While I was skeptical at first, and didn&#8217;t actually look at the screen while the movie was playing, I continued to listen to the dialogue. Essentially, that&#8217;s what this movie is. A dialogue between an American and Frenchwoman who meet on a train heading from Budapest to Paris.

Many praised the screenplay. I thought it was quite cliched and trite. The story? Mush. The end? Atypical but not surprising. So why did I like the movie then? I don&#8217;t really know, the whole is more than the sum of its parts, I guess. Maybe I was in a funny mood last night and this movie appealed to my particular mood. I don&#8217;t really know. I do think the movie is worth watching though.<\/p>\n<p>A sequel was made, called <span style=\"font-style:italic;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0381681\/\">Before Sunset<\/a><\/span>. My friend has laid his grubby paws on a copy of that too and I am sure I will be made to watch that one soon.
