Online Talk · Midsommar: A Weird Tale of Unconscious Ideals, with Swedish Author Carl Abrahamsson

$8 - Tickets and more info HERE

In the successful horror film Midsommar, we are taken to an idyllic Sweden and the shenanigans of a pagan cult. A group of American college students and their friend Dani (traumatized by her sister's suicide) are drawn into the cult's activities as they prepare for Midsummer Celebrations. What seems gentle and nature-loving at first soon turns into "folk" horror film mayhem, as Dani unwillingly (?) becomes the center of attention. This talk will examine the film from the perspective of Carl Jung’s Collective Unconscious, illuminating new and more complex meanings.
