2.31 - BEFORE SUNRISE (1995) & Time

This week we embark on a new franchise, spending time with the first film in Richard Linklater’s trilogy. We talk about the passage of time, why this might have made a better play than a movie, and how the film might just be a metaphor for the whole industry.

Footnotes
If you haven’t seen anything of the ‘Lonely Island’ crew, do yourself a favour and dive into their work on YouTube. Otherwise, there aren't a lot in the way of footnotes, this week, apart from an article on a recent political stand taken by Richard Linklater as well as a link to his biography.
