Paul Mescal Double Feature

Aftersun

This is a complex and tender debut feature from Scottish writerdirector Charlotte Wells. Eleven-year-old Sophie (Frankie Corio) and her father, Calum (Paul Mescal)) are on vacation in a Turkish resort, lazing by the pool, playing games, eating in the hotel buffet and enjoying being together. Terrific performances from them both! Slowly, a shadow emerges conveying that this is time remembered: it is 20 years ago before smart phones and camcorders, before grief and loss become inscribed in Sophie’s memories of her father through haunting, fragmented flashbacks that never offer a complete picture. Aftersun fascinates in its exploration of memory, with feelings of loss and love resurfacing over and again. It resonates with us all. Winner of seven British Independent Film awards including Best Picture, Winner Best First Film from New York Film Critics.

Paul Mescal nominated for Best Actor Academy Award for Aftersun
