A masterpiece......only if you didn't see (The Wicker Man)!

Rating: 7/10 (19 September 2019)

After a promising job in (hereditary), Ari Aster is back with his new nightmere ; Midsommar. Here we have an astonishing scenery where greenery is everywhere and the light of midday -and midnight!- sun shines over every thing , which itself becomes a creepy and chilling thing as we go through the film. we also have the great performance of Florence Pugh who broke our hearts with her tragedy , her tears and her final confusing smile!
If every thing is such great , so what is the problem? the answer is: this is not a new film. every minute in the film is predictable. If you see the trailer you will be able to anticipate every coming shot while you are watching. You say to yourself (OK! of course some thing will happen) , and you keep waiting for a twist that never comes, then you realize the truth : this film is only a remake of The Wicker man! a good remake of course but ...no more.
The film uses the same symbols: the maypole, the flower gatherings and dancing and - certainly! - the human offerings.
If you enjoyed the wicker man , you will enjoy this ,but you will be a little bit disappointed because it adds nothing to the genre - the folk horror- except for horror in the rising sun ....and that is why I gave it 7
