Richard Linklater On Conversation as Plot

Richard Linklater, Julie Delpy, and Ethan Hawke discuss dialogue-heavy films and the challenge of structuring a story about the development of a relationship. Phillip Lopate moderates this conversation as part of Film Society of Lincoln Center's Summer Talks series. Sponsored by HBO®. About the film: Nine years after we last saw Celine and Jesse (Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke), the couple are together in Greece. Richard Linklater's latest collaboration with Hawke and Delpy picks up the story that began nearly two decades ago in Before Sunrise (1995) and then continued with Before Sunset (2004). In the new film, Before Midnight, Celine and Jesse are now in their 40s and grappling with the past, present and future of their relationship.
