Ethan and Talia discuss Richard Linklater’s Before Trilogy: Before Sunrise (1995), Before Sunset (2004) and Before Midnight (2013). How our pleasure in this film might be largely based on being exactly the age of Jesse and Celine; was their ever a film depiction in the 90s of people having sex without being drunk? and our surmising on a possible storyline for a fourth film in the trilogy.
