Summer Talks | Before Midnight (full)

Richard Linklater, Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke discussed "Before Midnight"-the third film in a trilogy that spans 18 years and started with their award-winning "Before Sunrise" in 1995-at a free Summer Talk at Film Society of Lincoln Center. Sponsored by HBO®.

[@Bochanable]

The amount of dialogue was one of the strongest aspects because that is how people interact when they first meet. I really thought that Linklater truly allowed the actors to breathe and emote. And it is true that we are often caught in an acting mode. The dream of a truly romantic encounter is one filled with lots of intimate dialogue that .

[@JHallenbeck]

I love these three and I love their collaborations together. Before Midnight needs to win some awards glory. They are long overdue getting their acclaim for this magnificent series of films.

[@geraldjiading5866]

these three are so brilliant, i love the way they talk about their own professions. love the trilogy, definitely my favorite movie trilogy of all time.

[@Amelia4144]

Gerald Ding Same to me, but I'd add Kieslovsky's trilogy too: "Blue", "Blanc" and "Rouge", don't you agree?

[@geraldjiading5866]

Julio A. Mendez Sure! I love those too. But I still don't think they are as good as these three.

[@drmedwuast]

It's so cute how Julie and Ethan almost always talk at the same time, like an old couple would.

[@tommy1138]

Before Midnight was a brilliant film and the best of the series. So much heart and soul went into the production. Thanks for making real art Mr Linklater!

[@HappiestGnome]

We need more movies this good.

[@lucaslu6268]

I feel like i am watching another before film just by hearing them talk

[@tititalin]

non-acting is almost the highest level of acting.

[@fcd1996]

as a Brazilian myself, I'm so proud that the guy who asked Julie and Ethan if they've made out is Brazilian 🗣🗣🗣

[@yeosangcutiepiepie6779]

I miss them🥺

[@sgr7447]

"We cut out all the bad stuff" I REALLY want to hear all of their "bad ideas" that they cut out.

[@karenpaplia4958]

I love this one because it felt more real about love than any other. Real life. You don't see that much, authentic

[@Lyslyou]

In love with this trilogy.

[@laurenandlady8078]

This trilogy is so moving, beautiful, and life affirming.

[@TRONwuzhere82]

Ooooh how I love these films! Such a talented trio! =)

[@Ms30sm]

Great screenplay!!!

[@2nd3rd1st]

Interesting that this interview was held before midnight. ;)

[@malgosn]

julie looks stunning! :) so subtle

[@hilsmoore1416]

Ethan Hawke is such a flirt!

[@henrikloberg]

Thanks!

[@Zzz_bbl]

I just heard it from some film makers, I will watch it, I never watched it

[@bkooo5363]

Julie is so uncomfortable. Everyone is talking over her. I don't think it was intentional, but it is what it is. I love Julie, Ethan and Richard. The world is a better place because these films exist.

[@mirigrrl]

When are they gonna release the movie out of the USA ? I can't wait

[@malinhessedahl]

I love all three movies

[@anna.iakobidze]

i can not watch on this sites, i live in Tbilisi, Georgia, Caucasus. can anybody help me that i could watch it here? i just new that new film is already on

[@mrs.kateuz2084]

i love all three movies but before midnight is the best for me!!!

[@einasandstig5162]

"Rabbit, Run" by John Updike

[@paulec2634]

35:31 Any idea what exactly Richard Linklater actually says here? He's talking about how important Vienna was in the first movie as the location, and I assume he's saying something like, "we were always on the lookout for anything that's local" - but I cannot make out his words. If anyone can help please that would be great as I need it for an essay.

[@thanhquyensusan9815]

Khi nào ra mắt Before we die? Or something else?

He cuts off Richard Linklater at 19:00 hahaha

[@jordanthomas5318]

Does anyone know the sweet song at the beginning of this video?

[@abhimanc]

+Jordan Thomas Captain Nina by Graham Reynolds. All of it is OST from the film.

Abhinav Manchanda Original Sound Track?

which film are the talking about at 21:56 ?

@Rrijecanka. Please don't download it illegally. We need to support great art such as this. Try iTunes or your local indie cinema. If we treat great as if it were some billion dollar Michael bay shouting bullshit then we will not have people such as linklater making great art anymore.

[@ShauryaShaurya]

Which books is Ethan Hawke talking about at 24:40?

[@henrikloberg]

Is there any spoilers in this video? Really eager to watch it, but I can't if there's spoilers, because I won't be able to see it before August. (I think)

[@TheRocksbarney]

Yes

[@frankstein9982]

He's talking about John Updike's Rabbit novels

[@alisa9679]

My love Ethan Hawke :-)

[@jati7155]

which movies are they talking about from 21:25 to 22:00?

[@klapaucius5799]

+Ja Ti They're talking about 'Scenes from a Marriage' by Bergman and 'Contempt' by Godard.

[@anitaadvani8464]

I wish these two would take a permanent vacation!

[@Aashiema]

Yes some spoilers.

[@epilepticdwarfs]

Suhas Naik Jean-Luc Godard's film Contempt

[@eddiegaldamez664]

That hotel room scene just was flooded with Contempt. The thoughts of it just hit me in the face.

[@paulsolon6229]

Romanticism, extended now Hollywood, gives us a false fuzzy harmful view of what love really is. Love isn’t what happens in movies. Before Midnight is more real, not a fairytale

[@steviejohn9502]

you can make fun of me she said was she on her rags

[@astroboirap]

Delpy looks pissed off

[@ransuru]

Almost always

[@ecaepevolhturt]

Julie's character annoyed me and I thought they made way too many points in one scene.

[@cliffworks4321]

I don't get why people think and talk so seriously about films, it's just a form of entertainment, escapism, not real life just observing it from the outside within in a given time period albeit sometimes cleverly, to me film does not compare with music composition painting prose or poetry.

[@VanezArt]

some films, very, very rare ones, do.

[@lijohnyoutube101]

Because films like this are visual poetry it’s recognizing layers upon layers of the human experience! Its odd you view it as escapism as I only reserve that for garbage mainstream films which I choose to almost never watch!

[@gaisar80]

What happened to July? She just gain like….50 pounds!!!

[@michaelperry2018]

she had a kid and women naturally expand as they get older. its natural. it actually helps with child birth.

[@gaisar80]

+michael perry Didn't know that. I think she's great anyway.

[@reinhardtpresents3778]

Who's July?

[@teodelfuego]

Reinhardt Presents He means Julie

[@karinpowers1018]

You clearly don't know what 50 pounds actually looks like. She's not even heavy enough to have it affect her health.

[@steviejohn9502]

this is not a movie ok the hand back your over payed human paycheck if it was not a movie I will have it

[@ggrthemostgodless8713]

I am only five minutes into this but that woman is extremely obnoxious with all her being, posture, hand mannerisms, hair tweeting, small sounds she makes as other speak and the way she ignores others speaking as if only waiting to tell us her awesome wisdom and insights, etc etc even her leaning in that chair... hope it gets better.

[@ransuru]

It works in the movies, less in real life.

[@lijohnyoutube101]

I think she’s beautiful and self conscious. What you see as obnoxious I see as nerves layered on excitement!

[@lijohnyoutube101]

You also are CLEARLY not a woman that has ever had to be in a dress up on a stage!

[@ggrthemostgodless8713]

@@lijohnyoutube101 You're right, I am not a woman in a dress. I am a man with a pair of balls hanging low, having to adjust them often. What's your point?? that it is more difficult for women?? this stuff is hard for everyone. This is what equality looks like?? Women have been wanting equality don't they?? or have they changed their minds now with the coronavirus lockdown?? Loneliness??
