About this movie

An American college student (Academy Award-nominated Ethan Hawke - "Training Day," "Snow Falling on Cedars") is 14 hours away from leaving Europe and returning to the United States. But a chance encounter with a French student (Julie Delpy - "An American Werewolf in Paris," "Europa, Europa") leads to a spontaneous and ultimately romantic excursion to Vienna where the two share their experiences about life and love before he heads back home. Set against the charm of old-style Europe, their passionate first kiss won an MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss. An intelligent and moving romance written and directed by acclaimed independent writer/director Richard Linklater ("Waking Life," "SubUrbia").

I absolutely love this movie, a truly breathtaking romance. The chemistry between Jesse and Celine is out of this world, their characters are written so well and they complement each other beautifully. By the end of the movie you feel as if you've spent the entire night getting to know them both. I also love the fact that the movie focuses on them two alone, no exes, no competitors, no in-laws etc, just an entire movie focused on that early stage of love, getting to know one another.
