But all kidding aside, this Blu-ray set is an invaluable resource for those interested in studying an actor whose status as an American icon has rarely been eclipsed, despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that he only starred in three movies.Дean's first starring performance was guided by the capable hands of director Elia Kazan, who had been looking for the right actor to play the role of Cal Trask in John Steinbeck's East of Eden (1955). How nitpicky do we want to get? To truly be a complete James Dean collection (as has been advertised, including by several reviewers), this would need to include Sailor Beware, Has Anybody Seen My Gal? and a couple of other titles in which Dean appeared uncredited in microscopic roles before hitting his stride.

It's a beautifully sustained piece of cinema, raw and authentic and emotional, and if the movie ends just a bit too abruptly. Both parties are right, both parties are wrong. There's wooing and whining, and flirting and fighting.

Despite any dressing provided by the locales or the supporting characters, this series has always been about Jesse and Celine, so it's no surprise that everything and everyone else eventually drops out of the picture, leaving the couple to engage each other one-on-one. Linklater, Hawke and Delpy again share scripting duties (Krizan is MIA this time around), and the actors' involvement doubtless led to much of the seemingly improvised nature of the chats.

There's a superb sequence set around a dinner table (outdoors, of course), and the dialogue is so fresh and invigorating that the scene proves to be as exciting as any action set-piece involving costumed heroes (or if we're talking about Man of Steel, more exciting). The bulk of the dramatic tension doesn't come until later: Initially, the focus is on the couple as they relate to their children and to the big-hearted folks who have invited them into their home for relaxation and conversation. As we join them again, they're vacationing in Greece, but despite the idyllic setting and the group of friends they've made, not everything is perfect.

Jesse and Celine did decide to remain together, and in the nine years since, they've settled down in Paris and produced twin daughters.

The note-perfect ending, one of the best fade-outs of its decade, was ambiguous, but with Before Midnight, we now know how things panned out. This time, the setting is Paris, as Celine and Jesse see each other for the first time since Vienna and must decide whether to grab this second chance at love. Nine years later, the gang returned for 2004's Before Sunset, with Hawke and Delpy not only reprising their roles but also writing the screenplay with Linklater and Krizan (the quartet received an Oscar nomination for their joint effort). The project began with 1995's Before Sunrise: Written by director Richard Linklater and Kim Krizan, it tells of a chance encounter between a young American named Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and a young Frenchwoman named Celine (Julie Delpy), who become acquainted while traveling by train in Europe and decide to spend their final hours together in Vienna.
