Summary:
"Lucas Hilderbrand's study provides a close reading of each of the Before films; Before Sunrise (1995), Before Sunset (2004), and Before Midnight (2013), considering the extent to which they operate beyond the generic norms of romantic comedy or melodrama, incorporating aspects of realism and naturalism through their location shooting, long takes, and near-real time temporality. He explores how the films' formal and aesthetic choices were influenced by Linklater's use of time as a framing structure for the characters' relationship and life stages"-- Provided by publisher.
