Manori Ravindran International EditorThe Paul Mescal-led “Aftersun,” which will world premiere at Critics’ Week in Cannes next month, has been picked up for sales by Charades.Directed by Charlotte Wells, the drama is billed as an intimate story about a young father and his 11-year-old daughter, Sophie, who are on holiday at a resort in Turkey in the late 1990s.
The film stars Mescal, the breakout star of “Normal People,” as the father and new talent Frankie Corio as Sophie.Here’s an official description of the film: Sophie (Corio) reflects on the shared joy and private melancholy of a holiday she took with her father (Mescal) 20 years earlier.
Memories real and imagined fill the gaps between MiniDV footage as she tries to reconcile the father she knew with the man she didn’t.
The film is produced by “Moonlight” director Barry Jenkins’ production company Pastel, which is co-founded by Adele Romanski and Mark Ceryak; as well as Unified Theory, which recently produced the Mark Rylance-led “The Outfit.”“Aftersun” marks the feature debut of Scottish writer-director Wells, who is based in New York.
