SO EVOCATIVE AND EXHILARATING AND FORMIDABLE - A BREATH OF COLD, CRISP AIR IN 100 MINS. WE LOVE YOU TEO YOO ??? Past Lives is adulthood and cultural assimilation, yet fundamentally native and a homage to what could have been. But at the same time, displaying that it’s never too late for anything. The relief of reaching out to an old friend from ages ago and you are both the same as you were to each other. You both haven’t changed for the worse, it’s the same self from back then, even if you’re different to people in your new life. Your authenticity is the same, yet with new confidence, achievements and culture. Even if life and growing up takes over, the person you met when you were young still stays in your mind - that first message & first reunion in absolutely ages doesn’t just remind you of your childhood, but your heritage and who you’re fated to be.
