  • Sony Pictures Classics Acquires Sundance Favorite Before Midnight
    SONY PICTURES CLASSICS ACQUIRES SUNDANCE FAVORITE BEFORE MIDNIGHT NEW YORK (January 25, 2013) - Sony Pictures Classics announced today that they have acquired all North American and UK rights to Richard Linklater’s BEFORE MIDNIGHT, the third installment to BEFORE SUNRISE and BEFORE SUNSET, starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. Like BEFORE SUNSET, the third film is written by Academy Award® nominees Linklater, Hawke and Delpy. Premiering to critical acclaim in the Premieres Section on Sunday evening at the Sundance Film Festival, BEFORE MIDNIGHT has been one of the most talked about films at the festival. The film is produced by Linklater, Christos V. Konstantakopoulos and Sara Woodhatch and executive produced by Jacob Pechenik, Martin Shafer, Liz Glotzer, and John Sloss. The deal was negotiated by SPC and Cinetic Media on behalf of the filmmakers. In BEFORE MIDNIGHT, we meet Celine and Jesse 9 years on. Almost 2 decades have passed since that first meeting on a train bound for Vienna, and we now find them in their early 40's in Greece. Before the clock strikes midnight, we will again become part of their story. "In 1991 we were in Sundance with SLACKER and we witnessed the birth of a major American filmmaker. At Sundance 2013 with BEFORE MIDNIGHT, we have further confirmation that Richard Linklater is a film master at the peak of his form. This one has it all as entertainment and as a work of cinematic art. It is a perfect movie made by not one but three auteurs, Rick, Ethan Hawke, and Julie Delpy. This movie will be incredibly successful around the world.

  • Review by Kim Wilkins University of Oslo
    POST-PRINT Review By Kim Wilkins University of Oslo Rob Stone’s Before the End intelligently illustrates—and lays bare—the deep emotional investment in Jesse and Céline’s romantic connection maintained by many fans of Richard Linklater’s Before trilogy since the two alighted from a train in Vienna twenty-five years ago. Characteristic of transformative fanfiction, Before the End demonstrates this investment by offering an insightful imagining of Jesse and Céline in our current pandemic moment: the two are geographically separated, connected to one another—and their fanbase—only by the technological affordances of digital communication. Although Stone never addresses why this once-idealised romantic couple is separated—perhaps by inopportune but unintended circumstance, perhaps by design—the video implies a tension between the Before trilogy’s ethos: the attempt at true interpersonal connection and the wounds inflicted and revealed as part of such an asymptotic endeavour. Stone’s use of jump-cuts, freeze frames, and pixilation intrude on the intimate—but distanced—exchange, halting its flow in a manner both isomorphic with the reality of videocalls—ever more present in our current pandemic situation—and visualising the fissures and ruptures endemic to effortful interpersonal understanding. As both a work of, and a comment on, fanfiction, Stone’s use of footage from the TIFF Originals’ Stay-at-Home Cinema series is illuminating. In their respective interviews, Delpy and Hawke are asked to respond to the construction and trajectories of their characters and the role that the Before series plays in fans' lives. Often, at times, these actors are in essence talking about—but, of course, never to— one another, while fans’ comment in the chat sidebar in ways that both conflate and separate character and actor (“Are Céline and Jesse still together?”/“I love you, Ethan Hawke”).

    E-Revista de Estudos Interculturais do CEI – ISCAP N.º 4, maio de 2016 ALGUMAS NOTAS SOBRE VIENA, PARIS, UMA ILHA NA GRÉCIA E DOIS AMANTES José Duarte FLUL/CEAUL/FCT [email protected] Resumo O presente artigo pretende analisar três filmes de Richard Linklater: Before Sunrise, 1995, Before Sunset, 2004 e Before Midnight, 2013 que se debruçam sobre a história de um casal ao longo de dezoito anos. Para além de assinalar alguns dos aspectos mais relevantes de cada narrativa, a análise proposta debruça-se essencialmente na viagem feita pelos dois personagens – Jesse e Céline – e nos vários locais dos diferentes filmes e os seus significados. Deste modo, o objectivo deste estudo é analisar o modo como Viena (Sunrise), Paris (Sunset) ou uma ilha na Grécia (Midnight) simbolizam três momentos distintos na relação de Jesse e Céline, funcionando também os locais como personagens que envolvem e caracterizam os dois amantes. Key-words: Richard Linklater; Viena; Paris; Grécia; Cinema; Espaço; Viagem. “Maybe I only exist in your mind, but still just as real as anything else.” Waking Life, 2001 – Richard Linklater O cinema de Richard Linklater Conhecido cineasta Americano, mas bastante influenciado pelo cinema europeu – em particular pela Nouvelle Vague – Richard Linklater é um realizador que procura explorar os pequenos momentos da vida diária nos seus filmes. Quer através de um registo mais próximo do realista, quer pela sua obsessão com o espaço e as palavras, Linklater, como nota Mayshark (2007: 15/16), mostra um verdadeiro interesse nos personagens que habitam os seus filmes. 1 Oscilando entre o cinema de autor e Hollywood, Linklater ficou conhecido por filmes como Slacker (1991), obra em que explora a cidade de Austin, local onde desenvolveu a sua educação cultural, através de personagens marginais que circulam pela cidade sem qualquer propósito.
