Aftersun was Charlotte Wells’ feature directorial debut and became one of the most acclaimed films of 2022. It received 98 wins and 182 nominations according to IMDb’s current listing and was nominated for an Academy Award. The film was shot in Fethiye, Muğla, Turkey, and its intimate holiday setting deliberately contrasts the warmth of childhood memories with the more painful emotions visible in hindsight.
