They soon find themselves falling in love in the relative solace of a (ridiculously moody) nightclub owned by a friend of Carmen’s mother, but their time is running out as the police begin to close in. While the film will utilize “ [selected lyrics](https://variety.com/2022/artisans/news/filmmaker-benjamin-millepied-composer-nicholas-britell-carmen-movie-2022-music-dance-1235363007/)” from the opera’s libretto (sung by a choir in the original French) to underscore certain scenes, most of the score is an original by Nicholas Britell; yes, the very same composer responsible for Succession’s unskippable banger of a [theme song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77PsqaWzwG0&ab_channel=HBO). Shortly after crossing the border, Carmen’s group becomes embroiled in a deadly encounter with a guard and his partner, Aidan (Mescal), which ends in Carmen and Aidan escaping together. Carmen (Barrera) is a young refugee forced to flee her home in the Mexican desert after the brutal murder of her mother (which, based on the trailer, seems to occur mid-dance).

Paul Mescal smolders while he dances his heart out in the Carmen trailer from director and choreographer Benjamin Millepied.
“Carmen follows a young and fiercely independent woman who is forced to flee her home in the Mexican desert following the brutal murder of her mother. But you won’t see that in the Carmen trailer — you’ll have to wait to watch the movie.

“I heard it was your birthday.” It’s a little muffled before we more clearly hear Rodrigo again and can see the video on Mescal’s phone.

I completely missed the film's underlying story the first time I saw it. But the second screening floored me.
In my book he deserves all the praise coming his way – even if he’s prone to that quintessential Irish blush when faced with a compliment. I failed to connect the dots and understand that Calum’s erratic behaviour was the manifestation of a deep depression – and, much like present-day Sophie, I find myself watching clips from the film over and over, to see how I could have missed the signs. For this achievement the film’s writer and director, Charlotte Wells, has received no shortage of awards, including this year’s That’s what a good film should do: instil a change of mindset and call its audience to action. Wells loosely based Aftersun on her experience of going on a similar trip. Bowie’s line “This is our last dance” has a tragic meaning that says all that’s needed to end the film. Present-day Sophie reaches out to the memory of her father, craving one last embrace from a time she was unaware would be so significant. Land them he does – but subtly, doing just enough to get the message across while “keeping the audience on the edge of what they’re encountering”. “I’ve got three or four moments when I get to let the audience in,” Mescal It was a shock when I grasped the masked truth of its ending. Paired with grainy, saturated cinematography, the effect is to make you feel as if you’re experiencing a hazy memory alongside Sophie. It’s the eve of Calum’s 31st birthday, but people often mistake him for Sophie’s older brother, which leads to an intimate father-daughter dynamic rarely seen on screen.
