The Witches of Hollywood (2020) Synopsis
Deciphers the archetype of the witch in Hollywood cinema from the 1930s to the present day and tells, behind it, a social story of female power. The Wizard of Oz, My Beloved Witch, Suspiria, The Craft, Maleficent - The portrayal of the witch on the screen oscillates between fascination and dread. She symbolizes the woman who does not fit into the norm: too old, too eager, too learned, too sexy. Drawing on numerous excerpts, the film questions what the witch says about each era and tells, in watermark, a social story of female power, often crushed, sometimes glorified.—Ulf Kjell Gür
