I fell asleep during this scene, right after his hand starts making its way towards her unsuspecting head, to tuck the wayward hair behind her ears. She looks up and he moves his hand away. She never catches on and tucks her hair behind her ear on her own.
And, oh god, I don’t want to start Before Sunrise again. What if it’s sad? They leave each other, somehow! This I am almost sure! Because next on my Netflix Instant is Before Sunset.
This scene is a fucking killer, man. Straight up MSNBC primetime special murders your heart. The entire time she is talking, his face follows hers. Her eyes cast downward toward her lap and he bends a bit, just a bit, to keep it in eyesight. He moves in when she moves in, moves in when she moves out. Her smooth, pale face is like a lure he’s unconsciously following.
Julie Delpy is an eternal fox, by the way.
My job is the best because I just sat and watched Before Sunrise and Before Sunset one right after another while I keyed in data. Killing two birds with one stone: doing my job AND getting my heart and ovaries punched in by these movies.
Julie Delphy is totally an eternal fox. I agree. Go watch 2 Days in Paris.

Try to get through it- it’s worth it. I like Before Sunset a lot better, & this is the couple that the characters in bed in that one scene of Waking Life are based on!

I sobbed my eyes out during the end of this movie, before sunset makes up for it though. Still. Like total movie to watch if you’re feeling miserable & you want to sink even lower.

The car scene in Before Sunset is sooooo much more heartbreaking. He tells a story that stomps on your heart and she mirrors his movement in the scene you’re describing, it’s so fucking beautiful and tragic. But you have to watch it!
