Description

Special Engagement - One Week Only. Must End Dec. 8. Don't Miss!

"Extravagantly fulfills the filmmaker's intention to create 'visual pleasure for women.'" -The Wall Street Journal

"Biller shot it, ravishingly, on 35mm and furnished every frame with uncanny precision; the result really could pass as a relic of the era. That it's quite funny and charming seems almost beside the point." -Calum Marsh, The Village Voice

"At once hilarious and grotesque, with awe-inspiring costume and set designs... Biller’s vision is less nostalgic throwback than genre-recalibration, putting a woman in a position of power as a perpetrator of violence against men." -Craig Hubert, Art Info

Elaine, a beautiful young witch, is determined to find a man to love her. In her gothic Victorian apartment she makes spells and potions, and then picks up men and seduces them. However, her spells work too well, leaving her with a string of hapless victims. When she finally meets the man of her dreams, her desperation to be loved will drive her to the brink of insanity and murder.

With a visual style that pays tribute to Technicolor thrillers of the '60s, THE LOVE WITCH explores female fantasy and the repercussions of pathological narcissism in writer-director-editor-set designer Ann Biller’s eye-popping tribute to 1960s pulp novels and film melodramas.
