Writer and director Ari Aster tells some seriously disturbing stories of deep dysfunctional families in his films, and it is almost enough to make the audience wonder what is happening to his family. After all, this is a man who made one of the most Disturbing short films there with an incest horror "A strange thing about Nsonson" and continued to make feature films almost exclusively for damaged families. In an interview with Wtf with Mark MaronAster opened up and revealed that although his family was not as unstable as those he showed on the screen, his father had strong criticism of him after his biggest flop. In fact, Aster's father told him that he might have to stop writing his own films. Uh.

The flop in question was an intentional split of Aster and The confrontation dark comedy "Beo is afraid", In which he starred Aoakin Phoenix as a titular buffalo, a middle -aged man in search of his mother's funeral. It is a dark, strange, aggressive movie that lasts only shy for three hours, so it's not a huge shock that some horror fans of Aster were not so ready to jump on the ship. While Beau is afraid of critics decent reviews, it made only about $ 12 million at the box office globally, with an estimated $ 35 million budget, which is an absolute flop by all standards. We know that Aster did not take over his father's advice because he went ahead and wrote his next film "Singleton", but how did he react to what his father told him to give up writing and just directed?

At the podcast, Aster explained that after "bio scared" badly, his father said to him, "Ah, you may not have to write the next." Aster wrote all his films and sincerely, the audience probably expected that his stories would have dividing or controversial elements. While "Hereditary" and "Midsmar" were both hits, they are also not your average horror films, and Aster's unique perspective has helped to establish it as a viewer for viewing (and Maybe the author ends?). While he says his father "may have been right", he wrote the early satire for Pandemic "Singleton" Caused even more controversy than he did with "bio." It seems that even if Aster knows that his films will not succeed in the box office, he will still do what he wants. Controversy is almost part of his brand, and the film he did not write certainly no sense of absurd danger.

Aster's mother, however, apparently stands for her son's work. He said to Maron: "She is very supportive. I mean, you know, certain things she loves more than others." It is not difficult to imagine that he might want some of his films more than others, especially given the absolutely main mothers in the center of both "hereditary" and "Bio." If I were an Aster, I might have had a mother to skip the two ...

ARI Aster's films are disturbed in some way, playing with our deepest fears and loves human beings. Aster's favorite scene in its debut feature, "hereditary", It is also far from the worst, showing the consequences of the terrible misfortune with a terrible-bearing slow discovery that is among the most inappropriate scenes in horror history. Not to be overcome, the starting sequence of Midsmar that reveals a dead family of Danny (Florence Pug) is some pretty emotionally devastating things. Aster not only tries to scare you with Gore and Death, but instead digging in human elements of sadness, guilt and loss, making every horror feeling so worse. Writing Aster, like that or not, is vital to his film work, and it is difficult to imagine separating the two.

While Singleton has only divided audience And critics and definitely did not earn Aster any points on the cashier front, he still does art that feels true to himself, and that is a kind of point of all work. There are many other directors who can direct more commercial work written by others, but please, allow Aster and other little miracles to continue to do their job. It's a cinema, baby.
