Abstract
There will be a diagram about the movie Midsommar, in the general structure of the text, which shows the horror and the rituals of sacrifices, behind the beautiful world of the Harga people, who have a mythological character in the modern world. In particular, we will combine Bataille's understanding of sacrifice and eroticism with the theme, to bring the general structure into pieces to arrive at a distinct view. In the interpretation based on the phenomenon of death, betrayal, hatred, and life, the cathartic laughter that emerged as a last face of death is the basis of the following questions, especially when examining the horrors that people face in the order of death and life; Is life touching to the sacred? Is there a necessity for an absolute relationship with death to affirm life? How do the rituals connect life and death? How laughing in front of the death, providing us in welcoming death-righteousness?

Abstract
Modern dünya içinde mitolojik bir karakter taşıyan Harga halkının güzel dünyasının ardında görülen dehşeti ve kurban ritüellerini gösteren Midsommar(Ritüel) filminin inceleneceği metinde öncelikle filmin genel yapısına dair bir şema çizilecektir. Ardından özellikle Bataille’ın kurban ve erotizm anlayışları genel yapının parçalara ayrılarak bir düzleme kavuşması adına temayla birleştirilecektir. Ölüm, ihanet, nefret ve yaşam olgusunun temel alındığı yorumlamada son bir düzlem olarak ölüm karşısında açığa çıkan kathartik gülme ediminin işlevselliği tartışılacaktır. Özellikle sonuca gelirken kurban etme, ölüm ve yaşam düzleminde insanın yüz yüze kaldığı dehşet irdelenirken şu sorular temellendirilecektir; Yaşam kutsalın yakınında mıdır? Yaşamı olumlamak için ölümle mutlak bir münasebet mi gereklidir? Ritüeller yaşam ve ölüm arasında nasıl bir bağlantı kurmaktadır? Ölüm karşısında gülmek ölüme-doğruluğumuzun kabulünde bize nasıl bir yol sunmaktadır?
