I remember seeing Before Sunrise for the first time around 2005. It was a movie you had to pay attention to, or you'd miss a quip here or there. It helped that the actors in the movie were closer in age to my generation. I remember picking up a DVD copy of Before Sunset in 2007 because that's the year my mother passed on. I was also beginning to date a woman who I would go on having a serious relationship with. Maybe it was because my emotions were riding so high with both events that this movie became my favorite between the two.



******Spoiler****** When Celine sang that song to Jesse at the close...wow, what an ending!



When I heard they were finally working on the third film, I was ecstatic. I also knew this would probably be the last we would see of Jesse and Celine. As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. I eventually found a DVD copy of Before Sunrise, but at this point Blu-rays were the thing. After Before Midnight was released on Blu, I wanted to wait until a trilogy of some sort was released. So I waited, and waited, and even started wondering if it would ever be released. Finally those of us fan boys and girls have our day! What a beautiful set with extras to keep you occupied for hours. As with most in demand Criterion releases, I would snap this one up as soon as you can, because it may disappear into that sunset before you realize.
