Talented feminist filmmaker Anna Biller doesn’t just write, direct and produce her films. She also designs all the lush sets and costumes, as well as composing much of the music. A ripe, affectionate spoof of ’70s horror exploitation flicks, her second feature, The Love Witch, slyly explores the fear of female sexuality as it tells the story of Elaine (Samantha Robinson) – an alluring young witch who sets out to use her powers to seduce a man into loving her. Alas, none of the candidates fulfil her desires.
It’s back on screen in the Watershed’s Reclaiming the Witch season.
