"Somatsu Cinema" is a YouTube program by film critics Tomoo Soeno and Takeo Matsuzaki! This YouTube version of the TV program will bring you recommended new movies and streaming information! This time... We will introduce "Past Lives / Reunion" which will be released on Friday, April 5th! The world is sympathetic and acclaimed! A sad adult love story. This is an American-Korean co-production adult love story about two childhood friends who were separated due to emigration overseas, and who reunite in New York after 24 years for seven days. The keyword of the story is the Korean word "fate" (inyeong). When you pass a stranger, your sleeves touch by chance because there was a "fate" between the two of you in your past life (PAST LIVES). The many "what ifs" that the characters think about overlap with the choices made at "that time" in the life of each audience member, stirring up memories of "unforgettable love". And at the end, your heart will beat faster and your tears will flow endlessly at the miracle and transience of meeting your soulmate in this world. The two who fell in love for the first time meet again in New York 24 years later. Nora, a 12-year-old girl living in Seoul, and Hye-sung, a boy, were in love with each other, but they were separated when Nora moved overseas. 12 years later, at the age of 24, the two, who were living their own lives in New York and Seoul, reunite online, but they miss each other again, even though they still care for each other. Then, 12 years later, at the age of 36, Nora has married Arthur, a writer. Hye-sung, despite knowing this, visits New York to see Nora. The two finally meet for the first time in 24 years, and the seven days of their reunion. What will the fate of the two choose? Celine Song, who is making her feature film directorial debut, wrote an original script based on her own experience of moving overseas with her family at the age of 12, and directed the film. The role of Nora will be played by Greta Lee, known for her roles in the Netflix drama series "Russian Doll" and "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse," in which she participated as a voice actor. The role of Hye-sung will be played by Yoo Teo-oh, who has appeared in "Leto" and "Vertigo." The film will be entered in the competition section of the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival in 2023. It was nominated for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay at the 96th Academy Awards.
