Quarantine Watch #313/314: Before Sunrise (1995)/Before Sunset (2004)

I had been very depressed over the week and when I turned on the TV my favorite part of BEFORE SUNRISE was on (the moment where they meet the street poet). I ended up watching the whole thing and immediately following it on the same channel BEFORE SUNSET came on so I ended up watching the entirety of that as well.

I just love both of these movies and they made me smile at a point. I know people tend to love SUNSET more than SUNRISE, but SUNRISE is my favorite. Maybe it has something to do with the romanticism of getting off the train and falling in love as opposed to the meeting again in SUNSET. That doesn’t mean I don’t love SUNSET. I was crying during the Waltz song Celine sings and the final moment of the film always slays me. These are perfect films and the two of them are probably the best romance in cinema.

Watching both of these are exactly what I needed right now.
