DVD Review: Before Sunset

I'll tell you right now, I'm not going to be happy when the Oscars come around, because I know this movie will not be nominated for best screenplay. Which is a travesty considering the amazing, intense and (maybe too) dense writing that is displayed in this movie. How a movie like Lost In Translation wins best screenplay and this film not even be noticed is beyond unfair. Too bad Richard Linklater's dad isn't Copola.
As a fan of Before Sunrise, I love this smart, uncompromising sequel. There's nothing contrived in this brutally honest look at the transition from the romantic notions of relationships in your 20's, to the harsh reality of commitment in your 30's. If Thirtysomething and The Big Chill were the cultural touchstones for the Boomers, these two movies should be the guidebook for Gen-X.
at only 77min. long I can see the main deterant from people enjoying this movie is that you are basically watching one LONG conversation. But what a conversation it is...
