Before Midnight

Presented on 35mm

Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Céline (Julie Delpy) first met in their twenties in Before Sunrise; reunited in their thirties in Before Sunset; now, in director Richard Linklater’s amazing Before Midnight, they face the past, present, and future; family, romance and love. On a writer’s retreat in Greece, the couple looks for a night of passion, but instead their idyllic night turns into a test of their relationship and a discussion of what the future holds for them.

Nominated Best Adapted Screenplay at the 86th Academy Awards.

Revisit the entirety of Jesse and Céline’s decades spanning love story in Richard Linklater’s Before Trilogy, playing as part of Brief Encounters.

"Before Midnight is moving because it acknowledges that even love stories that began as beautifully as Jesse and Celine's must still endure the wear and tear of real life."
Pablo Villaça, RogerEbert.com
"Linklater may not have set out to make a decade-spanning triptych of poetic meditations on youth, young adulthood, and middle age, but he, Hawke, and Delpy have accomplished exactly that. The Before series has steadily gotten better as it goes along, which is more than any but the most optimistic among us dare to hope for from love."
Dana Stevens, Slate
