@pastlivesmovie writer and director Celine Song says the bar scene near the end of the film was the hardest for her to write because it had to “accomplish everything that the movie has been driving towards.” She also reveals which line delivery surprised her the first time she heard actress Greta Lee say it. #PastLives is nominated for #BestPicture and Song is nominated for the Academy Award for Writing (Original Screenplay). The Times’ @ducassi caught up with Song at @officialsbiff where she spoke as part of the festival’s Writers Panel alongside Cord Jefferson (#AmericanFiction), Arthur Harari (#AnatomyofaFall), Josh Singer (#Maestro), Samy Burch, (#MayDecember), Tony McNamara (#PoorThings) and David Hemingson (#TheHoldovers). 🎥 @ducassi; @a24
