Nine years later, we meet Jesse and Celine again in Greece, almost 20 years after they first met on a train to Vienna.
Before Midnight Movie Story
Director Richard Linklater’s trilogy of Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and Before Midnight, along with Michael Apted’s Up documentary series for lovelorn movie buffs, revisits the story of Jesse (Hawke) and Celine (Delpy) every nine years. Linklater introduced us to the couple as smooth, youthful-faced 23-year-olds, full of dreams and hopes. When they return, they find themselves a little older and wiser at 32. In Before Midnight, they’re 41. They’re wrinkled, looking tired and anxious, swimming in the ocean and yelling at their kids not to go too far.
