Past Lives, Netflix (Celine Song, 2023)
Celine Song’s wonderful, wistful movie asks: what if your first love was the greatest love of your life? That’s the question facing Nora (Greta Lee), who moved from South Korea to Canada aged 12 and lost touch with the boy she was close to, Hae-sung (Teo Yoo). Twelve years later, they reconnect through a series of video calls – but without being able to meet in person, where can the relationship go? Song’s film sidesteps melodrama to ponder the sometimes painful weight of history on the present and the decisions we make about who to love. Simon Wardell
