The Before Trilogy: Before Midnight

Thursday, August 15 at 7 PM

“None of the films is faultless in itself, but, tinted with complementary tones, the complete cycle comes as close to perfection as any trilogy in cinema history.”
— Donald Clarke, Irish Times

KPAC presents BEFORE MIDNIGHT as part of our The Before Trilogy series. The conclusion of The Before Trilogy finds Celine and Jesse several years into a relationship and in the midst of a sun-dappled Greek retreat with their twin daughters and a group of friends. The couple soon find their vacation upended, however, by long-simmering problems that come to a boil. Marked by the emotional depth, piercing wit, and conversational exuberance that Linklater and his actors honed over two decades of abiding with these characters, Before Midnight grapples with the complexities of long-term intimacy, and asks what becomes of love when it has no recourse to its past illusions.

Rated: R | 1 hr 49 min | Tickets: $8 Adult / Film Pass
