Richard Linklater’s 1995 "Before Sunrise" was a cult classic romantic drama that took a real, sometimes uncomfortably close look at the birth of a relationship between Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy).
Two sequels later, Linklater’s 2013 "Before Midnight" shows that 18 years on, the story of these two characters, like their relationship, is surviving the test of time.
We talk to actress Julie Delpy about the film, and how it feels to be a part of the classic romantic movie trilogy.
What are the aspects that make the "Before" series so durable? How is it that Delpy and her co-writers can keep getting the stark realities of relationships right, 18 years after their first success?
