The Love Witch

 

“She loved men… to death.” A gorgeous throwback to ‘60s Technicolor erotic movies, Anna Biller’s tale about a love-starved, murderous witch is wicked Feminist fun. Beautiful enchantress Elaine (Robinson) uses every spell at her disposal in order to make men fall in love with her. Once entranced, however, these would-be lovers reveal themselves as wholly unappealing romantic partners. The body count rises in her luscious Gothic Victorian apartment as she disposes of her failures and pines ever more desperately for a worthy sweetheart. The Love Witch offers a stylish, fantastical examination of gender and female desire.
