Before Sunrise - 6

This Richard Linklater film is in the same vein as a good chunk of his other work (ie. Waking Life, Slacker, Tape, Dazed and Confused). What does that mean? These films involve a lot of dialogue, usually involving "pseudo-intellectual" (his word, not mine) conversations and characters who are self conscious about these conversations. This films conversation involves a man and a woman who are strangers on a train and who stop in Vienna before heading back to their homes else where. The conversation weaves its way through topics like relationships, palm readers, and true love. An interesting film with well written dialogue, not for the action/adventure crowd though. A review of this film's sequel, Before Sunset, will be coming soon.
