    We're back! After a few months away, Speaking Cinema officially relaunches with James McTeigue's 2005 film V for Vendetta. Listen as Adam, Anthony and Jon talk about the finer point of adaptation, wax philosophic about the state of the world... and do everything in their power to get put on a government watch list.

    In this episode of the Speaking Cinema podcast, Andrew Schwarz and Jesse Mendelsohn delve into the emotional and thematic depths of Celine Song's 'Past Lives.' They explore the intricate relationship between romance and personal growth, the cultural identity of the characters, and the film's unique storytelling techniques. The conversation highlights the emotional impact of the film, its opening scene, and the dynamics between the characters, ultimately reflecting on the broader themes of love, identity, and the human experience. The discussion also touches on the concept of In-Yun, a cultural idea that represents the connections between people across lifetimes, and how it plays a crucial role in the narrative.
