LLB: Midsommar
August 21, 2020Who’s up for a little Norwegian folk horror? This week’s episode delves into director Ari Aster’s Midsommar, a more unsettling follow-up to Aster’s already pretty frigging unsettling Hereditary. While the two movies aren’t tied together by story, both highlight Aster’s rising influence as an auteur horror filmmaker. Fortunately, we have the talented Rob Savage — director of 2020’s most captivating horror movie, Host — on hand to talk about Aster’s work, how one delineates horror from not-horror and, of course, to help us put this one in its proper place.
