I discuss Ari Aster's "Midsommar" and despair. In this sense it is, in a Hannah Arendt understanding, political despair. That means that human beings do not have the ability to minimize suffering. I rage against the idea that "life is suffering" and that human beings do not have the power to minimize suffering and bring about healing.
