“Daydream delusion
Limousine eyelash
Oh, baby with your pretty face
Drop a tear in my wineglass
Look at those big eyes
See what you mean to me
Sweet cakes and milkshakes
I am a delusion angel
I am a fantasy parade
I want you to know what I think
Don’t want you to guess anymore
You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we’re going
Launched in life
Like branches in the river
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current
I’ll carry you. You’ll carry me
That’s how it could be
Don’t you know me?
Don’t you know me by now?”
And you know how they say we’re all each others’ demons and angels? Well, she was literally a Botticelli angel. Just telling me that everything was gonna be okay.
// Before Sunrise/Before Sunset (Richard Linklater, 1995/2004)//
Seen separately, Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise and Before Sunset are both incredibly emotional, but as a double feature, they make for one of the most devastating experiences the movies have to offer. These two masterpieces are mostly made up of conversations between two characters, and yet they are richly cinematic, capturing shared moments set in memorable locations and unfolding in almost real time. Less about love, these two films explore the pain of time, both the sacred and the ephemeral nature of moments in our lives.

We have always striven for a certain honesty, a hard-earned romance. There are movie romances, and then there are the romances we all have, maybe if we’re lucky, in our own lives. From the very beginning, that’s what I wanted. Most people don’t really kiss in the first six minutes of a movie.

Before Sunrise (1995)
I’m watching this beautiful, haunting film again. I may have seen this more than a dozen times now, and it just never ever gets old. You want any input on romance, love, distance, family, religion, death? Then watch this film, I beg you. And then see its sequel, Before Sunset. Truly the greatest love story ever created, and is now implanted in my mind and in my heart.

Before Sunrise (1995) + Before Sunset (2004) + Before Midnight (2013)
If there’s two films that I recommend to everyone over and over again, it’s Before Sunrise & Before Sunset. I can’t find a fault between the two films, and the parallels between the two, absolutely brilliant. They’re like When Harry Met Sally x An Affair To Remember x Lost in Translation x 2 Days In Paris x My Dinner with Andre x lots of other great films.
I didn’t think there would ever be a third film, I was quite happy with how Before Sunset ended, but knowing that there is a third film is very exciting and I’m a huge fan of how they waited 9 years between each one.I could easily go into detail about my love for these two films, but I won’t. Just do yourself a favour, get off your ass (well, stay on your ass) and watch these two films.
