Film 1095: Before Midnight

Trivia: Dedicated to the memory of Amy, the woman who was the inspiration for Before Sunrise (1995). Richard Linklater had spent a night walking and talking around Philadelphia with her, but eventually they lost contact. Some time between Before Sunset (2004) and Before Midnight (2013), he finally learned that Amy had died many years before in a traffic accident, so he dedicated the movie to her.

Made 9 years after the second film and 18 years after first film, which is the length of time between the events in each story.

Ethan Hawke described Before Sunrise (1995) as a film about what might be, Before Sunset (2004) as a film about what could or should be, and Before Midnight (2013) as a film about what is.


Walter Lassally, who plays Patrick, the British writer, is a famous cinematographer, who despite having an Academy Award, this is his first time acting.
