The new film Past Lives might sound like a love triangle. It's about a woman

living in New York with her husband who meets up again with a man she knew and loved long ago as a girl in South

Korea. But rather than a story about a woman choosing between two possible partners, it's really

a study of how she tries to understand both the

director Saline Song and already it's a festival favorite. I'm Linda Holmes and today we're talking

about past lives on pop culture happy hour from NPR.
