Before Midnight

Description

«Their dialogues about love and life began 18 years ago: In Before Sunrise (1995), the American Jesse and the French Céline met on a train and spent a romantic day in Vienna. In Before Sunset (2004), they strolled through Paris and rediscovered their feelings for each other. Nine years later, Jesse and Céline are living together. They are spending their summer vacation in Greece with their daughters. By now, the routine of everyday life has taken its toll, and a relationship crisis is looming. Can a romantic night in a hotel save their love?» (Cinema Luna, Feb 2014) «I like to fill in the gaps on topics that are often overlooked. The older you get, the more absurd and tragic life becomes. While there is a certain melancholy in this film, there is also a wonderful mutual understanding. They still make each other laugh, and that gives reason for hope.» (Richard Linklater in: The Guardian, Jun 2013) Contributors and additional information: Director: Richard Linklater Screenplay: Richard Linklater, Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy Author: Richard Linklater, Kim Krizan Cinematography: Christos Voudouris Music: Graham Reynolds Editing: Sandra Adair Cast: Ethan Hawke (Jesse), Julie Delpy (Céline), Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick (Hank), Walter Lassally (Patrick)
