Midsommar (2019) - Go Team Video (EP. 49) Is Ari Aster a master?

Spend your mid-day with the AMPM VIDEO crew as they talk Midsommar a 2019 folk horror film written and directed by Ari Aster. The film stars Florence Pugh and Jack Reynor as a dysfunctional couple who travel to Sweden with a group of friends for a midsummer festival, only to find themselves in the clutches of a sinister cult practicing Scandinavian paganism. Supporting actors include William Jackson Harper, Vilhelm Blomgren, Ellora Torchia, Archie Madekwe and Will Poulter. A co-production between the United States and Sweden, the film was initially pitched to Aster as a straightforward slasher film set among Swedish cultists.[4] While elements of the original concept remain in the final product, the  film's plot centers on a deteriorating relationship, inspired by a  difficult breakup which Aster himself experienced. The soundtrack, composed by British  electronic musician Bobby Krlic (better known as his stage name The Haxan Cloak), takes inspiration from Nordic folk music. The film was shot on location in Budapest in the summer and fall of 2018.
