Description
The director acknowledges that her film Aftersun is "an expression of her grief" based on her relationship with her father, who disappeared when she was a teenager. A haunting film. Winner of the Cannes Critics' Week, multi-award winning at the Deauville American Film Festival, surprise nomination for the Oscar for best actor, won last Tuesday by his Irish revelation Paul Mescal , just 26 years old. A deceptively simple account of vacations in Turkey in the early 1990s of Calum, a precocious single father, and Sophie, his 11-year-old daughter, Aftersunemerged without warning in this awards season, dazzling with its delicacy, its ability to stay as close as possible to the inexpressible of feelings without providing a definitive interpretation.
