Film studio A24 and IMAX are celebrating the summer solstice with a seasonal treat. The movie Midsommar: The Director’s Cut will grace the giant screen for a limited time starting June 20.
That means you can suffer through Dani’s (Florence Pugh) mental health issues on the size of an eight-story building. It also means you might be able to finally spot all the hidden images director Ari Aster scattered throughout the movie.
The Director’s Cut is almost three hours long — about 20 minutes longer than the theatrical cut. It contains a lot more character development, visual cues, and a longer look at the brutal rituals. Whether your bladder can last as long as an ättestupa ceremony is up to you.
From an A24 press release:
A24 and IMAX announce the next three A24 films that will be available in the IMAX Experience® for its monthly screening series:
- Ari Aster’s Midsommar (The Director’s Cut) on Thursday, June 20
