Humans have always yearned for romantic love despite the chaos and obstacles surrounding it. From the real-life illicit lovers Cleopatra and Mark Antony to the fictional, yet ubiquitous, ill-fated romance of Romeo and Juliet, forbidden love has permeated our social, literary, and cinematic worlds. Modern film often flips tropes of a happily-ever-after ending or more tragic fate to create nuanced stories with more emotionally-resonant outcomes for wide audiences and indie film buffs alike. We’ll watch three films, including Celine Song’s Past Lives, that complicate the timeless theme of forbidden love using various narrative devices — cultural context, stillness in pacing, surprising dialogue — to offer new theories into what one may gain after having loved and (maybe) lost. Other films may include Mira Nair’s Mississippi Masala, Wong Kar-wai’s In the Mood for Love, Ang Lee’s Brokeback Mountain, Todd Haynes’s Carol or Sam and Andy Zuchero’s Love Me.
