Film show: Paul Mescal shines in slow-burn indie film 'Aftersun'

ENCORE! © FRANCE 24

His performance in father-daughter arthouse movie "Aftersun" has scored Paul Mescal his first Academy Award nomination. Film critic Ben Croll tells us why the film is a bittersweet and endearing study of memory, family and 1990s package holidays.

Also, actress Annabelle Lengronne is the breakout star of "Mother and Son", a touching portrait of an Ivorian family's trajectory in France.

Director Rachid Hami brings a very personal story to the screen in "Pour la France", as he revisits the tragic accident that claimed his brother's life and asks pertinent questions about identity and duty.

Finally, we check out a colossal re-release as Jack and Rose return to the big screen in a remastered version of "Titanic", just in time for Valentine's Day.
