Midsommar feels like a twisted fairytale with its vibrant color scheme and sense of whimsy. When the movie transitions from America to Sweden,Ari Astershifts the entire tone of the movie and takes the audience on an otherworldly journey. This change bears huge similarities to another classic tale of being transported to an unknown land, The Wizard of Oz. However, this comparison is more than just coincidence. In fact, Aster added hidden details to prove that Midsommar is a direct retelling of the MGM classic.
