The Before trilogy

Before

Before Sunrise (1995), Before Sunset (2004) and Before Midnight (2013), from Richard Linklater, with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. It's two people doing a lot of walking and a lot of talking.

Three films made nine years apart, each one catching up with the same couple. Not much happens, but somehow it all feels important. They walk and talk and argue about whether any of it means anything, and the city around them is a big part of it too.

Watch them in order, ideally before a trip somewhere you’d like to wander around.

Droomvlucht

Two people wandering through somewhere lovely and talking about dreams. Watch it the night before and the ride will feel like an extra scene.

Wiener Riesenrad

Watch Before Sunrise first. The couple ride this exact wheel at sunset, and you'll spend your own turn trying to spot their cabin.
