  • In our latest Cinema Stories video, Martin Scorsese sharing his admiration and respect for Ari Aster's debut feature, Hereditary. Speaking to Kent Jones during the 57th New York Film Festival, where The Irishman was the Opening Night selection, a busy Scorsese recalls how Hereditary stopped him in his tracks, expertly revealing a complex portrait of a family in grief while inviting comparisons to the finest horror films ever made. Watch the clip below and don’t forget to mark your calendar for the 58th New York Film Festival taking place September 17-October 11, which this year will be presented through a combination of virtual and drive-in screenings.
    A well-told story can be as absorbing and affecting shared during a live Q&A as it can be delivered on the silver screen. Launched earlier this summer, our Cinema Stories video series spotlights meaningful moments of film history, artistic influences, and personal anecdotes captured during intimate conversations with filmmakers at Film at Lincoln Center over the years.

    That Toni Collette didn't get an Oscar for this movie is disgraceful. That was one of the most intense performances I've ever seen by anyone.

      The people that vote are far too conservative. It's almost as if the academy voters from the 50's never died, and they're still voting.
      Real cutting edge movies, the most they could hope for, is just a directors nod, or a best screenplay nod. That's it.
      In most cases, the best picture usually goes to something that's safer, easier to understand, and more traditional.

    The success of this film is showing real pain. The pain these characters felt is a real pain people feel. That's the delicate dance of hyperbole. You don't have to have the events that occured in this movie happen to you to share in that deep, primordial sense of loss. The horror storytelling exists to elevate and transfer this message via the medium of horror but the story being told here, one of a family destroyed, is a genuine story. To me the greatest horror achieves this in a way no other genre or medium can

If you haven't it wouldn't resonate nor does it have to, that's the beauty of art, at its best it's very intimate and personal and occasionally that personal portrayal resonate with others. When that happens it becomes a shared experience.

    I saw Hereditary about a year ago. I was mesmerized by the slow burn of the film. The intensity grew with each passing scene. I love how the family was being controlled,to some degree, without them having a conscious idea if it. I never liked horror films because they seem more comical for some of their ridiculous nature than scary to me. But this movie gave me the chills.

    I second Scorcese's admiration for this film. When Toni Colette yells at her son at the dinner table..... I got goosebumps from watching that. And the son? WOW "what about you mom?" and the look of rage on Colette's face??!!! her whole face became an acting zone. I don't even want to know where the actress went to get that feeling. SCARY. Rarely have I seen a horror movie so well acted apart from "lights out".... or Insiduous. One common denominator is the acting level that is off the charts good for all 3. In fact, The chemistry between family members is just ....beautifully tragic.

    I saw this on Halloween over at a friend's house this year. They put it in the DVD player and after five minutes I thought, "Great, some modern overwrought gory nonsense. After about thirty minutes I found myself as invested in the characters as I'd ever been while watching a movie. By the third act I was pretty sure this thing was at frightening as "The Exorcist" or "Rosemary's Baby." I still haven't totally recovered. This is the most terrifying (or maybe just disturbing) horror movie I've ever seen, and also the most well-constructed. It reminds me a lot of "The Innocence" with Deborah Kerr (which I know Scorsese also loved), in that it continuously forces you to focus on the background, seeing things that the characters don't see.

      I've seen it about as many times, and I've come to forget that when I first saw it, the resolution--the "explanation" for all the horror'--came as a let-down. Up to that point, it was a deep well of unexplainable familial pain that required no tidying up. However, I don't hold it against the movie. I still think it's brilliant. Midsommar, however, was a disappointment.

    Don’t come in here saying “oh, this movie wasn’t scary...” because if this isn’t scary, I don’t know what is. This is the only movie I find so unsettling that I can’t watch it again. It’s the kind of horror that sticks with you and it takes weeks to mentally “heal” from it. If you didn’t find this movie scary, I’d like to see what you consider scary then. Don’t just dismiss it as not scary; give us some examples of movies you thought were scarier. People mention Insidious, which I love, but honestly; did anyone find the demon in insidious scary during the climax when he travels to get the son? Kind of a let down actually. A lot of horror is like this, great moments and scares, but mixed with disappointment. Hereditary just builds and builds until you don’t think it can get any more horrifying and it goes 10 steps further. That being said I found Midsommar not very scary at all. Somewhat disturbing and frustrating to watch, but I don’t think he was going for straight horror with Midsommar.

It seems, though, that it's the mother (Collette) who bears the heaviest burden.

      Alien (1979) scared me to a similar degree, but this was much more disturbing..

      Did you see his next film Midsommar?

      @@batsshadow Not as disturbing imo. I feel like Hereditary was just so good it's pretty hard to match that, not just in terms of horror but the movie as a whole.

      @@xavier1752 Fascinating. For me it was the opposite. Hereditary was disturbing, but Midsommar so much so that I got nauseous while viewing. I considered leaving the theater because I thought I might vomit on the floor.
      Both were excellent.

      I recommending you to watch Rosemary's Baby since I felt Hereditary is inspired from it.

    Even watching it on a tiny plane’s monitor and gritty audio still gives me goosebumps over how good the whole movie is.
    It’s the mark of a good hit when a song still gets you moving when played on an old radio.

    Toni Collette and Florence Pugh should’ve been nominated for every single award there is for Hereditary and Midsommar respectively.
    these movies are next level!

    Most disturbing film I've ever seen. The sense of forbidding is thick.
