Aftersun
directed by Charlotte Wells, UK / USA 2022, 96’ (English friendly)
- Black horse of the film awards season, hailed by critics as one of the best films of the past year! A tender, funny, touching and poignant film produced by Oscar-winning filmmaker Barry Jenkins (Moonlight) with outstanding performances by Paul Mescal (Normal People, The Lost Daughter) and stunning young actress Frankie Corio, debuting on the big screen.
- The personal story of a father and his teenage daughter’s holiday trip to Turkey is like a page from the director’s diary, turned into one of the most beautiful portraits of parenthood in contemporary cinema. Wells has created her film out of impressions and fleeting emotions, telling the story of a father-daughter relationship building, of adolescence and happiness. Huge credit for this goes to Paul Mescal and Frankie Corio, who have created one of the most extraordinary father-daughter duos in the history of cinema. Director Charlotte Wells touches our deepest emotions.
