What is the Before series?

Richard Linklater’s trilogy of Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, and Before Midnight tells the heartfelt, surprising tale of the joys and pains of modern love.

The films, starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, follow the evolving relationship of Jesse and Celine over a period of 18 years. Each film is set about nine years apart, capturing different stages of their lives and relationship. It's widely considered one the greatest film trilogies, and is notable for its extensive use of dialogue, with conversations driving the narrative and exploring themes of love, time, and relationships. The films are characterized by long, intimate conversations between the main characters, which often delve into their thoughts, feelings, and philosophies.
