For more context of this conversation, Ari Aster are sitting in a filming location for Eddington; in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. This interview was filmed after the production of the movie, during Ari's promotional tour of "Eddington". We discuss Eddington, Midsommar, Hereditary, Beau is Afraid, Cinematography, Score, Sound Design and more.Original interview conducted on: July 10th, 2025.
