Brief re-encounter
In 1995 a young American named Jesse(Ethan Hawke) was travelling through Europe when he noticed an attractive French girl on the same train. Summoning up the courage to talk to her he invited Celine(Julie Delpy) to have lunch with him and it's clear the two have a natural connection.

I won't say too much about the plot but a lot of the dialogue is a natural development of similar themes that were discussed in the first film. For someone of a similar age to the two main characters I found myself listening intently to every word that they had to say and was mesmerised by the straightforward emotional intelligence that was on offer. To say that I connected very strongly with this film is an understatement and together these two films are amongst the best, if not the best stories of love that I have seen. It was so real and heartfelt that it felt as if someone had read my mind. Remarkable.
