Celine Song's film 'Past Lives' captivates audiences by delving into profound themes of love and nostalgia through the story of Nora and Hae Sung, childhood sweethearts who reunite after years apart. The film's emotional resonance stirs viewers to reflect on what might have been. An accompanying screenplay book from A24 expands on these themes, featuring essays and an introduction by notable writers, including Lynn Nottage, who captures the essence of the film's haunting exploration of memory and love's complex nature.
"Past Lives shows us that love can morph into nostalgia, a yearning that is not easily translated - haunting us like the fragile memory of first love."
"What if this is a past life as well, and we are already something else to each other in our next life? Who do you think we are then?"
