Before Sunset in Canada?

[Ryan]

Any one know when it will be coming to Canada? It opened in a few theatres on July 2 in the States... Friend of mine is really bugging me about this one.

Hi, does anyone know where this is playing in Toronto? I couldn't find any info at the contest link or official site.

Like Kenny said, wide release is July 9, and that includes Toronto. I am so looking forward to this one. I rerented Before Sunrise this weekend to get back into the story. I was about the same age as the characters when this movie first came out, so I really related to their early 20-something angst. I am really curious to see how their characters have matured.

It looks like when it hits Toronto on Friday it is only play in 3 or 4 theaters.. Unforunately none in Oakville (so Ryan, you will have to head into Toronto if you want to see if opening weekend!)..

I am really looking forward to seeing this.. even as a guy ;)

Before Sunrise was one of my favourite "romantic" movies of all time. I could totally relate to it because of my travels and meeting people that I didn't want to say "bye" to along the way!!

[Venusia]

Loved it! Loved it! Loved it fiercely! Maybe even more than LOTR! But I was surprised to see that it was not in any of the big cineplexes; it was only playing in 2 repertoire theatres here in Montreal. And I saw this morning that overall, it was only playing in 63 cinemas in North America.

A few teenagers walked out early on (it's really best to have seen Before Sunrise, in order to grasp the depth of the connection between Jesse and Celine), but the rest of the audience was just laughing and crying the whole way. It was wonderful to be in the middle of such a wave of love coming from the audience toward the movie.

A few interviews, for the obsessed:

People have probably found out the info for themselves but for anyone that cares, it's playing at the Cumberland, Silvercity North York and Canada Square :cool:

When I worked on opening day, it was doing pretty decent so it should be around for another week but who knows..

[YLSF]

I finally got a chance to see Before Sunset.. You should see the first one before you see this one... The friend I went with hadn't seen the first one, and although she liked it, I think she would have liked it even more if she had seen Before Sunrise...

It left a lasting impression on me... I could really relate to a lot of stuff in the movie.. With meeting people in my travels, with my time spend in Paris, etc,etc.

I would definitely recommend it for people that are interested in something different. The movie is pretty much ALL the two characters talking which makes it so unique.. especially since it is not at all boring..

I just watched Before Sunset, and am going to have to watch Before Sunrise now...never saw the first movie, but I think I'll need to see it to appreciate the 2nd one more

[YLSF]

This movie is coming out on DVD in early November. They are re-releasing Before Sunrise as well! Too bad the price at Chapters is so expensive! I have a chapters gift certificate so I would rather buy it from there.

Wow, Before Sunrise is being re-released too? Sweet; I wouldn't mind both movies being sold together, like the soundtrack.

Has anyone gotten the Before Sunrise/Sunset DVD set? I haven't seen it in stores, and I'm contemplating ordering it online.

If you do have it, is the 2 DVD set the Before Sunrise DVD and the Before Sunset DVD arriving in the mail together, or does the combination set have special packaging? Do the DVDs have ANY bonus features?

[Headhunter]

I think they arrive together, no special packaging, and no special features (well, trailer, basic cast bios...nothing interesting).

Based on the ones I've seen in stores, it's the old release of Before Sunrise with the new movie, and both are sealed together in plastic.

[YLSF]

I ordered it from amazon.ca using a $10 off coupon from the refer-a-friend program (for new customers). It worked out to around $22 (after adding some extra stuff to get free shipping).

DVDsoon has it back for $26 or so, as per a PM that someone sent me last night.

There is nothing special at all about it .. Hopefully for the 10 year anniversary they will do a re-release with commentary,etc... (that is next year).

It is basically just 2 DVDs wrapped in plastic like Headhunter said.

I know this thread is old and will probably get locked, but I must add that I loved both of these movies (Before Sunrise and Before Sunset). It was really well done and so engaging. It really felt like we knew these characters and we feel bad when they feel bad. When they are happy, we are happy. It felt as if we were actually there with them walking through the streets of Vienna (Before Sunrise) and Paris (Before Sunset). I didn't even know about this movie until end of last year when I was searching for "After The Sunset" I'm so glad I ended up watching these two movies. I bought the two pack from Futureshop for $27.97 and it was definately worth it. If you get the chance, you should watch these movies, but don't go in with super high hopes because you might be disappointed then.

[YLSF]

The entertainment threads aren't locked for old content. Only the Hot Deals threads I believe.... Glad you bumped it up though, because they are great movies and I hope others see them.. Some may find them boring but those that like them will really like them...

[Headhunter]

Has anyone picked up the soundtrack yet? I keep meaning to, but haven't gotten around to it.

[asim99]

loved them both myself....will wait for the third one in 9-10 years :-)

if u like dialogue-based movies with fewest props, i'll strongly recommend 'tape', also by richard linlater, with ethan hawke, uma thurman, and robert sean leanord....the whole movie is set up in just one room...and shot like a single take (though not actually a single take)...loved that too

[Headhunter]

For those that didn't know, Richard Linklater's Waking Life had a Delpy/Hawke reunion scene. This took place between the 2 movies...

[asim99]

waking life is beautiful

This was defintely one of the best films I'd seen last year.

Basically, there was no hard scripts, alot of interaction/dialog is what hawke and delpy came out with on the fly. Really shows you the chemistry they have.

The first one is good, but the sequle is much better. What I like the best is the fact that the sequel is not made to grab some quick cash. In fact, since the Before Sunrise is not that well know, most studios would not have made the sequel.

I also like the fact that the movie takes place in real time. So 2 hours of the movie takes place in 2 hour time. Really neat.

If you haven't seen it, you should. I'd recommend watching the Before Sunrise first though.

Now, must check out Waking life.

Definately agree, it was an excellent movie.

[Talamasca]

I just saw Before Sunrise for the first time a few days ago and really loved it (which is really hard to do as I think Ethan Hawke is a pretentious tool). It reminded me of my travels and experiences as well and Jesse and Celine had amazing chemistry. Can't wait to see Before Sunset.
