If you've read this blog before, you know that I've adored the Before Sunrise and Before Sunset movies. These indie darlings have managed to approach relationships and the oft complicated relationships between men and women with humor and strength. You want Céline (Julie Delphy) and Jesse (Ethan Hawke) to end up together, yet life and the sometimes questionable rationale behind it, makes you understand- and even accept- why they could decide to part ways. In fact, Before Sunset, the second movie, leaves you hanging: will they or won't they? Well, true to form - it's been 9 years - the third and presumably final installment of their saga is upon us. Before Midnight premiered to stellar reviews this week at Sundance and promises to deliver the same kind of honest approach to love as its two predecessors. Themes expected to be touched upon are soul mates, intimacy and very basically: how can you keep your love alive? I can't wait to see it and really recommend the first two movies. I feel like they are voices of a generation, many generations in fact. Let's face it, life and love are no easy feat and it's refreshing to know that (even fictional) characters share the same struggles! Romantics and cynics alike will love it. Promise. xox
