Criterion Collection: the Before Trilogy [DVD] [Import]

Great movies

Me encantó la presentación. El producto llegó en muy buen estado, con las tres películas dentro de una caja, que a su vez venía envuelta con plástico. Tiene un sello de garantía que especifica ser edición especial y con material extra, aunado a los ajustes aprobados por el director. El diseño de la caja y de las portadas de cada película es muy artístico, me gustó mucho! Sin duda una excelente inversión.

My favourite trilogy ever, and that includes the Godfather, Star Wars or Star Trek 2-4 and I very much like those movies. Boyhood did one story over 12 years, but Linklater, Delpy and Hawke have created two characters being revisted 9 years later twice. First meeting on a train and a romantic night in Vienna, then in the sequel remeeting after novelist Jesse (Hawke) writes a novel about the night in Vienna and Celine (Delpy) goes to the Shakespeare Book store where he's doing a book signing, and they spend eighty minutes reconnecting before Jesse is supposed to catch his flight home. The third is (spoiler alert) after they've stayed together in Paris, and the natural issues in a long term relationship. It's primarily dialogue thoughts on love, relationships, death, life in general. Great dialogue, performances and some very funny lines. And the extras in the Criterion Collection are entertaining, informative about Director Linklater and his work, and the film transfers to Blu-Ray, beautiful. I highly recommend this.

Got this as a birthday gift! Hope they like it.

This might be my favourite trilogy ever made. Richard Linklater has created a masterpiece of cinema that is absorbing in its simplicity. Superb performances by Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke draw the viewer totally into the world of Jesse and Celine. And as a Criterion set, it is even better!
