Aftersun (12A)
We're bringing back Aftersun for two more screenings in January. The debut film by Charlotte Wells has become something of a sleeper hit, winning 7 British Independent Film Awards and topping multiple "Best Of 2022..." lists, including The Guardian and Sight and Sound. Here's another chance to see it in the cinema if you missed it first time around!
Dir. Charlotte Wells, UK / US, 2022, 96 mins. Cast. Paul Mescal, Frankie Corio, Celia Rowlson-Hall.
This heart-stopping coming-of-age tale focuses on the moving relationship between a young girl and her father. Looking back over old camera footage of a pivotal holiday some twenty years ago, Sophie reflects on the fragility of memory and key formative moments in her life. Aftersun is a masterful, melancholic debut, spotlighting a gorgeously observed father & daughter relationship at its beating heart, whilst grappling with the tension between the memories of loved ones we hold, and the people that they really are. After its premiere in Cannes, Aftersun quickly became one of the most talked about films of the festival - and it is easy to see why. This delicate heartbreak of a film - an intimate story of grief, mental illness, father/daughter love and self-discovery – is a small miracle.
Please note this film contains a number of nightclub scenes with strobe lighting effects which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
