Show Notes

This week on Every Rom Com, we continue our discussion of the “Before” trilogy with 2004’s “Before Sunset.” We’ll talk about the making of the film and go in-depth on the careers of multi-talented creators Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. We’ll also explore some of the fundamental questions that Jesse and Celine discuss in the movie - what’s the nature of time, memory, and desire? Do people change or do we fundamentally stay the same? Is our life dominated by fate or free will, and how rare are soulmates? All this and we’ll also talk about the film’s romantic Parisian locations, as well as our own Paris travel recommendations! Join us for this deep dive into one of our most favorite films yet!
