Aftersun, dir. Charlotte Wells, UK / USA 2022, 98 min., English & Turkish with English subtitles


Sophie and her dad Calum are on holiday in Turkey in the late 1990s. Despite a rough start (such as Calum’s broken arm and a room with a double bed rather than twins), it should be bliss – the Macarena is blaring, the warm air is filled with the smell of sunscreen and Sophie is capturing it all on her mini-DV cam. However, cracks begin to emerge in the façade Calum is trying to maintain to give Sophie a perfect holiday.

It’s no surprise that Aftersun was one of the most talked about films at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. An exquisitely subtle, yet deeply affecting and honest depiction of mental illness and father-daughter love, it is anchored by an incredible chemistry between Mescal and Corio.
