Before Sunset
Dir. Richard Linklater (2004, IMDb #225)
There’s no beige people in this? Uh oh! Double check it, Alan (The Beige Index Intern). We might get lucky with a stray beigeground actor, like in Before Sunrise (1995)! Don’t roll your eyes at us, Alan. We need this one. We can’t stop re-watching this film every single year just for stupid woke reasons.

Wait. What’s that! A beige bird? A beige plane? No! It’s the incomparable Julie Delpy (Céline) impersonating the stylings of Nina Simone, and arguably – very arguably – bringing the slightest touch of bittersweetly beige energy to the film’s conclusion.
And Alan? Not one snarky word from you about cultural appropriation re: Julie – our #1 Adult Crush – or you’re fired.
