“Ms. Biller’s movie, like its heroine, presents a fascinating, perfectly composed, brightly colored surface. What’s underneath is marvelously dark, like love itself.” –A.O. Scott, The New York Times
“Drenched in the Technicolor 60s, Anna Biller’s outrageous, showstopping B-movie oozes with A-grade potency.” –Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
FACETS Film Trivia is back with our classic brand of infotainment quiz show fun, followed up by an after-trivia screening of Anna Biller’s tribute to 1960’s Technicolor thrillers, The Love Witch (2016) presented in partnership with Sideshow Gallery.
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.
This screening will be preceded by the short film Skate Witches (1986).
Anna Biller, USA, 2016, 120 minutes, Blu-ray
VIRTUAL FILMMAKER INTERVIEW
This screening will be followed by a pre-recorded video interview with The Love Witch director Anna Biller. It will be led by Nicola McCafferty, a PhD candidate in the department of Radio/Television/Film at Northwestern University with an interest in race, gender, sexuality, and the intersections of these identity categories with the category of the human.
