Before Midnight
(2013)
In this sequel to
Before Sunrise, the romantic movie of 1995, and Before Sunset, the movie of
2004, you will now find the lead characters Celine and Jesse in their mid-forties.
Nine decades after
the previous movie, Celine and Jesse are now married and have twin daughters
and are having a get together at a friend’s house in Peloponnese in Greece. Just like its earlier prequels,
Before Midnight, is a story told over a period of 24 hours. The two much
admired and loved characters of earlier movies are caught in a relationship
that is at risk when Celine is struggling hard with her job while Jesse is a
bit down and out after dropping his son from his ex-wife at the airport.
Directed with
great finesse while handling a very explosive situation in married life, this
movie was nominated for academy awards in the best adapted screenplay category.
Before Midnight is a must watch.
We give it an 8.5
in a scale of 10.
