Why watch this film?
In films like Wong Kar-wai’s In the Mood for Love, there's a palpable melancholy for a love that couldn't be, the feeling of being trapped in a past of possibilities where that romantic desire was very close to materializing. With Past Lives, the extraordinary debut from director Celine Song, something similar happens. This is the story of Nora (Greta Lee) and Hae Sung (Teo Yoo), childhood friends and first loves, who part ways when her family decides to leave South Korea and start a new life in America. Many years will pass before they reconnect through the internet, and even more time until they can see each other again. It's a bittersweet tale of lost opportunities with the passage of time and the decisions we make, leading us down different paths and experiences that shape both our identity and the possibilities of love.

The Peasants
The Peasants is an animated film by the same directors of Loving Vincent, using the same innovative technique, which could be described as "oil-painted rotoscopy". Based on the Nobel Prize-winning novel The Peasants (1904) by Władysław Reymont, it's a tale of desire and revenge told in four episodes, one for each season of the year. The story, set in Poland at the turn of the 20th century, follows a young peasant woman who wreaks havoc by marrying an older, wealthy man, whose son also desires her, despite being married. It is a powerful and bleak, although conventional tale about violence and misogyny, somewhat overshadowed by its beautiful and prodigious visual execution.
