Film
Midsommar (18)
Dir. Ari Aster, US, 2019, 141 mins. Cast. Florence Pugh, Will Poulter, Jack Reynor.
A very special treat for the summer solstice. Dani and Christian are a young couple with a relationship on the brink, but after a family tragedy keeps them together, a grieving Dani invites herself to join Christian and his friends on a trip to a once-in-a-lifetime midsummer festival in a remote Swedish village. What begins as a carefree summer holiday in a land of eternal sunlight takes a sinister turn when the insular villagers invite their guests to partake in festivities that render the pastoral paradise increasingly unnerving and viscerally disturbing. From the visionary mind of Ari Aster comes a dread-soaked cinematic fairy-tale where a world of darkness unfolds in broad daylight.
The film will be introduced by Dr Eddie Falvey, Lecturer at Arts University Plymouth, as part of the Screen Talks series, an Arts University Plymouth Knowledge Exchange project supported by Research England’s Knowledge Exchange Funding for Smaller Providers.
