Midsommar
2019 · TMDB 7.1
Directed by Ari Aster
Several friends travel to Sweden to study as anthropologists a summer festival that is held every ninety years in the remote hometown of one of them. What begins as a dream vacation in a place where the sun never sets, gradually turns into a dark nightmare as the mysterious inhabitants invite them to participate in their disturbing festive activities.
Why it matters
A grieving woman joins her boyfriend at a Swedish midsummer festival that turns sinister. Ari Aster's film bathes folk horror in daylight, making the horror all the more disorienting.
