Before Sunrise quells many thirsts, but also evokes questions, curiosities and pleasant memories.

As a writer I’ve been going through my creative, adult life for the last handful of years thinking everyday about the Before series. Through the trilogy Linklater does something that is not only singular but also immensely poignant. He captures a vignette of life as it was once lived, the early brush of love and how we generally allow things to slip from in between our fingers. For me, above all else, what it captures near perfectly is the feeling of “watching life pass by”.
