Before Trilogy Marathon Screening15

Directed by Richard Linklater | USA | 1995-2013 | 4h 50m + intermissions | Starring Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy, Andrea Eckert, Vernon Dobtcheff, Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick

Spanning nearly two decades, Richard Linklater’s Before Trilogy follows Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Céline (Julie Delpy), two strangers whose chance meeting on a train sparks a romance that unfolds through heartfelt conversations. Set against the backdrops of Vienna, Paris, and the Peloponnese, the trilogy evolves from the youthful spontaneity of Before Sunrise to the bittersweet realities of Before Sunset and the raw honesty of Before Midnight. A milestone in modern cinema, it remains one of the most genuine and moving portrayals of love and relationships captured on screen.

Plan your visit

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
