Director Charlotte Wells's first film, Aftersun, swept Cannes—and for good reason.
, the directorial debut from Scottish, New York-based director Charlotte Wells, is an intimate film bound more by fragments than a clear-cut narrative. The story centers a young, single father named Calum and his daughter Sophie’s Turkish vacation circa the 1990s—which Sophie reflects upon in her adult years, 20 years on.
Speaking of actors, what qualities were you looking for when casting Sophie and Calum? And how did you land on Paul Mescal and Francesca Corio? [Sophie] was written on the page as this kid who feels more comfortable in a world with adults than kids, who’s got a bit of an attitude and is goofy. She was really silly, surprising, and could act, which astounded us when we first met her. She was such a wonderful surprise in that room in Glasgow in February of last year. So much of it was about the rapport Sophie and Paul built. They just had a couple of weeks together before we shot and built a genuine relationship and friendship.
It was tricky. There’s a version of this film that could have just been the holiday, and that version was, at times, tempting to make. But it was not ultimately what I had to say. The process of looking back, searching, and reassessing was so interwoven. It was clear that memory was inextricable from the script.
