Before Midnight (The Before Trilogy)

In the third chapter of The Before Trilogy, Richard Linklater fast-forwards another nine years, joining Céline (Julie Delpy) and Jesse (Ethan Hawke) while on vacation in Southern Greece.

Now in a relationship and and raising twin daughters, the couple has matured, as has their bond and their candor. Witty, heartfelt dialogue seamlessly mixes with signature long takes to bring this couple to yet another crossroads in a twisting but passionate relationship.

Richly captured by cinematographer Christos Voudouris, the picturesque streets of Greece serve as the latest backdrop to this beautifully crafted love story, again co-written by Delpy, Hawke, and Linklater.

“If the spectacle this time is funnier and more poignant than before, that is because the stakes have shifted. BEFORE SUNRISE was a bittersweet romance about young people—Could we ever really have been that young? Are we really that old now?—with all the time in the world to savor regrets and learn from mistakes. BEFORE SUNSET was a comedy of second chances, zigzagging toward a long-deferred happy ending. BEFORE MIDNIGHT, however, is something rarer and riskier.” A.O. Scott. A New York Times Critic's Pick!
