Past Lives (12A)
Topping the independent cinema charts for weeks when it first emerged and garnering 5-star reviews, Past Lives is a film with a delicacy and authenticity that resonates long after the credits roll. Two childhood best friends who were separated when one family emigrated from South Korea are reunited twenty years later. Celine Song’s remarkable debut explores tapestry of themes – fate, cultural identity, choices and love with a simple, graceful, poignancy. Exploring a Korean concept “inyeon”, Song explains it can describe how “you are connected to each other in lives before this one and also that you will be connected in the lives after this one. And in every lifetime, it’s going to mean something a little different”. This is an exquisite gem of a film, not to be missed. See it on the big screen. “It’s a must see” – Peter Bradshaw.
