Gianni V.

The whole movie seems to take place in real time. I also loved the changes in the characters attitudes and personalities. It made the movie seem real. Same great performances, dialogue and directing from the first one. I can only hope for a third and final installment.

Just see the film. Better - considerably better - than the first, "Before Sunrise." The only thing bad in this film is Ethan Hawke's hair-cut . . . Absolutely fantastic ending.
