'Before Sunset' shares love story transpiring for a moment in time The film reunites a pair of lovers viewers first met inthel995precjuel RYAN NYBURG PULSE EDITOR The odds of making a sequel to a nine-year-old film that is hardly re firom director Richard Linklater's mind in his latest film "Before Sunset," the sequel to his 1995 "Before Sunrise." MOVIE REVIEW membered today and having it be a success are pretty slim. But success seems to be the furthest thing For those unfamiliar with the first film, it concerned a chance meeting between an American and a French grad student aboard a train in Eu rope. They fall in love over the course of 14 hours in Vienna before she has to leave on a train bound for France. It ends with them promising to meet in Vienna later that winter. "Before Sunset" finds them both meeting again in Paris further down the road. The American, Jesse (played by Ethan Hawke) is now a successful writer who is just wrapping up a Euro pean book tour. The French woman, Celine (Julie Delpy) works for an en vironmental organization. The film takes place in a shorter time frame than the first film, as Jesse and Celine spend an afternoon together before Jesse has to catch a flight back home. This is not your typical romance, or even your typical film. The entire movie consists of Jesse and Celine's conversation, with practically nothing else happening during its 80-minute running time. This might sound boring, but the intricacies of everyday conversation are something Linklater has special ized in since his earliest films. He has a way of turning the most meander ing conversations into philosophical poetry while still making it sound so real that you could have heard it Please see SUNSET, page 10 675 Lincoln St APP % 342*6585 aiggXS woTCfcK FreelRarlcSn^ asm'agaiMfa *1 «* Some see Sweei, Senile Georg!!! flsis coupon for $10.00 oft your nexs Piercingm mm ALESHA LEE 019419 Hot Body Feature and Cover Model Wednesday, August 18th Show Times 9pm, 11 pm & 1 am 2165 W. 11TH AVENUE ★ EUGENE 683-6021 ★ www.hotbody.com FAIR continued from page 7 chance to milk a cow or bottle-feed 1 month old baby calves from Bon neville Farms. In addition, the Wheeler Pavilion is devoted entirely to local Grange programs, and there are several competitions in which competitors v.e for honors like best-dressed goat. "We have about nine or ten animal departments, which are judged on quality and showmanship of the ani mals," Matsushita said. New animal acts this year include the Desperado Horse Drill Team and a horse dancing competition, which is a freestyle event in which costumed horses and riders choreograph a rou tine to music of the rider's choice. Horse dancing will take place on Sun day, Aug. 22 at 2 p.m. in the Livestock Pavilion and the drill team will per form at 3 p.m. at the same location. One of the fair's biggest draws is the nightly concerts on the Bi-Mart main stage. "One of the things that make the Lane County Fair so special is because we are able to bring some pretty outstanding names," Matsushi ta said. "Four of the five concerts sold out last year." Don Leber, the director of advertis ing for Bi-Mart, made the decision to sponsor the Lane County Fair more than fifteen years ago. As a presenting sponsor, Bi-Mart brings all of the main stage artists — as well as a vari ety of different exhibits and perform ances — to the Lane County Fair. "We used to be a daily sponsor, but now we're out there in a much bigger presence," Leber said. "It's one of the best ways to give back to the commu nity that supports us."
