The cinematic magic of Richard Linklater’s 1995 romantic masterpiece, Before Sunrise , relies almost entirely on dialogue. As Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Céline (Julie Delpy) wander through the streets of Vienna, their conversation shifts from cynical musings on life to deeply personal confessions of love.

Céline slips fluidly between English and French, especially during the emotionally charged scene in the park when she discusses her grandmother’s ghost. Good subtitles will italicize the French sections and provide a smaller, second-line translation. Great subtitles will also note when Céline is deliberately switching languages to create emotional distance (e.g., speaking French to a Viennese stranger while Jesse looks on). The Criterion track does this masterfully—it even translates the German dialogue of the ferryman and the fortune teller, which some barebones releases simply label as “[speaking German].”
