The Heartbreaking Genius Of “Before Midnight”

Before Sunrise , Before Sunset , and Before Midnight are staggeringly crafted. An appreciation of the Richard Linklater-directed trilogy.

Something happens in Before Sunrise and Before Sunset that I didn't see in Before Midnight because it couldn't be in Before Midnight. The first time it happens in the back of a Vienna streetcar, not too long after Jesse and Celine decide to spend the night together and get off the train not knowing each other's names. They are talking (they are always talking), and Jesse moves to brush her hair out of her face and then catches himself.

And then in the Before Sunset, it happens again. This time Celine catches herself.
