I loved the pondering quality of A WAKING LIFE and the layer of surrealism that the animation added to the proceedings, but sometimes it is nice to see well drawn characters leap out of the screen during some, albeit whimisical, more realistic proceedings.
Now, for some unknown reason, I managed to miss out on BEFORE SUNRISE for the last nine years. Checked it out via Netflix before going to see the daylight followup.
Adoring fiction about chance, both of the BEFORE movies stuck with me long after viewing them… I regret I couldn’t have seen the first one way back when to ride along with the gleeful attempts at recollection, but regardless, they blew me away.
More than recommended. If you hate the Hollywood ending, you too will love both of these movies.
