Romantic drama starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. Young American traveller Jesse encounters French student Céline on a train between Budapest and Vienna, and persuades her to spend the day with him in the Austrian capital. But as Jesse is due to fly out the next morning, is there time for their mutual attraction to develop any further?
When American slacker Ethan Hawke meets French student Julie Delpy on a train to Vienna, the romantic sparks fly as they spend one eventful night together in director Richard Linklater's exhilarating drama. Announcing his presence as a major talent after grabbing attention with Dazed and Confused, Linklater's understated use of gorgeous Viennese backgrounds, coupled with a smart, funny and touching script, make this ultra-modern romance hip yet timeless. With engaging Hawke and free-spirited Delpy delivering confident chemistry, this contemporary brief encounter is a real winner.
