Past Lives

  • Dir: Celine Song

  • USA, 2023, Korean/English, 106mins, DCP

  • Cast: Greta Lee, Teo Yoo, John Magaro

Drawing on her own history and culture in crafting this gorgeous, deft debut film, Korean-Canadian playwright Celine Song delivers an achingly romantic drama which has universal resonance in its acute understanding of inexpressible feelings and delicate rendering of undefinable relationships. Separated for over 20 years, two childhood sweethearts are reconnected in person in New York following a brief virtual reunion in between. By then, each has settled into their respective lives. Inexorably tethered to the past, the wistful souls still share a yearning for each other, but are left to contemplate on the paths not taken and the destiny of life.
