Seán CostelloWatched Charlotte Wells’s beautiful, heartbreaking Aftersun. Wonderful performances by Paul Mescal and Frankie Corio. #Aftersun #CharlotteWelles #Mubi
Still thinking about Aftersun, several days on from seeing it. What at first appears to be a modest slice-of-life story turns out to be a profound meditation on memory, love and loss. It brings to mind this quote by Roger Ebert: “The movies are like a machine that generates empathy… That, to me, is the most noble thing that good movies can do.” #Aftersun #RogerEbert #movies
KimC@seanjcostello I saw it before xmas and I am still thinking about it most days - absolutely beautiful #AftersunMovie
@Chatterbox Yes, already looking forward to a rewatch.
@seanjcostello me too - I saw it first time in the cinema but about to get a Mubi subscription purely to watch it again
@Chatterbox Some other great films from 2022 on there too, like Petite Maman and Parallel Mothers.
@seanjcostello that might mean I can’t stick to the free trial again… !
@Chatterbox I think there’s an offer on at the moment where you can get three months for a quid.
@seanjcostello yes found it and after Aftersun already sidetracked by already sidetracked by Decision to Leave. I may never get out of the house again!
@Chatterbox Oh, haven’t got to that one yet but have heard good things.
@seanjcostello I enjoyed it - definitely worth a look
