Awe Inspiring

This is one of the film series which always surpasses my expectations. After magnificent Before Sunset, I was not sure about the story can pursuit without being pretentious. But I believed in Linklater and he is indeed the man who does know how to carry on things without any mistake.

I really loved the premise and this film surely recreates the magic of the preceding installments. It was great to watch Celine & Jesse finally together but more than anything I appreciate the fact that both of them have been shown matured in terms of their personality too apart from their age. It is really great how Linklater has so beautifully narrated two lives in just three films, in less than 300 minutes. And more than that their state of relationship has changed over the specific period of time. Set in Greece, once again cinematography is eye-catching but I lost in long walks and never-ending conversations. The experience was as refreshing as the one with Vienna. Moreover, the film deals with relationship problems at middle ages. Celine and Jesse are also faced with troubles just like any other couple. It shows even such an ideal couple also has to face certain problems.

However, it once again ends beautifully with a sweet note. There might be another film nine years later or might not be. But I have no complains if this is the end. Because it is a perfect end note of this journey and yet so open. These are one of the few films which are personally bound with me.
