Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke are so natural together on screen that BEFORE SUNRISE and BEFORE SUNSET almost feel like documentaries rather than fiction. Richard Linklater 's series continues this year with BEFORE MIDNIGHT and once again will have the world fall in love with these two actors.
But, BEFORE MIDNIGHT is no longer an ode to new-found and re-found love but rather a look...
Richard Linklater has always been a favorite of mine. From the classic high school flick DAZED AND CONFUSED to the engaging SUBURBIA, he has always found a way to tap into his characters with an honest edge. Yet it is BEFORE SUNRISE, BEFORE SUNSET and his latest, BEFORE MIDNIGHT that really manage to convey love, relationships and the simple power of connecting with somebody in a...
Back in 1995 Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy – along with writer/director Richard Linklater – created a modern day romantic classic with BEFORE SUNRISE. They continued this incredible story in 2004 with BEFORE SUNSET. Thankfully, the three have collaborated once again to explore the relationship between Celine and Jesse in the fantastic new film BEFORE MIDNIGHT. Once again, their latest...
PLOT: Almost a decade after our last rendezvous with Jesse and Celine, we find them vacationing in Greece with their daughters. They talk about their past, their future and everything in between.
REVIEW: It has been nine years since we left Jesse ( Ethan Hawke ) and Celine ( Julie Delpy ) in Celine's apartment in Paris when we catch up with the couple in BEFORE MIDNIGHT,...
I deeply love both BEFORE SUNRISE and BEFORE SUNSET. The series goes beyond your average romance flick and explores the depth of a relationship over the span of years. The third installment BEFORE MIDNIGHT takes what started out as a chance meeting on train to what happens to two people who seem to be fated to one another regardless of how fast the world is moving.
To be honest,...
What began with BEFORE SUNRISE and then BEFORE SUNSET, now continues in BEFORE MIDNIGHT, the third chapter in the lives of Jessie ( Ethan Hawke ) and Celine ( Julie Delpy ), an unlikely pair who are now struggling to keep it together in the middle portion of their lives as a married couple with kids. It's great to see the natural progression of these characters as you feel as if...
The third part of director Richard Linklater 's relationship spanning series, BEFORE MIDNIGHT, starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy as bickering romantics who cross paths and exchange dialogue that dives deep into the heartbeat of two people struggling to love and understand one another. BEFORE SUNRISE and it's sequel BEFORE SUNSET, both played on the walking-and-talking beat...
PLOT: Nine years after their reunion in BEFORE SUNSET, Jesse ( Ethan Hawke ) and Celine ( Julie Delpy ) are on vacation in Greece- with two twin daughters in tow, and Jesse's estranged son. Taking a break from the kids, the two spend their last night in Greece walking around the countryside- where they examine the evolving nature of their relationship, and how they've changed since...
Probably one of the most-anticipated indie-sequels in recent memory, BEFORE MIDNIGHT, the third chapter in director Richard Linklater 's "Before" trilogy, recently played at Sundance, receiving strong reviews and a confirmation that the magic is still there, if not more so. Starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy as a couple who have had an on/off long-distance romance since first...
There are so many missed chances in BEFORE SUNRISE and BEFORE SUNSET, whether they land in the middle or at the end of the movie. This is the beauty of Richard Linklater's films that show us the relationship between Jesse and Celine-- it's real and sometimes it takes awhile to come to any sort of conclusion.
When we last met up with the pair, Jesse is unhappily married and has a...
It boggles my mind that some movies can be made in a matter of days while others take months to complete, sometimes years. What makes my jaw drop is that just a few weeks ago, Ethan Hawke was discussing the possibility of a third movie to follow BEFORE SUNRISE and BEFORE SUNSET, the indie romances starring him and Julie Delpy and directed by Richard Linklater. Today, Deadline is...
