommend it to anyone, lost souls included.

This was Delpy's finest hour because aside from her fantastic performance, she also co-wrote the screenplay for which she was nominated by the Academy.
The concept and consequently the movie are awesome.
The director Linklater has made some awesome comedies. Kindly check out Dazed and Confused and School of Rock.
Yes, she is charming, and the movie works because of her and Ethan Hawke. The screenplay and dialogue are difficult to write within such constraints.
Sir, the third part is also out. It is called "Before Midnight" and has garnered extremely good reviews, both from the critics and the audience.
Thanks, Dushyant, I'll watch out for it.
