Before Sunrise

  • This is a past program

Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive.

Part of the UCLA Film & Television Archive screening series Time: It’s of the Essence. Learn more at cinema.ucla.edu.

Before Sunrise (1995) is the first in the Before Trilogy that captures the thrill of romantic possibility while up against an encroaching departure. When Celine (Julie Delpy) and Jesse (Ethan Hawke) meet on a train to Vienna, they get off together and spend the day talking and walking the city before Jesse must leave in the morning. Together they form an intoxicating bond that feels bittersweet as time’s inexorable passage works against them.

35mm, color, 105 min. Director: Richard Linklater. Screenwriter: Richard Linklater, Kim Krizan. With: Julie Delpy, Ethan Hawke.

The UCLA Film & Television Archive is a division of UCLA Library, and presents its public programs in the Billy Wilder Theater at the Hammer, among other venues. For more information about the Archive, visit cinema.ucla.edu.
