About this listen
In this episode, we explore Past Lives, the tender A24 film that delves into the fascinating concept of InYun—the belief that the threads of connection between people stretch across lifetimes.
We unpack how identity, longing, and the notion of soulmates shape the characters’ journeys, and why this story resonates so deeply with anyone who’s ever wondered about the paths not taken. Join us as we explore love, fate, and the invisible ties that pull us across time.
Pairing this film with Clean Slate Riesling from Mosel, Germany felt like a natural choice.
This crisp wine brings bright acidity with a touch of sweetness - reflecting the film’s emotional contrasts. Its clean refreshing profile mirrors Nora’s pull between past and present, while its subtle fruit notes add a gentle nostalgia. It’s a fitting match for a story defined by longing and unspoken connections.
And just for fun, Emily decided to surprise everyone with a second beverage: a Blueberry Soju, as a nod to the Korean roots at the heart of the film.
Light, juicy, and (dangerously) smooth, it went down a little too easily, adding a playful twist to an episode filled with reflection, emotion, and perhaps a touch of fate?
