kinda made me uncomfortable. he says “yea shes great” but i don’t believe it for a goddamn second. all of his work is revolved around fucked up family shit especially with mother and son. i feel like you got to have personal experience to write something as powerful as ari does. if he truly has a good relationship with his mother thats even more impressive tho cuz how the fuck can u explore that dynamic so much so perfectly

26:25 I totally noticed this in Hereditary (on my fourth or fifth watch) that when characters aren't scared but instead in true emotional suffering the soundtrack and visual character to the movie flourishes, the best example being when the father breaks down in his car in an intersection midway through the film and the score hits a major chord in the trumpets heard in the end track of the movie "Reborn," that moment being the truest suffering in the entire movie because the father is being punished for no error of his own whatsoever. The movie really does seem to rejoice in suffering inflicted upon innocents, in that sense it truly is "evil."

What a brilliant human being, I just wanna be his friend and talk to him all the time. So fascinating, amazing film cant wait to see it again!

I'm no filmmaker. Im a 51 year old truck loader. I can grok why Mr Aster was fascinated by "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover". I wrote a paper in college about it. When it came out. I can see how Heredity was influenced by it. Both are great flicks but hard to watch. Both are mean (I mean that in a positive way), both are visually sumptuous & both are small scale stories presented in an epic way.

‘ I’d like to think that as they were suffering the movie was smiling . ‘ I think this perfectly depicted this movie, it captured the essence and ambiance of it perfectly.

To say its not "horror' is INSANE... there is literally a scene of the mother chopping off her own head and blood spewing onto the ground.. if thats not horror than what is

I think that we have a filmmaker with a clear vision, maybe the guy is just a little weird and when he talks it sounds weird. But that's because he wanna explain things in the best way possible, and I think Hereditary is a masterpiece, is atmospheric, tense, bizarre but in a good way. Family sometimes can be so dark, and we escape from that. So we hide, and we cannot see the whole thing.

@Frank DiMarco I don’t think you’re particularly intelligent

What he said about fitting the movie into the horror genre for it to be more acceptable was awesome.

The point about "the film knows what it's moving towards" is so spot on. The main reason I found the movie so fucking disturbing (other than the excruciatingly believable performances) is that I always knew in some sense what was about to go down. The movies title is the only thing you really need to put it all together from the very start. Hereditary diseases come to mind, and you understand that this is something that is going to follow this family, regardless of their own actions. You may not immediately understand the very nature of the hell that is unfolding, but you can feel the inevitableness of it from the very start. Even as soon as you've read the obituary text from the beginning. And this is such a distilled version of the epic impact a great horror movie can elicit. At least to me. I wouldn't classify the movie as horror though. Terror seems far more fitting.

Among the best horror films I've ever seen. The fascinating thing to me is, the film doesn't cover "new" themes, in a way that's become impossible in horror. But, it presents these ideas in such original ways, the film is totally unique.

Great interviewer, I might add. Great questions, and a great understanding of the audience's questions for the subject.

The interviewer sounds traumatized

Hereditary is a FUCKING MASTERPIECE. The score, the leitmotif color pallettes, the direction and cinematography, the acting. Everything is brilliant. It's replaced the Blackcoat's Daughter as my favorite horror film. This film I felt addressed a lot of important philosophical questions as well, especially reality vs. representation, personal responsibility and accountability, the limits of subjectivity at the boundary of collective enterprise, and the supernatural hermeneutic vs. the psychological (could it all be in Annie's head while building her little miniatures?), etc. Or she's just fucking nuts with DID and Schizophrenia. Your films are so realistic in execution, but they still leave a lot of room for theoretical ambiguity and hermeneutical license.

When you say literally, you mean figuratively.

This is probably my favorite horror, suspense, drama and maybe my favorite film ever. I've watched this four or five times and it only gets better with each viewing. Dialogue is spectacular and the actors all do fantastic.

interviewer looks like a character from one of his movies

The movie speaks about the trauma that mental health and bipolar disorder can create within a family, and also about the fear to speak about it out of the family circle. Literature refers that "hell" is living in madness, and around ancient communities there is a common knowledge that insanity is a somewhat work of the devil. I figure that the director has had some kind of relation to one of these issues but he is not comfortable enough to adress the topic during the interview. The movie is very powerful.

Also the strange thing about the Johnsons....fucking blew my mind. Insane how uncomfortable it was ...but shows how genius ari is...

Thank god someone mentioned the score UGH amazing

Seen this movie 5 times its fucking Brilliant. Equally strong as a dark family drama, and a horror/thriller.

The interviewer asked very good questions.

I really love the influence from the film “IN THE BEDROOM”. That film really stuck with me as well. I feel the similarity between Franks death scene from ITBR. It shook me to the core. Charlie’s death comes a close second! And to see how her death brings to the surface an already fractured family dynamic is just amazing! I am so impressed with this director!!! Can’t wait to see his next film.

Can’t wait for midsommar it’s supposedly about a break up and it’s gonna unfold like hereditary, as per Ari’s words he said devolve into something more sinister, with a weird Swedish cult or something but he also said there are no supernatural elements and instead a generous amount of psychedelia. He also said this will be his last movie for a long time in the somewhat horror/thriller/drama genre :(

His films stick with me for a long time and so many others so I get it! I truly do! He’s an absolute genius and he gets the horror genre so well!

What a brilliant and humble guy ...

great interview

Honesty and modesty has proven to work and get you miles ahead in this world Ari is a perfect example of this!

I think this one of the most incredible movies I've ever seen I truly believe ari aster is the most unique and talented man when it comes to the horror genre.

he fascinates me, his work, what he can come up with, he is a genius.

I feel so bad for him here. You can tell he’s hella uncomfortable, like he’s punching the words out of his mouth. Anyway, Hereditary changed my life and is one of my favorite films of all time, of any genre. No other film has “not let me off the hook” or bothered me more, in the best way.

man i love this dude he sounds like david cross but i love this dude

Absolutely shat myself at this film.

Totally unique...but there were influences of Rosemary's baby and Fallen (denzel washington) in it.

I wish there was a prequel to hereditary. How ellen becomes queen and how she tried to use her son as the vesael for pagan and how and why ellen's husband committed suicide. And then cut to ellen being pushed away from having any contact with peter the first born son of annie and when charlie is born cut to next scence where ellen is breast feeding her grandchild charlie cut scene zooming out of baby closeup sucking nipple as ellen slowly looks up to camera with an evil grin then black screen with director name.

And yeah definitely the use of sound to drive home the ultimate destiny of the characters. Many hoof noises, war drum sounds, etc. I'll try not to spoil why for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Ari reminds me soo much of Sebastian Vettel, the F1 driver :)

Bill is such a boss interviewer. 🙌🏼

Ari saying he wanted us to resent the movie is perfect. i hated hereditary for 2 years for what it made me feel and now i can appreciate it as one of the best horror movies ever (and my favorite)

@PYMGUS

SoundCzech the cult just dug it up at night and put it in the attic. The dad we see takes pills to help him sleep, the mom is sleepwalking, Peter is too busy having nightmares and Charlie is basically housing Paimon so she probably knew, but it’s pretty understanding and somewhat straight forward. Paimon was known as the god of mischief and since he influenced the family throughout the movie, he most certainly knew what each one of them was thinking. It’s also worth to note he has knowledge on future and past events so he tricked Annie into throwing the book into the fire thinking it was her that was going to go up in flames but in actuality it is not her choice to make who lives and who dies.

If he could articulate himself clearly with words he probably wouldn't be as good at making movies or bother making them at all. There is a language older than words and those who dabble with it do so because words fail.

the only flaw in this movie, was the music,( sorry mr Stetson ) it's the typical angst textured score you know will be in all horror movie, it's really déja - vu ( like the crescendo sound stopping sharp when the "evil" element disappear from the screen)- it's so annoying because here the story is so solid, and the cinematography is so on point and full of inventions, that we didn't need more tension with this cliché soundtrack, it's like eating a cake with more sugar on it, if he used lighter music, or no music at all it would have been so much scarier. a more natural, realistic way to shoot some surrealist events is the best way, i believe, to achieve tension and get some huge scary moments. A good recent example of great use and invention in a score is what Mica levi done for the movie "Under the skin"
