7) Aftersun (2022) – Charlotte Wells

Charlotte Wells' Aftersun is a poignant film on memory, loss, and father-daughter relationships. The film revolves around Sophie reflecting on a trip to a Turkish resort with her dad Calum when she returns as an adult and comes to see things in a new light. Paul Mescal and Frankie Corio, among others, are subtle in their evocative performances under Wells' intimate direction, creating a beautifully atmospheric film. Aftersun brought rave reviews and established Wells as one of the most promising new voices in cinema with a stellar personal debut.
