Ah Midsommar. The wonderful day where we dance, drink and find love. Pretty flowers, pickled herring and of course ritualistic murders. It is tradition after all and where would we be without those? The director of Midsommar Ari Aster is a guy that is quickly building a brand of making off putting horror movies designed […]
I am not a theater goer by any means and I hadn’t heard of Sweet bird of youth before this. I have not even been at a play since my teens. That’s what made this event even more exciting. The first key of being able to enjoy a play is, to get over the initial […]

“Could changing our ideas of disgust help us embrace the environmentally sustainable foods of the future?”. This is the main idea behind a strange exhibition called the Disgusting Food Museum. A non judgemental look into foods around the world. Constantly challenging our ideas about what is edible and what gross or not. The exhibit has […]
It has become quite the thing to do reruns of old movies in the Swedish cinema scene. While the big cinemas go for reruns of old blockbusters Spegeln is going a different route. They are showing some of the smaller films such as one of the first David Lynch movies called The Elephant Man. The […]
