⚘ Welcome! Välkommen ⚘

Welcome to Reflections on Midsommar, a place where I take delight in all of the amazing details in the movie Midsommar. My name's Kirby and I really love the magic, beauty, and horror of this movie. This blog contains spoilers so don't look if you haven't seen it!

Here are some current topics I'm working on:

Meet the Hårgans: Trying to match names to faces, with an introduction to each individual member of the Hårga, including key scenes they appear in and any fun facts I've been able to figure out about the characters.

Artwork in the Movie: Some of the works of art that appear in and are referenced by Midsommar

Behind the Scenes: found images and interviews with the cast and crew

Fan Art: Inspired by the movie, created by artists

Discovering Details: WOW does this movie ever have the most exquisite details! From the embroidered runes to foreshadowing to connections and relationships. No detail is too tiny to mention here.

Theories: What's the deal with Inga? Was Pelle responsible for the deaths of Dani's family? Who was last year's May Queen?

If you have any of your own reflections on Midsommar you'd like to submit or share, you are invited to leave a comment here or on Instagram at @mid.sommary, or email midsommary@gmail.com

Also, I am just a fan and I do not have any insider knowledge. I watched the movie, scoured Instagram, and checked out every interview I could find. If there are any mistakes here, they are all mine, and I would be very happy if you let me know if I got anything wrong. Thank you!!!

⚘ MEET THE HÅRGANS: IRMA ⚘ RIP ANKI LARSSON

 Sad news today, Anki Larsson, who performed the role of Irma in Midsommar, has passed away at the age of 67. https://www.tellerreport.com/life/2021-08-30-%22saltön%22-actor-anki-larsson-dead.ByUimqZ5Zt.html

Here is Irma

Irma is best known in the movie for her direction and narration of the May Queen dance. She is also a leader of the Hårgas and seems like a bit of a busybody, pretending to dry a dish in order to eavesdrop, and peeking at Christian through the slats of the chicken coop.

Irma is performed by Anki Larsson (Rest In Peace)

I encourage you to add your own comments here about this character (including any corrections to mistakes I may have made) or any parts of Midsommar you would like to discuss
