Céline (Julie Delpy) and Jesse (Ethan Hawke) meet by chance on a train ride across Europe, and both decide to get off in Vienna and spend one night together, knowing it will likely be their only meeting. Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Richard Linklater’s classic romance, the first entry in a decades-spanning love story. 

“We return to these films because Jesse and Celine remind us of the early days of our love, like our memories are theirs and vice versa. We return because Linklater, Delpy, and Hawke make us want to re-experience the power of human connection, and to believe that it can triumph over time.” ~ Michael Koresky, Criterion
