Why watch?
“Like most great genre film, Midsommar can be appreciated and celebrated on multiple levels. Aster's second feature provides a visceral experience with sound and imagery vividly joining to make this one of the most unsettling (and also richly cinematic) films of the past decade. However, there's deeply raw and affecting representation of grief intermingling with the scares that helped show us all what a star Florence Pugh was going to be.”

Dani and Christian are a young American couple with a relationship on the brink of falling apart. 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 the North European 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.
This screening will be of the original theatrical version of the film.
