Epsilon Spires, Saturday, January 24th, Doors open at 6:30pm, Performance begins at 7pm. Live music by folk legend Kath Bloom before Richard Linklater’s Romantic indie-classic! Two young people meet on a train from Budapest to Paris, and end up spending one fateful evening together in Vienna. As the night progresses, their bond makes separating in the morning into a difficult choice...
BEFORE SUNRISE (Dir. Richard Linklater. 1995, 101 mins). After they hit it off on a train bound for Vienna, the Paris university student Celine (Julie Delpy) and the scrappy American tourist Jesse (Ethan Hawke) impulsively decide to spend a day together before he returns to the U.S. the next morning. As the pair roam the streets of the stately city, Richard Linklater’s tenderly observant gaze captures the uncertainty and intoxication of young love, from the first awkward stirrings of attraction to the hopeful promise that Celine and Jesse make upon their inevitable parting.
From this unplanned encounter a romance was born that would spark an improbable, magnificent movie trilogy that has become one of the most fervently adored cinematic love stories ever told. In this first part, Hawke and Delpy establish themselves as quintessential Gen-Xers, romantic, idealistic, and intellectually searching as they try and figure themselves and each other out over the course of one day and night. BEFORE SUNRISE is a thinking person’s romantic movie and for some, among the purest expressions of the ideal romance in cinema. At the same time, the following films in the Trilogy that follows the characters, Before Sunset (2004), Before Midnight (2013), come with a measure of realism that is missing in most rom-coms.
“A great film by any objective artistic criteria . . . a film ultimately about the persistence of the romantic ideal, or more simply, movie love in the postmodern age.” -Reverse Shot
“An unexpected adventure of the heart. What’s magical about Linklater’s entrancing movie is the way he and his actors manage to convey the emotional truths that underlie all the talk as the potential lovers test each other’s opinions and commitment. Funny, poignant and perceptive, this is a brilliant gem.” – Time Out (London)
Kath Bloom is some kind of legend. She comes from a special place where country, blues and folk are made beautifully translucent and emotive. Highly regarded but a bit of a mystery. The Connecticut based singer/songwriter has a special gift - her almost supernaturally beautiful, wavering soprano is one that has to be heard, she has a clear transparent moonlight tone combined with an earthly raw quality that can silence a room.
Kath made some very very limited edition albums in the 70’s and 80’s with the amazing (and equally dreamlike) guitarist Loren Mazzacane Connors, full of songs that float and melt into the ether. Impossibly beautiful. However, music was put on the back burner as life changed and she raised a family, trained ‘problem horses’ and taught special music programs to kids. Just as she was starting to write and release CDs again, Richard Linklater decided to use her song ‘Come Here’ in his 1995 film ‘Before Sunrise’. Life altered - not much - but the public consciousness was rightfully tweaked. Slowly her old recordings and new material have been seeping back into the world. This includes a special tribute album by artists such as Josephine Foster, Bill Callahan, Devendra Banhart, Meg Baird and Scout Nibblet. Since 2017 she has been recording and performing with New Haven, CT based guitarist David Shapiro.
