He (American) and she (Parisian) meet on the train from Budapest. They get off in Vienna, walk, talk, confide in each other, and kiss. A film with a Rohmerian structure that manages to give space to the spoken word without sacrificing cinema.
Best Director Award at the 1995 Berlin Film Festival
Among the director's cult films, it maintains the illusion of improvisation and never lets the script weigh on the screen. Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy are in magical symbiosis, projected toward the future. (Simone Emiliani)
