Aftersun

Charlotte Wells' debut film has become a sensation and one of the best surprises of 2022. It follows the relationship between a young father and his pre-teen daughter as they vacation in a low-cost hotel in Turkey. This memory allows Wells to present a singular experience: tender, broken, melancholic, and mysterious that beautifully captures the love between a father and daughter. Aftersun is composed of a series of mundane scenes: a walk, a meal, a party, a diving lesson, and through the nuances and the way the camera captures them, the relationship is articulated in an almost tangible but also enigmatic and unresolved way. In short, an unforgettable film experience.
