The Johnsons are an attractive, well-to-do, upper-middle class family. Sidney, husband and father, is a famous poet, known and adored for his kindness and sensitivity. Joan, wife and mother, is a dutiful housewife, an obsessive homemaker and the life of every party. Their son, Isaiah, is a charismatic young man who has just gotten married to an equally appealing young woman. In fact, the only thing that separates the Johnsons from their charming friends and neighbors: Isaiah, the son, has been molesting Sidney, the father, since he was fifteen years old. And what's more, Sidney has written a memoir that chronicles, in great detail, the ins-and-outs of this unseemly father-son. AFI - will use your email address to notify you about projects updates.

The strange thing about the johnsons watch

While Ari Aster gained mainstream fame with his two horror masterpieces, Hereditary and Midsommar , it was The Strange Thing About the Johnsons that established his penchant for the bizarre and unspeakable. Aster claims that the idea for the film came about while discussing things that you simply could not show in a film. It has since gone on to draw a lot of attention and controversy online. His father, Sidney Johnson Billy Mayo , walks into the room. As Sidney leaves the room, the camera pans to reveal that Isaiah was masturbating to a picture of his father. The manuscript chronicles the years of sexual abuse Sidney has faced at the hands of his own son.
