His production company also made movies like The Shawshank Redemption, Before Sunrise and Michael Clayton. The film industry has lost one of its titans.

John Cusack & Minnie Driver were quite hot together (perhaps this movie was my bi awakening, unless it was Before Sunrise—entirely possible). I will forever associate Blister in the Sun with Martin & Debbie driving off...

It's a great movie, and if you haven't seen it, I can recommend. Further details here: www.visitingvienna.com/songsfilms/b... #AlphabetChallenge #WeekFforFilms #Photography
positive · AI labelView post →THE SUN AND THE SHADOW (Rangel Vulchanov, 1962). This Bulgarian film looked luminous on the cinema screen today. Playful optimism mingles with Cold War anxiety in this beautiful dreamlike tale of fleeting love. A forerunner to BEFORE SUNRISE, perhaps, gorgeously shot in black & white. #FilmSky
neutral · AI labelView post →Just rewatched Before Sunrise, a movie that is almost 30 years old It's still very good. I'm now nostalgic for my own time wandering around foreign cities, without a camera or GPS maps entering crypts before sunrise, lest I crumble to dust The leads look like babies Did I mention turning to dust

neutral · AI labelView post →Richard Linklater naver makes a dull film, Blue Moon sees him re-team with Ethan Hawke from his Before Sunrise trilogy. Shot in 15 days in Dublin, it's an acerbic portrait of Larry Hart, the lyricist whose creative partnership with Richard Rodgers ends abruptly.4/5 film-authority.com/2026/01/05/b...

neutral · AI labelView post →Imagine a fourth Before Sunrise movie, where ICE kidnaps Céline in old age. It feels like fictional villainy, too ridiculous and cruel to be real.
neutral · AI labelView post →But it’s true that for every film like Before Sunrise/Sunset/Midnight there are about 10 or 20 self-aware, wise cracking, emotionally barren irony-fests. I think in this respect Hollywood has a lot to learn from Korean & Chinese film & drama - because it’s true, they take human emotion seriously.
