Aftersun Review: Another Starkly Poetic Masterpiece From A24

The word 'nostalgia' was conceived by Johannes Hofer, a 17th-century Swiss medical student, by combining the Greek words for 'homecoming' (nostos) and 'pain' (algos). As such, it's an ambivalent state of mind, a sad warmth that envelops us with joy for something we once experienced and won't again. Popular culture is in the midst of a nostalgic boom right now, using the feeling as a marketing ploy to manipulate audiences; all the reboots and remakes attract us because they trigger our memories and younger associations.
