List Of Films Set In Vienna
This is a list of films set in Vienna. While they have traditionally featured "opulent interiors and romantic exteriors", some New Wave film, New Wave films have subverted this image by selecting obscure locations or modern urban spaces.

Before Sunrise
''Before Sunrise'' is a 1995 romantic drama film directed by Richard Linklater and co-written by Linklater and Kim Krizan. The first installment in the ''Before'' trilogy, it follows Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Céline (Julie Delpy) as they meet on a Eurail train and disembark in Vienna to spend the night together. Inspired by personal experiences, Linklater collaborated with Krizan, who previously appeared in his films ''Slacker'' (1991) and '' Dazed and Confused'' (1993), to develop the screenplay. Casting was extensive; it took nine months for Hawke and Delpy to be cast with principal photography taking place entirely in Vienna. The plot is considered minimalistic, consisting mostly of monologues and casual conversation with extended dialogue as the characters navigate Vienna. Their contrasting ideas and perspectives on life and love are detailed, with Jesse a romantic disguised as a cynic, and Céline seemingly a romantic. ''Before Sunrise'' also explores time, death, and s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bitter Sweet (1940 Film)
''Bitter Sweet'' is a 1940 American Technicolor musical film directed by W. S. Van Dyke, based on the operetta '' Bitter Sweet'' by Noël Coward. It was nominated for two Academy Awards, one for Best Cinematography and the other for Best Art Direction by Cedric Gibbons and John S. Detlie. The film is based on Coward's stage operetta, which was a hit in 1929 in London. It was filmed twice, first in 1933 in black-and-white (in Britain, with Anna Neagle and Fernand Gravet in the leading roles). The 1940 film is much cut and rewritten, removing much of the operetta's irony. The opening and closing scenes are cut, focusing the film squarely upon the relationship between MacDonald's character, Sarah, and her music teacher, Carl Linden. The opening scene was a flash forward, in which Sarah appears as an elderly woman recalling how she fell in love. One reason for dropping this scene is that it had been appropriated for MGM's 1937 film '' Maytime''. Coward disliked the 1940 film a ...

It was made at British and Dominion's Elstree Studios and was part of a boom in operetta films during the 1930s. It tells the story of Sarah Linden's romance.
