In this episode, I’m joined by my thoughtful and perceptive friend Raff for an in-depth conversation about Past Lives, Celine Song’s quietly powerful debut feature. Together, we unravel the film’s intricate emotional layers and its exploration of love, longing, and the parallel lives we imagine for ourselves. Past Lives delicately weaves together themes of time, memory, cultural identity, and the ache of “what could have been,” offering a poignant meditation on the relationships that shape us, even when they don’t endure. As we move through the film’s restrained performances, poetic pacing, and visual storytelling, Raff and I reflect on our own interpretations and emotional responses, discussing how Past Lives lingers with viewers long after the credits roll. Whether you’ve seen the film or are simply curious about its resonance, this episode invites you into a nuanced, heartfelt dialogue.
