THE BIGGER PICTURE: THE LOVE WITCH

Director: ANNA BILLER

120 mins, USA, 2016, Digital, F-Rated

This month’s Bigger Picture choice is from the GALPAL Collective’s Lulit Luis who will present this dark supernatural horror comedy by US feminist writer-director Anna Biller. It’s the story of Elaine, a modern-day witch, who concocts potions in her apartment that she’ll serve up to men to get them to fall in love with her, with disastrous results. With nods to 1960s horror, the richly coloured visuals recall the splendour of technicolour melodramas, while the plot itself offers an exploration of gender roles and female fantasy, accompanied by a terrific performance from Samantha Robinson as Elaine.
