A short entry before bed on this Friday night as we intend on waking early and walking up surrounding hills before sunrise.
Sunrise and the weekend bring to mind Richard Linklater‘s Before triology: Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Before Midnight.
It’s hard to say which one is best, since each is about a different time in the life of a couple’s relationship. But if I had to pick one, then it would be Before Sunset. Besides it taking place in Paris, which has automatic extra credit points for me, something about the couple meeting up again 10 years later deeply resonated with me when I saw it the first time in 2004.
If you’re not up for a triology, then definitely watch Linklater’s Boyhood. It’s a technical feat of cinema in which he filmed the coming-of-age story with the same actors over a period of 12 years. Really, it’s impressive, and just a good film too.
I intend on taking it easy this weekend before, after and in between sunrises and sunsets. Whatever your plans while still mostly at home, have a good weekend!
