Ethan Hawke marks 30 years of ‘Before Sunrise’ premiere with Julie Delpy

Ethan Hawke celebrated three decades of Before Sunrise success with co-star Julie Delpy.

The Dead Poets Society star shared a three-image carousel post on Instagram, as he recalled the events from that time.

"This time 30 years ago our movie Before Sunrise debuted at Sundance. Redford himself introduced it," the Training Day actor wrote in his post referring to the Sundance founder, Robert Redford.

"Great night," he added.

The post featured, Hawke, Delpy and director Richard Linklater on the movie's set and at its world premiere in Utah.

The post received a slew of comments including, Topher Grace, who wrote, "Best trilogy of all time."

The Before Sunrise have two sequels, 2004's Before Sunset and 2013's Before Midnight.

The romantic drama film follows the story of a young American boy Jesse (Hawke) and a young French woman Celine (Delpy) who meet on a train in Europe. They impulsively decide to spend the night together roaming Vienna before Jesse flew back to the United States.

In the second instalment, the characters met each other again in Paris after years, where they spend an afternoon together. Meanwhile in the third part, they already have an established relationship and have started a family together as they struggle with the realities of a long-term partnership and their own career paths.

Previously, Hawke, Delpy and Linklater considered to continue the romantic series. However, Delpy shared that the group had agreed on "not to do it" as they were not satisfied with the fourth film storyline.
