Fresh off his box-office success with School of Rock, director Richard Link-later’s returned to his low-key, high-concept indie roots. Sunset picks up on his 1995 romance Before Sunrise, catching up with the characters played by Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy nine years later. The two of them wander around Paris, talk, visit a coffeeshop, talk, go for a boat ride, talk, and talk, and talk, dancing around the question of whether they’re still in love. You needn’t have seen the earlier film to appreciate what Sunset offers. If you were taken with both My Dinner with Andre and Wings of Desire, this one’s for you.
