Even though i haven't seen the movie, watched the trailer, and read some feedbacks here... I don't think I will be buying as repeat watch is very likely gonna be very low..

Reading all the comments about how beautiful this movie is, i decided to watch it tonight and make a decision whether I will want this steelbook.

What an absolutely boring movie, the amateurish directing style and just meandering scenes whereby they seriously should have a better editor, definitely a big pass for this one!!!

A waste really, of such a nice edition, with 12 replica items, for such a boring little movie no one cares for. :naughty:

They're now teasing After Yang too
Another complete snorefest, despite a sci-fi setting. That one I've seen in theaters myself. :facepalm:

I wonder if they pull a WeEt and increase the print run

Doubled it, to 2,200. :shipped:
 
Agreed, fair play to PA for championing a niche, contemplative, little indie movie.

Maybe it's my age, maybe it's being a parent, although it isn't for everyone, this film stayed with me.
Yeah, maybe being a parent really increases the emotions you get out of this. I found it deeply touching and I can easily ignore the comments about it being amateurish and boring. Luckily there are plenty of movies for these folks as well... :naughty:

I'm a father myself and it's really the fact that I also have a daughter that I also film a lot that made the ending so devastating for me. I found most of the film good without being extraordinary, but the last minutes caught me totally off guard and had an effect on me I almost never experienced before with a movie. It left me speechless and in tears, reevaluating the entirety of what I had just watched. Even just rewatching the final scene on YouTube makes me cry again, also thanks to the poignant music.
I totally get that the film won't have a tremendous impact on everyone because it depends a lot of your life experience. My brother for example, who is childless, did not understand the ending and had to watch videos on YouTube to better grasp what Charlotte Wells had in mind. I'm pretty sure that if I had watched the movie prior to being a father, it would not have moved me so much.

I'm not a father, but I do suffer from depression and anxiety, and Aftersun has the most honest portrayal of depression I’ve ever seen on film. I see a lot of my depression in the way Calum navigates the world. Not seeing yourself past 40. Empty promises that come from a good place but hurt because you can’t fulfill them. Self-loathing from seeing yourself reflected in the people closest to you. Wanting to make the people around you as happy as possible, while also trying to not show how miserable you truly are. Ruining memories by not allowing yourself to experience joy in the moment. These staples of depression are so obvious when looking back on memories, but in the moment, you don’t have that perspective.

That what makes it such a profound movie, that with really different life experiences we both managed to be seriously moved, for different reasons. All of the more powerful is that no word is explicitly put on the suffering of Calum, but when you’re old enough, even without experiencing his deep pain, you have an understanding of his difficult condition. It must be greatly amplified when you share what he's going through.

Thanks for your sharing.
