Midsommar (2019)

A young woman with depressive tendencies accompanies her boyfriend's group of friends on a trip to Sweden for anthropological studies.

A stylized horror, with a flawless cinematography and mesmerizing visual effects. The colors and the naive art are in a continuous contrast with the horrors that are presented, pleasantly maintaining the atmosphere for about half of the film. The ending is instead disappointing and reveals the pointlessness of the entire construction. Probably the film's root idea - if one had to enunciate it - would refer to the vindictive tendencies in each of us, hidden under inhibitions with social roots and the fear of repercussions that in this case are much relieved by a few natural hallucinogens and an isolated context.
