British actress Florence Pugh discusses the challenging emotional journey of portraying Dani in Ari Aster's horror film 'Midsommar'. She delves into the deep personal connection she formed with the character and the toll it took on her, highlighting the transformative nature of intense acting roles.
Midsommar as an example. In it, her character, Dani, is grappling with a horrific family tragedy in the beginning — her sister took the lives of their parents and herself — before things get worse, as she accompanies her boyfriend and his friends on a trip to a picturesque town that turns out to be the home of a cult. Shroom hallucinations, explicit sexual content, and several deaths follow.
, I definitely felt like I abused myself in the places that I got myself to go to,' the British actress said, 'which is the nature of figuring these things out is you need to go, 'All right, well, I can't do that again, cause that was too much.''Still, she's glad to have been in the Ari Aster film, which features a'dazzling glare of June-bright sunlight — a waking nightmare nestled cozily within the clapboard barns and verdant valleys of the Swedish countryside,' as writer. I also then look at that performance and I'm really proud of what I did,' Pugh said. 'And I'm proud of what came out of me. So I don't regret it.''I don't think I'd be able to do this without going all the way and putting myself in all of those characters that I've played. There's always a piece of me and there's always a moment at the end of filming where I, like, protect and defend those characters to the very end, even if they've done god awful things. I think that's only natural when you're in someone for so long.',Pugh was recognized with several accolades for the film, including nominations for the London Film Circle Award, where she was named Actress of the Year, and the National Society of Film Critics' Awards, where she came in third place for Best Actress.casting rumors, but knows 'no one's gonna trust anything I say'
