Why watch this film?
Melancholy and sublime, 'Before Sunrise' - the first installment of what would become the 'Before Trilogy' - became a successful portrait of modern love and youthful hopes, beautifully filmed and with intelligent dialogue. 'Before Sunset', written by director Richard Linklater and its protagonists Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, picks up the story of their characters nine years later: Celine has settled down in Paris, where she reunites with Jesse, who is now a novelist and is promoting his book there. With the same style full of dialogue and real-time events as its predecessor, the movie paints a more mature, melancholy, and reflective portrait of love, opening up the wounds left by loves that got away, and consolidating itself as the rare sequel that is as good or better than the first part.

Last Flag Flying
A long movie with moments of lightness but with a dark and moving story about the obstacles that life throws in our way and how we overcome them with the help of our friends. Director Richard Linklater (nominated for an Oscar for 'Boyhood') is a master in terms of actor direction and this is made clear throughout the movie. Steve Carell ('Foxcatcher'), Bryan Cranston ('Breaking Bad') and Laurence Fishburne ('Matrix') are impeccable as three Vietnam War veterans who haven't seen each other for years and reunite for the funeral of one of them's son, killed in combat, in the Iraq War.

A Scanner Darkly
Based on the namesake novel by science fiction genius Philip K. Dick, 'A Scanner Darkly' is one of Richard Linklater's most ambitious films to date. With its very particular rotoscoping-animated visual style (it was digitally filmed and then "drawn" frame by frame), the movie offers us a desolate look into a drug-dominated future where surveillance and fear are enough by themselves to evoke paranoia and identity crisis.

Boyhood
With 'Boyhood: Moments of a Life', the always innovative American filmmaker, Richard Linklater ('Before Sunrise') achieved one of the most ambitious and successful cinematic experiments of our time: matching real time with the time of film narration. The movie was filmed over twelve years (2001-2013), with a script written collaboratively on the go, to tell the story of twelve years in the life of a child, emotionally portrayed by Ellar Coltrane, whom we see growing and maturing before our eyes. It is an epic film in the proportions of its production, but extremely intimate in the scope of its story. Winner of the Oscar for Patricia Arquette's performance.

Before Sunrise
Director and screenwriter Richard Linklater (who would later become known for 'Boyhood') takes a very simple premise in 'Before Sunrise': two strangers who bump into each other on a train in Europe and decide to spend the night together in beautiful Vienna. He (Ethan Hawke) is an American boy carefree with life, traveling aimlessly after getting dumped. She (Julie Delpy) is a French girl with certain ideals. From there, we fall in love with these two real characters, so believable, thanks to Linklater's accurate script, which leaves gimmicks aside and just puts Jesse and Celine walking through the streets, getting to know each other, falling in love and making the audience fall in love with this instant passion. It's hard not to sigh in some scenes that have already become classics of cinema, such as the averted looks in the record store or the imaginary telephone game in the restaurant. It's a simple movie, with great performances by Hawke and Delpy, that makes us travel not only through Austria, but also through the infinite possibilities of love.

Apollo 10½: A Space Age Childhood
He may get it wrong sometimes, but filmmaker and screenwriter Richard Linklater is one of the most authoritative voices in contemporary cinema. He plays with narratives (the 'Before' trilogy), visuals ('Waking Life') and even time ('Boyhood'). Netflix exclusive movie 'Apollo 10½: A Space Age Childhood' blends all of Linklater's innovations together. After all, the feature film is a mirror of the filmmaker's childhood, showing the impact of the Apollo 10 space flight on his life, and using the same animation technique as 'Waking Life' - plus plenty of conversation, as is customary in his narratives. Tailor-made for the filmmaker's fans, 'Apollo 10½: A Space Age Childhood' knows how to bring nostalgia to the screen without excessive nostalgia, and makes the audience think about their own journey.

School of Rock
Although it doesn't talk about a real rock band, it's hard not to think of the musical genre and not remember the beloved movie 'School of Rock'. An unusual foray of filmmaker Richard Linklater ('Before Sunrise') into a typical afternoon session production, this production is to be kept under lock and key in the heart. After all, just like 'Dead Poets Society', 'School of Rock' talks about the influence of a teacher - who isn't really a teacher in the end - on the lives of a group of young students. The rhythm is contagious, the children's acting makes a caress in the heart of the viewer and Jack Black has the biggest role of his career, along with 'High Fidelity', 'King Kong' and 'Bernie: Almost an Angel'.
![Where'd You Go, Bernadette](https://media.filmelier.com/images/filmes/thumb/whered-you-go-bernadette9577.jpeg)
Where'd You Go, Bernadette
"Where'd You Go, Bernadette?" is organized chaos. After all, it brings together director Richard Linklater ("Boyhood", "Before Midnight") and star Cate Blanchett ("Blue Jasmine") in the adaptation of the homonymous bestseller written by Maria Semple. The result is a bit uneven, but on the one hand it maintains some of that rebellious energy that characterizes Linklater's filmography; on the other, even though there was a lack of character development, the performances of the cast make this a very enjoyable comedy - and, for that reason, it ended up being worth a Golden Globe nomination for Cate.
![Hit Man](https://media.filmelier.com/tit/1cRJWO/thumb/hit-man_ZH0Y-3k.jpeg)
Hit Man
Hit Man marks the triumphant return of filmmaker Richard Linklater after three lackluster films: Last Flag Flying, Where'd You Go, Bernadette?, and Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Adventure. In the story, Gary (Glen Powell, from Top Gun: Maverick) is an ordinary guy. He teaches philosophy and psychology at a college, owns two cats, and is friends with his ex-wife. In his spare time, as a side job, he works undercover for the police – specifically, he pretends to be a professional hitman. And it is while playing this role that he falls in love with Madison (Adria Arjona), a woman who wants to hire him to kill her husband. How to deal with that? It’s a story of misunderstood and impossible love between Gary and Madison, which borders on the absurd. With another director, it could be a spy comedy about characters who don’t know how to navigate different personalities – something like the recent Family Plan. However, as fun as it is, Linklater knows how to extract something more from the plot, discussing themes like ego, superego, id, Freud, and Jung, and featuring brilliant chemistry between Powell and Arjona, placing the film on a high shelf in Linklater’s filmography.
Romance
![The Nature of Love](https://media.filmelier.com/tit/u4i1uk/thumb/the-nature-of-love_iWsIW8M.jpeg)
The Nature of Love
Sophia, a 40-year-old philosophy professor, has been in a stable and conventional marriage to Xavier for a decade. From gallery openings to endless dinner parties, ten years have flown by. When Sophia meets Sylvain, a craftsman renovating the couple’s new country house, Sophia’s world is turned upside down. The two begin a passionate affair fueled by their irresistible physical connection. However, Sophia comes from a wealthy family of intellectuals, while Sylvain comes from a working-class family of manual workers. As they get to know each other on a deeper level, Sophia begins to question her own values after abandoning herself to her great romantic impulses. Director Monia Chokri delivers a smart and sexy romantic comedy, infusing it with spiky energy and fresh perspective, upending genre and gender conventions.
![Goyo](https://media.filmelier.com/tit/gbj1n4/thumb/goyo_3Uh5LCI.jpeg)
Goyo
Goyo is a romantic film directed by Argentine filmmaker Marcos Carnevale (known for movies like Elsa & Fred). It's about a museum guide with Asperger's syndrome (Nicolás Furtado) who unexpectedly falls in love with the museum's new security guard (Nancy Dupláa), an older woman disillusioned with love. The story is appreciated for its touches of humor and the portrayal of a romantic relationship for a neurodivergent person (in this case, on the autism spectrum). However, the story is somewhat superficial and melodramatic. You'll enjoy it if you're looking for a tender, uncomplicated romance to enjoy with a partner.
![Jeanne du Barry](https://media.filmelier.com/tit/KSLSYD/thumb/jeanne-du-barry_Nv9mF4U.jpeg)
Jeanne du Barry
Jeanne du Barry is a French period drama, directed and starring Maïwenn (known for The Fifth Element), about the courtesan and the last official mistress of King Louis XV (Johnny Depp) of France. The film chronicles her life from her childhood and formative years as a servant's daughter, to her rise in French society through sex, alliances, and strategic marriages. Although well-crafted, it is a very conventional drama that, in its making, invites not very favorable comparisons with Barry Lyndon. While Kubrick's classic manages to be a very subtle satire, Maïwenn's film takes itself too seriously. This, considering its representation of the female gender and the backgrounds of its two main stars, not only does not help but invites questioning the purpose of telling this story, with so little hope for its protagonist. You will enjoy it if you like period dramas with sumptuous costumes, or if you are an avid follower of Johnny Depp.
