Jesse & Celine & Marya & Crying
I’ve watched the first two back to back many times but I’ve never actually watched the whole trilogy in one sitting before so someone check on me in six hours
you shouldn’t actually choose but
wow harsh on MIDNIGHT
obviously my answer is
but I think all three work so importantly together to build their lives
like the Apu trilogy. PATHER PANCHALI is a standout but its perfection is enhanced by the films that follow it.
I’ve already cried about five times
Can’t ever forget what it was like after BEFORE SUNRISE ended the first time I watched it, but I had BEFORE SUNSET to watch right after. I’m sure people who saw it first run in theaters were completely shook. So many after theater debates in bars and restaurants I’m sure.
First time I saw these I liked SUNRISE more bc I hated Hawke’s haircut in SUNSET. Now SUNSET is the one that continues to stick with me the most, speaks to me the deepest. I relate really hard to Jesse’s sadness and isolation and the joy he has in reconnecting with Celine.
omg Céline is 32 in SUNSET so now I am older than Céline in this movie but when I first saw these movies I was younger than they were in SUNRISE
I remember so distinctly how BEFORE SUNSET was playing at the Rialto in Elmwood when I was a freshman in college and I wanted to go but I didn’t go because I hadn’t seen BEFORE SUNRISE yet and I didn’t have Netflix yet so I couldn’t rent it and I think about that marquee a lot
once I had a part time job and my own Netflix account these movies were some of the first films I rented
this fucking dialogue
literally me (and not just because of quarantine. will still be me after quarantine.)
I feel this
Céline has this piece of dialogue about how all her exes are married. “Men go out with me, we break up, and then they get married.”

And y’all literally every guy I dated in my 20s is either married or been with the person they dated after me for 5+ years. I feel so seen.
not sure that tweet was worded quite right but they’re all married to the person they dated after me or still with the person they dated after me. IT’S A WEIRD FEELING.
I love Céline’s apartment so much
anyone who has been to my apartment and seen this movie will see its influence
🗣 THE GREATEST ENDING IN THE HISTORY OF CINEMA
Hawke and Delpy and Linklater when they came up with this ending
had to make some tea. now I’m diving in for a third round.
Jesse with Hank 😭
None of the caps I’ve posted are form the Criterion set btw. I’m reposting old caps from DVDs on my tumblr.
I would read every single one of Jesse’s pretentious books.
fuuuuuuck
to memorize

I forgot you get to see Julie Delpy’s tits a bunch in this one
2020

I’m spent
