Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Before Midnight A Philosophical Exploration

"No matter how in love you were at 20, no matter how beautiful it was at 30, no matter how conflicted you were at 40: you are going to die. This is the sad reality for all of us. It is revolting, it is upsetting, it is wrong, it is unfair. But it is the human condition."

Julie Delpy, actor and screenwriter of the Before trilogy

"The collection follows a recognisable approach of analytically-inflected film-philosophy, and the results are illuminating and rewarding. At its best, such an approach provides a vocabulary and a framework that helps one better to articulate one's existing experience of the film, while also managing to help one to view the film from a fresh angle, which reveals new connections and points of emphasis."

-James Zborowski, Film-Philosophy
