Midsommar

hypnotic, beautiful, a story about grief and catharsis. a modern, dark fairytale. transfixing every time. many little details within character interactions and references to art and mythology. with each watch, the horror dulls a bit for me and it becomes an exercise in heartbreak  the sun-soaked bright and clean world, crisp white clothes and colorful flora, the mesmerizing soothing soundtrack. dani’s descent into the cult. letting go of pain. disturbing for an outside audience when we imagine her ultimate fate of being trapped in a white supremacist death cult. but in a fictional sense, it’s a certain kind of relief to let it all burn away for a second
