Film: Eighteen years ago, Ethan Hawke first paired with Julie Delpy in Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise, about a novelist named Jesse with meets a French chick named Celine on a European train and they spend the night walking and talking through the streets of Vienna. That could have been the end of their story, but moviegoers connected with these characters so much that there had to be a sequel, 2004’s Before Sunset, where they reunite in Paris while Jesse is on a book tour. Now comes the third shoe to drop, Before Midnight, set today, when the long-married couple, parents to two girls, spend an idyllic summer in Greece. Before leaving, their friends give them a one-night hotel stay, which should be romantic, but instead wounds are opened between Jesse and Celine. If you have seen the two previous films, chances are you are hooked on this improvised saga. If you are new to the series, see the two earlier films quickly through a streaming service and catch up. Before Midnight is playing now in several area theaters.
Theater: Closing this weekend at GableStage is the provocatively titled Cock, Mike Bartlett’s far-fetched, but compelling tale of a gay man who leaves his long-time partner and unexpectedly meets a — gasp! — woman and falls in love with her. Such a fundamental change in who he is, as defined by his sexual orientation, is disorienting. It begins a tug-of-war over him that climaxes at an ever-so-civilized dinner party where he must make the choice of his life. Ryan Didato heads a spot-on cast as the conflicted soul, drawn to both Nicholas Richberg and Julie Kleiner. Through Sunday. Call (305) 445-1119 for tickets.
Music: This weekend, a new classical music group gets under way down south with the arrival of the Miami Chamber Music Society, a collaboration between pianist Marina Radiushina and attorney and cultural arts leader Mike Eidson. The Society will present the last of the Mainly Mozart concerts at the University of Miami’s Gusman Hall with music by Pärt, Janáček, de Falla, Schnittke — and Mozart (the Piano Trio in C, K. 548) — played by Radiushina, violinist Eli Matthews and cellist Joshua Roman. The concert will end with the premiere of a new ballet set to Paul Schoenfield’s Café Music, choreographed by Miami City Ballet’s Adriana Pierce and featuring six dancers from the company. Add to that narration by UM’s Frank Cooper and video installations to go with it, and you have the makings of a concert well in tune with today’s audience Zeitgeist. Tickets for the 3 p.m. Sunday concert are $20; call 786-422-5211 or visit www.mainlymozart.com.
