Before midnight

I saw this as a preview in NFT1 with Hilary (no popcorn!).  It is the third in a series of films, telling the story of the relationship between Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy.  The films are spaced roughly ten years apart, and there is a comfortable familiarity of style between them all, as they are essentially based on the relationship between the two main characters - there are very few other people in the films.  It is quite a tribute to the film-makers that the film includes several long 20 minutes scenes where Julie and Ethan are basically just talking to each other, or arguing with each other, and yet it remains captivating. I wonder if there will be one in ten years time....
