I can't quite shake the notion that the backstory here is Ari Aster went to a perfectly normal midsummer celebration, got very drunk on aquavit and hooked up with a hot blonde, and this movie is his explanation to his partner back home afterwards. "Honey, I swear, they had, like, pagan rites and fertility magic and psychedelic mushrooms and human sacrifice and pickled herring and I ONLY DID WHAT I HAD TO DO TO SURVIVE!" "Yeah, right, Ari."
