Classic Movies Live – Season 5, Episode 4: Past Lives
February 21, 2024
This week on Classic Movies Live!, our hosts talk about this year’s Oscars’ Canadian connection! From Korean-Candian director Celine Song, Past Lives is an unconventional almost-romance about missed connections, messy relationships, and uncertain futures. Greta Lee, Teo Yoo, and John Magaro star in this widely-lauded debut which nabbed Song Oscar nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Picture.
Past Lives is a film that demands context, and evokes questions of the nature of relationships. It’s not enough to ask what our hosts thought of the movie, but instead what the movie brought up in our hosts. Tune in this week as Pierre and Jeff discuss relationships, In-yun, Canada, and Ryan Gosling!
If you’d like to hear our hosts talk a little more about Past Lives, check out this recent episode of Contra Zoom Pod, featuring Pierre and Jeff discussing the movie as well as Poor Things, The Holdovers, and American Fiction!
