Past Lives is a 2023 romantic drama film, marking the feature directorial debut of Celine Song. Starring Greta Lee, Teo Yoo, and John Magaro, the film tells the story of Nora and Hae Sung, two childhood friends who are separated when Nora's family emigrates from South Korea. Spanning 24 years, the narrative follows their individual journeys as they grow apart while leading different lives. Decades later, they reunite for a significant week in New York City, where they grapple with themes of destiny, love, and the life choices they've made. Touching on the immigrant experience, the story is semi-autobiographical, drawing inspiration from Song's own experiences.
The film is 1 hr 45 min long. It was nominated for many awards, including the Oscar for Best Picture and for Best Original Screenplay, and was the winner of the Independent Spirit Award for Best Feature and Best Director and many others.
