PAST LIVES

Korean-American intimate romantic drama (2023) Als Cine Borre if one film had to be chosen, it would be this one. Past Lives is a subdued and moving love story about two childhood friends from South Korea who are separated by emigration. Years later, their lives cross again in the US, and questions about love, choices, and missed opportunities become inevitable. With great subtlety and emotional depth, the film explores how our lives are shaped by the paths we do and do not take. An atmospheric and haunting film that invites you to linger and talk — about memories, life choices, and the invisible threads that connect people. Past Lives is melancholic, quiet, beautiful. Best film of 2023 according to De Standaard. And rightly so.
