Before Midnight
Dir: Richard
Linklater
Starring: Ethan
Hawke and Julie Delpy
Richard Linklater’s romantic opus that started back in 1995
with Before Sunrise, continued nine
years later with Before Sunset, and
Celine (Delpy) and Jesse (Hawke) are still magnetizing to watch on the screen
in Before Midnight. Their relationship
has blossomed, surprisingly indirectly, throughout each film displaying a
complex portrayal of transitioning love. There is a delicate and somewhat
damaged aspect to their relationship that makes the journey thus far uncertain, an aspect that allows the film to break away from the trappings of most romantic films. The lack of interaction from
the narrative with concern towards the viewers perceived progression of the
characters motivations keeps a backseat perspective in a moving car through all
the terrains of their life. The result is a captivating and impressive feat of
writing and filmmaking.
