Strangers in a strange land: Midsommar review

It’s a cliché that a good horror movie leaves us afraid of the dark, but what if the sun never goes down?

There are two starting points when considering Belladonna of Sadness: it’s an ‘adult’ animated film, and it’s a wild psychedelic head trip.

I’m interested in how we got away from the past, and how the past still might catch us. I’m interested in history’s ghosts.
