Hey I got here by seeing your article on Diljit’s concert via X!

Re: Past Lives

What a great write up. I remember it being a simple film however it was competing at some award events with films like Oppenheimer.

As you point out, I believe everyone has thought about how their life would be different if they had chosen a different path. This film does that without going the usual genre route, where the film starts one way and then restarts and the character chooses option b we see the results of that. It explores a new form of storytelling which in my opinion felt fresh and maybe one of the reasons the film gained so much attention.

I SO wanna watch this film now. This journal entry was a work of art, Jeevan. I think about my own in-yun a lot too. And while I was reading this, I remembered a couple people in particular. Truly, what would we be saying to each other in our future lives? Sounds like a journal prompt I'm keeping for a rainy day.
