Richard Linklater’s incomparable three-part romance and meditation on time
Now available in one box set
The cornerstone of director Richard Linklater’s career‑long exploration of cinematic time, this celebrated three-part romance captures a relationship as it begins, begins again, deepens, and strains over the course of almost two decades. Chronicling the love of Celine (Julie Delpy) and Jesse (Ethan Hawke), from their first meeting as idealistic twentysomethings to the disillusionment they face together in middle age, The Before Trilogy also serves as a document of a boundary-pushing and extraordinarily intimate collaboration between director and actors, as Delpy and Hawke imbue their characters with a sense of lived-in experience, and age on-screen along with them. The Before films chart the progress of romantic destiny as it navigates the vicissitudes of ordinary life.
Director-Approved Special Edition Features
- New, restored versions approved by director Richard Linklater
- New discussion featuring Linklater, Delpy, and Hawke
- Behind-the-scenes footage and interviews
- Two documentaries, and a video essay
- Episode of the radio program Fresh Air featuring host Terry Gross, Linklater, Delpy, and Hawke
- And more!
Product Description
The cornerstone of the career-long exploration of cinematic time by director Richard Linklater (Boyhood), this celebrated three-part romance captures a relationship as it begins, begins again, deepens, strains, and settles over the course of almost two decades. Chronicling the love of Celine (Julie Delpy) and Jesse (Ethan Hawke), from their first meeting as idealistic twentysomethings to the disillusionment they face together in middle age, The Before Trilogy also serves as a document of a boundary-pushing and extraordinarily intimate collaboration between director and actors, as Delpy and Hawke, who cowrote two of the films, imbue their characters with a sense of raw, lived-in experience, and as they age on-screen along with them. Attuned to the sweeping grandeur of time s passage as well as the evanescence of individual moments, the Before films chart the progress of romantic destiny as it navigates the vicissitudes of ordinary life.

******Spoiler****** When Celine sang that song to Jesse at the close...wow, what an ending!
When I heard they were finally working on the third film, I was ecstatic. I also knew this would probably be the last we would see of Jesse and Celine. As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. I eventually found a DVD copy of Before Sunrise, but at this point Blu-rays were the thing. After Before Midnight was released on Blu, I wanted to wait until a trilogy of some sort was released. So I waited, and waited, and even started wondering if it would ever be released. Finally those of us fan boys and girls have our day! What a beautiful set with extras to keep you occupied for hours. As with most in demand Criterion releases, I would snap this one up as soon as you can, because it may disappear into that sunset before you realize.
The extras, Criterion's true calling card are magnificent as well.. If you love these films as I do then go ahead and pull the trigger, you won't be disappointed over the next years as you re-watch them and some subtle insight you did not pick up before in an early viewing (or an earlier point of your life) will be revealed. Like all great literature, these change in their dynamic meaning at different points in your life.
All 3 films look and sound incredible, especially the first two.
The special features are really informative and entertaining as well.
Overall I am very happy with my purchase.
The packaging receives: 5/5, The Video and Audio Quality of the DVDs; 5/5, The special Features; 5/5.
It’s evocative, incredibly acted, and almost TOO real. This set of movies is almost more real than real life in the way it communicates a lifetime of love and longing, sorrow and desire, loss and heartbreak in a series of 2 hour keyhole glimpses into the lives of strangers who quickly become as close as family. Cannot recommend these films more. They are truly masterpieces in every conceivable way.

Sin duda una excelente inversión.
And as a Criterion set, it is even better!
Punto y aparte merece la edición de Criterion Collection, que es la única que ofrece las tres películas en Blu Ray y, como es costumbre, van más allá de una transferencia entre formatos, son una joya audiovisual.
