MIDSOMMAR Goes Through a Glass, Darkly

by Jan Bottiglieri

One of the earliest of Midsommar’s many arresting images is our gods’-eye view of the car carrying the five main protagonists as it slowly begins to invert. The perspective pauses a bit while the car continues in a frame that is completely upside down; gradually, it rights itself as the car crosses the boundary into Hälsingland, to the commune at Härga, where the film’s trippiest events take place. Though Hälsingland is a real region in the actual country of Sweden, the sequence sends a clear message that we’ve left the world we know for a much different reality. We’ve stepped through the looking glass—or, to quote another relevant modern folk tale: We’re not in Kansas anymore.
