The 'Normal People' heartthrob, co-star Frankie Corio and director Charlotte Wells on the relationship between their film 'Aftersun' and real life.
Paul Mescal and Frankie Corio play a father and daughter on a Turkish summer holiday in Charlotte Wells’ emotionally overwhelming first feature.
The video that young Sophie shoots of Calum with a consumer-grade camera provides yet another perspective. Immortalized via the device, these impressions — unlike human memory — remain unchanged and, in a sense, definitive. “I remember liking [the camera footage] as a factual record that offered a direct point of view from one character to another that could be then reviewed by the other,” she said.
“[She] has so much trust in the audience to recognize collective experiences that we all have via memory and to pick up on what one could argue is incredibly subtle, but ultimately it’s so honest that you are never unsure of the space the film occupies,” Romanski added. “The way she acts is a bit different than how I act. I don’t know what other people think watching it, maybe they think we act the same,” Corio said via video call. “The fact that she hung out with teenagers who were on holiday wasn’t something that I would do. I’d probably stay with my parents, but maybe things were different in the ’90s.”
“It was hard to cast that character too far away, for me to still feel the connection I needed to feel,” Wells said of Calum. “I wanted him to feel very warm and very solid in a way that Paul does both emotionally and physically.” “I appreciate the tone of memory, nostalgia and melancholy when I watch it, but when I was making it, I wasn’t focused on it. It was about the present moment being as rich as possible so that it would have the nostalgic impact of memory in the final edit,” Mescal said. “For the memory to be clear, it’s our job as actors within it to make it as alive as possible.”
