A beautiful crazy chocking insane trip!

Rating: 7/10 (8 August 2019)

Watched Ari Aster's new movie Midsummer yesterday. When I saw Hereditary, I loved the few elements of unpredictability, discomfort, shyness and occultism that were in it. I know I thought it was much creepier than most horror movies, the psychological really creeps under the skin.
Maybe hard to know what to expect from a new movie by such a director (who seems to love sects btw), but I had some idea that he would experiment more with the unexpected, shock / shame and discomfort. Maybe Midsummer was not very creepy but he really creates yet another feeling of discomfort and "wtf" mood.
Sometimes there are long scenes when nothing special happens at all, but it works pretty well to build the mood for the next sick thing. In addition, a regular dinner or dance around the corn bar becomes absurd in concert with everything else, just as if nothing has happened.
I really think you either love or hate this movie but I often like odd experimental movies. The film uses camera technology and music in a way that also makes one screw up. Also love how everything gets silent during some really brutal scenes. As if the main characters are in shock. Fantastic acting and fun to see collaboration with a Swedish company.
Ari plays with scenography and props as if he were painting a surrealistic painting. The whole movie is like a long trip.
If you like movies with unexpected end then go and see Midsummer. Don't expect a classic horror movie, but expect an odd bird in the movie art character. Possibly difficult to see when you know what is happening. Best movie of the year!
Gives the 7/10.
