BEFORE MIDNIGHT

Nine years on from Before Sunset, the highly-regarded sequel to Before Sunrise, we catch up with Jesse and Celine for a third and possibly final time. Now together and raising twin daughters, Jesse (Hawke) attempts to maintain a relationship with Hank, his teenage son from his first marriage, but their bond is strained even though Hank has just spent the summer with his dad and step-family. Meanwhile, Celine (Delpy) must make a difficult decision about her career. The continuing story of a couple who now navigate the complexities of middle age with the idealism of youth never far from the surface. An often funny, melancholic and truthful piece of filmmaking.
