celine song

Hosts Mike and Kenny review and spot faith elements reflected in the Academy Award nominated film by Celine Song. Past Lives stars Greta Lee (Nora) and Teo Yoo (Hae Sung) who were childhood friends and first loves, separated suddenly when Nora's family immigrated from South Korea to Canada. The film co-stars John Magaro (Arthur) who meets and marries Nora after she moved to New York. Nora and Hae Sung reconnect via social media after 12 years. Following another 12 year gap Hae Sung travels to New York to see Nora and meets Arthur. 

Faith Reflected:

The importance of pursuing one's passion and perhaps one's life calling. Then the importance of accepting the life you have and are blessed with rather than sacrificing the life you should have for the life you had and or did not have. Mark 1:35-39  

Paul's teaching in 1st Corinthians 13 that one puts away the things of childhood when one becomes an adult. One can easily covet the past life or the life that might have been rather than accepting and embracing the life one has been blessed with.

Understanding that the persons, relationships and experience in our loved one's past life has made them the person one now loves.

¡Hola Crononautas!

Tras el pequeño parón por el nacimiento de la mini McFly, CronoCine vuelve a su estilo, con una crítica de un verdadero peliculón del ue se irá hablando más y más según avance la temporada de premios. Se trata de Vidas Pasadas (Past Lives), la impresionante opera prima de Celine Song que está  cargo del guión y la dirección.

Una película introspectiva que mira desde un prisma novedoso y original a las relaciones personales y los distintos tipos de amor, y que incita a la reflexión sobre la complejidad de nuestras emociones, y que desafía los estándares de las relaciones de pareja gracias a un guión excelente y una dirección que denota genialidad. El reparto brilla con el tría principal compuesto por Greta Lee, Teo Yoo y John Magaro, que dan vida a unos personajes que se sientes muy reales y cuya química es magnética.

Pablo Wallace, Lucía Segarra y Gonzalo McFly os ofrecen un primer bloque SIN SPOILERS en el que os daremos nuestras impresiones generales. Tras previo aviso, entraremos en más detalle acerca de la trama y de nuestras secuencias favoritas .

This week, we watch an A24 movie that has been getting very good reviews by Critics, to no ones surprise. This quiet and slow movie depicts a past relationship that never was. You can tell by the episode run time that we didn’t have much to say about it. Past Lives (2023), directed by Celine Song.

Meanwhile, Relax and enjoy your flight. 

We meet the filmmaker behind Past Lives, labelled one of the best films of the year and a frontrunner for awards seasons, plus, Alena Lodkina on her acclaimed feature Petrol.

A movie in three acts, Past Lives follows the relationship of two people across 24 years, from Korea, to NYC. It tells both a simple and a complex story, and it's our favorite film of the year (so far). Ashley & Matt review this new movie in our latest episode.

In this episode, Nate and Adam give their spoiler-free review of the highly-acclaimed new drama from writer/director Celine Song, "Past Lives", starring Greta Lee and Teo Yoo. Listen now!

Steve Prokopy joins Erik Childress to review six new movies; many of which are worth your attention. Steve handles a new teenage friendship from actress-turned-director Charlotte LeBon (Falcon Lake) and the origin story of LeBron James (Shooting Stars). Another true story gets a riveting treatment from director Tina Satter and star Sydney Sweeney (Reality) while Rob Savage uses Stephen King to try and shock scare us again (The Boogeyman). Celine Song delivers one of the more masterful big screen debuts with a “one that got away” tale (Past Lives) that could make a perfect companion piece to one of the most manically-alive animated films you have ever experienced (Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse).
