“Past Lives,” by Korean Canadian writer and director Celine Song, is broadly autobiographical.
Before “Past Lives,” Song wrote the stage play “Endlings,” which debuted in 2019 at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with its subsequent New York run cut short by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Celine Song directs Greta Lee on location during the production of "Past Lives."
“Past Lives” eschews such visual literalism, using its romantic totems Hae Sung and Arthur instead.
Courtesy A24In “Past Lives,” the notion of “inyeon” permeates the narrative.
