Before Midnight

Before Midnight

Directed by Richard Linklater • 2013 • United States
Starring Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy

The conclusion of THE BEFORE TRILOGY finds Celine and Jesse several years into a relationship and in the midst of a sun-dappled Greek retreat with their twin daughters and a group of friends. The couple soon find their vacation upended, however, by long-simmering problems that come to a boil. Marked by the emotional depth, piercing wit, and conversational exuberance that Linklater and his actors honed over two decades of abiding with these characters, BEFORE MIDNIGHT grapples with the complexities of long-term intimacy, and asks what becomes of love when it has no recourse to its past illusions.
