If you ask me a direct question to explain the plot of this movie I might become numb. Seriously comparing with most of the romantic movies out there this one has no story at all. But if that’s so how can this be so appealing can be your next question. For that I have a simple answer. For anyone who has fallen in love with the right person even though you may or may not be living with that person right now Before Midnight will be speaking even a bit of your story. And for some it maybe because this reminds them about the first 2 installments of this movie Before Sunrise (1995) and Before Sunset (2004) but in my case I vaguely remember both. So my review on this is purely based to what I have seeing in this and this only.
Before Midnight is the far continuation of the story of Jesse and Celine after they met 9 years back in Paris. Keeping that detail aside they are now happily married and having twin daughters and this time they are in Greece for a vacation. So the story begins. As I mentioned before this sums up the whole story but the real beauty and the story of this movie is in the script and that script is fantastic. And this must be having a million dialogues in it. As when there is some kind of a silence hit the screen you start to wonder where the hell all that talking went. True some of the time these lengthy conversations are boring and seem rather irrelevant but the good thing they won’t let you give up the movie. There is something that makes you hang on to it. Maybe because those dialogues are true to life and heart felt.
The main characters are beautifully portrayed by Ethan Hawk and Julie Delpy whiles the cinematography and the atmospheric mood of Greece takes you on a vacation. You get to walk along some of the scenic country side and medieval type architecture without a sweat. And in the middle of all that you feel love in the air. This is a movie that you can experience. Watch it.
