Celine Song’s 'Past Lives' is 'as auspicious a debut as one can hope to see at Sundance.'
It is a very tough thing indeed to make a film that is at once restrained and brimming with feeling, a movie that could be fairly described as both big and small. It’s a wonder, then, that a first-time filmmaker, one whose main work is in the theater, could manage that feat so impressively. That’s what, a dreamy and gently heartbreaking film that premiered here at the Sundance Film Festival on Saturday.is a very personal story.
It’s in the third portion of the film, when Nora and Hae Sung are in their 30s, that Song calmly builds toward a breathtaking emotional payoff. Nora is married, to a kindly writer named Arthur , while Hae Sung is newly out of relationship and, perhaps, back to softly pining for his friend on the other side of the world. They finally meet, for the first time since they were kids, in New York.
Song’s film is about the resignation, the acceptance of lost things, that becomes a defining part of adulthood.is also, in a subtle and poignant way, about the immigrant experience, what it is to leave one life behind—likely forever—in exchange for another.is not concerned with regret. It is instead a thoughtful, humane rumination on what may be fixed in personal history but remains fluid in the mind.
