It has been nine years since we last met Jesse and Celine, the French-American couple who once met on a train in Vienna. They now live in Paris with twin daughters but have spent a summer in Greece at the invitation of an author colleague of Jesse's. When the vacation is over and Jesse must send his teenage son off to the States, he begins to question his life decisions, and his relationship with Celine is at risk.
These foreign films share the same emotional core, themes, and structural feel as Before Midnight. Every one of them has confirmed English subtitles or dubbing.
Like Before Midnight, this one is rooted in all-consuming love and figuring out who you are. The world both films live in revolves around men and women navigating expectations, family duty, and family wounds passed down. Both move the same way too, warm and escalating.
