Bill Forsyth is a Scottish film director and writer known for Gregory’s Girl (1981), Local Hero (1983) and Comfort and Joy (1984).

He came from a generation when films targeted the whole family with certain (conservative) political ideology, rather than having separate entertainment intended for different age groups.

Her subsequent narrative debut, Saint Omer is a courtroom drama based on the case of Fabienne Kabou, a French woman of Senegalese descent charged with the drowning death of her 15-month-old daughter.

The story of “Aftersun” marks the end of an experience for its two main characters, Sophie (Frankie Corio) and Calum (Paul Mescal) — her childhood innocence and his ability to deflect the pressures of adulthood.
