The Love Witch loved men… to death. Anna Biller’s spectacularly stylized and spellbinding cinematic fantasy pays tribute to the Technicolor thrillers of the ‘60s, while casting its own distinctive spell in exploring genre gender politics through sex, death, and comedy. The film follows a modern-day sorceress, whose powers to make men fall in love with her will drive her to the brink of insanity. Samantha Robinson is completely mesmerizing in the lead role; she plays Abigail Folger in Tarantino’s upcoming Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. Biller spent years crafting a monumental work of art – writing, directing, editing, scoring, and creating the incredible costumes, wardrobe, paintings and props. It’s strikingly detailed and visually stunning, vividly recalling a filmic time and place while simultaneously creating something wholly unique. The Love Witch was shot and edited on film and is an absolute must-see projected in 35mm!
