Ari Aster’s Adventures in Moviegoing

With the indelibly disturbing nightmares HEREDITARY and MIDSOMMAR, Ari Aster has already established himself as one of twenty-first-century cinema’s most audacious auteurs. In this edition of Adventures in Moviegoing, Aster sits down to discuss the unforgettable films that have shaped his life and work. Many of his choices—including Julien Duvivier’s moody noir PANIQUE, the twisted psychological shocker LADY IN A CAGE, and Lucrecia Martel’s unnerving mystery THE HEADLESS WOMAN—quiver with the same sense of dread that runs through Aster’s own work.
