Well, hello there, kind folks. If you’re visiting this blog of mine, I presume that you have a certain interest in the cinema. As for me, even since my early childhood, I have had a deep love of everything related to movies and television. As far as I can remember, I have been more at ease in front of a screen than in the yard, outside, playing. It is a great way to travel, though other people’s stories, without having to foot any kind of steep bill. Over the years, I feel that movie-watching has even fuelled my own creativity.

All that being said, I welcome you in my Cinephile’s Nest. I hope you enjoy it here, feel free to come back at any time. Here you will find reviews of current movies and older ones. TV shows also. Some classics that have remained some of my favourites, some that have disappointed me. I will use a very basic star (*) system to grade them from 1 to 5 (5 being sliced bread level). Remember, these are just my tastes. I will try to explain in each review what I liked about these particular movies, without giving spoilers.

Il y aura aussi des critiques en français pour les films francophones, car j'aime également le cinéma dans ma langue maternelle. Avant d'apprendre l'anglais, plus jeune, je louais des tonnes de films traduits en français, surtout ceux de Bud Spencer et Terrence Hill. Ma mère a eu le choc de sa vie lorsqu'un jour, dans la boîte d'un de ces films, Deep Throat avait malencontreusement inséré. Une expérience formatrice pour le jeune cinéphile que je suis.

Bienvenue à tous, amusez-vous bien.

I welcome you all here, enjoy yourself.

Before Midnight (2013)

 

Genre: Romance / Drama
Directed by: Richard Linklater
Cast: Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy 
Running Time: 109 minutes


 

Nine years after the events of Before Sunset, Jesse and Céline are now a couple, with twin daughters. After having had his teenage son from a previous marriage with him and his present family for the Summer, Jesse has to send him back to Chicago, and he feels the disconnect. All of this brings the couple to a crossroad where they start questioning everything about their life together.

This is the third part of the trilogy involving the characters of Jesse and Céline, after Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. There is some very good complex writing here, and the actors deliver their respective roles with much talent, yet again. This film touched me even deeper, considering the age I am at. It felt so real, it felt like I was involved in the fight between the two main characters.

Overall, though it was a tad too long for what it was, this is still a smart movie well worth seeing.
