Before Sunrise: Film Locations

"If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt.”

In celebration of Before Sunrise's 30th anniversary, I revisited my film location pilgrimage around Vienna in the summer of 2016. It's one of my favorite movies, I have loved it since the first time I saw it 24 years ago, so following Jesse and Céline's footsteps was almost like walking on sacred ground.

(Photos were taken with a Fujifilm X100s and colorgraded in Adobe Lightroom.)

Zollamtssteg Bridge - this is the footbridge where the pair get invited to watch a play about a cow who thinks it's a dog. "I am the cow," one of actors says proudly.

Albertina Museum - on those steps is where Jesse recites WH Auden to Céline. "The years shall run like rabbits," he starts off.

And just on a nearby balcony is where they talk the night prior.

Club Roxy - this is the club where they grab wine and glasses.

Cafe Spérl - Jesse and Céline have their faux telephone conversation in the rightmost booth, in what has got to be one of the most romantic scenes in film history.

This café has been around since 1880 and is on the Austrian Register of Historic Places. It's still popular today, beloved for its traditional ambiance.

Teuchtler Schallplattenhandlung und Antiquarität - this is the record store where the pair listen to Kath Bloom's 'Come Here'. I lost track of time in Café Sperl so by the time I got here, it was unfortunately already closed.

Kleines Café - this is the café where Céline has her palm read.

Wiener Riesenrad - "Are you trying to say you want to kiss me?" Céline asks Jesse, helping the guy out. That's the giant ferris wheel they were on.

Wein Westbahnhof - behind this unique statement of support for the LGBT community is the train station where Jesse and Céline get off midway from Budapest to Paris. Unlike most of the locations used in the movie, it looks totally different now.

Friedhof Der Namenlosen - this is the Cemetery of the Nameless and although the film made it seem like they just passed by it, it's actually in the outskirts of the city.

The scene starts off here, with the pair entering from the left side of the chapel.

"I always liked the idea of all those unknown people lost in the world," says Céline in reflection, thinking of the people buried all around, identities and deaths a mystery.

There’s no better feeling than trying out a new camera on a holiday.

I sit beneath the stars, carrying the fire which burns. A tear jerks from the pain yet the burn of the burden is integrated. I allow the fire to consume me, the embers to resume the focus of our time. The fluctuation of the rhythm inside of me, nowhere to go but up. I am consumed by the passion. The creativity. The notion of movement and the dance of the flames. Let it be me that the fire embellishes in the new moments yet to come.

Autumn Persimmons

In the garden of the elderly lady who lived next door before she died, her house and big, beautiful garden was torn down and plowed under, and a new 8 floor concrete "mansion" (apartment) building replaced it. She used to put a box out front and give many away to anyone who wanted them.
