THE LOVE WITCH: Women In Film Fest @ FOMO Cinema
Friday 27. March at 21:00 - 23:00
FOMO Secret Cinema, Tbilisi
Anna Biller | 2016 | USA | 2h0m | English language with English subtitles
Anna Biller’s THE LOVE WITCH reconstructs the visual and thematic language of 1960s and 1970s exploitation cinema through a meticulously controlled aesthetic. Following a modern-day witch navigating desire, fantasy, and romantic expectation, the film operates simultaneously as homage and critique, foregrounding artifice as a central organising principle.
Through stylised performances and carefully composed mise-en-scène, Biller examines the relationship between femininity, performance, and power. The film’s surface beauty conceals a more complex engagement with the structures that shape romantic and sexual identity, allowing genre conventions to become sites of reflection rather than simple reproduction.
Within the context of Women in Film Week, THE LOVE WITCH occupies a position that is both playful and analytical. It engages directly with the history of female representation in cinema, reworking familiar images into something self-aware and deliberately constructed. Its inclusion reflects an interest in how visual style can itself become a form of commentary.
