In the final moments of Midsommar, the sophomore effort from Hereditary‘s Ari Aster, Dani (played by Florence Pugh), the newly-anointed “May Queen”, watches as her unfortunate past goes up in flames. As her fairytale comes to an end, her frown turns upside down just as the credits hit.

Aster has just shared the original (and previously unseen) concept drawing for Midsommar‘s iconic final moment, which he penciled after completing his first draft.

While the costume designer filled in a lot of empty space, the drawing perfectly mirrors what Aster was able to capture on film, and through Pugh’s outstanding performance. These are the moments where you truly understand that Aster had a full vision in his head before he ever stepped foot on stage.

Preparation is key to great filmmaking. I can’t wait to see what’s next from Aster.
