Elaine (Sarah Robinson) enchants men with her charms, consuming them by the net full. Yet this narcissistic witch reverses the traditional roles of the sexes. A feminist message in a fantastic 1960s setting.

With impressive attention to detail in set, costumes and music (including pieces by Ennio Morricone), Biller creates a decadent retro aesthetic. The Love Witch was shot on 35mm, with saturated colour used in a way that recalls Technicolor.

The filmmaker’s love of genre cinema is evident in every frame of this exuberant and decadent experience.

Anna Biller will be available for a Q&A via Sype after this screening. This film is preceded by the short film Innsmouth.
