We are watching the final part of Richard Linklater's trilogy, in which Jesse and Celine, who have been in love for 20 years, experience a challenging period in the maturity of their relationship.
In the distant year of 1995, Richard Linklater, unexpectedly to himself and those around him, created an incredibly beautiful film about love. It was a true miracle! The magic of the first encounter, the enchantment and captivation of someone new, just discovered, the miracle of a newborn connection—finally, all of this was captured on film. Linklater managed not to falsify the delicate matter of the electricity that suddenly appears between people—unpredictable and amazing, fleeting but capable of leaving a lasting impression.
Nine years later, he made a sequel to the story - "Before Sunset" - with the same, now more mature actors. Sequels are rarely good, but Linklater once again created a masterpiece! And then, nine years later again - the third installment, once more with the same actors, now nine years older. All three films are absolutely charming.
