9/21/2023 0 Comments Love witch![]() The visual fantasy was mainly based on kind of like personal ideas, my fantasies about what a witch is. My creation of Elaine as a witch was based not on my research. What are the differences between the preconceived notion of witches and the one you discovered and later embraced? The typical ideology of a witch is all black, secretive but the world of witches here is very open: her apartment is bright and inviting, there’s an apothecary in the center of town. You spent an ample amount of time studying witchcraft to prepare for the film. Very strong, creative, raising a family, being able to do it all. I've been very influenced by that, by seeing my mother be not just glamorous but also just like a great business woman. My mom was always, she was like a movie star. At a time when a lot of people's mom's were not glamorous and they were actually feminists and fighting against that or else they were just not interested in glamour. And she's just like a great beauty and she's very glamorous and I've always admired her for that. She has a store where she buys things now but she's known for her great taste and everything. She's a fashion person, she's on the cutting edge of fashion in a way but she kind of stopped designing a few years ago. She's very inspired by the fashions in the classic movies like the glamour fashions and her work used to be quite whimsical but you know she does all kinds of things.

I grew up looking at his paintings and also going to a lot of museums and art galleries, dragged there with my parents. My father does all kinds of art but his paintings are very colorful and I think I got my color sense from him. Can you give us a little more insight on the art and clothing that both enjoyed and pursued? Well they're both still working. Your father was an artist and your mother was a fashion designer. We discuss with Biller the research of witchcraft, filmmaking rules and patriarchal power. No stones were unturned and it is reflected in a deeply personal film that will resonate with those who can connect to key moments. She spent hours with Samantha Robinson, the lead who perfectly carried the film as Elaine, to unlock the psyche the character holds within her. She waited to find the right cinematographer who could bring together the lush cinematography she desired that she felt was integral to the project in David Mullen. While budget constraints were a driving factor to her filling whatever role she could, there was also the drive of creating the full vision she wanted to bring to the screen. In addition to writing the script, she also produced, wrote music, did the art direction, production design and set decoration, costume design and editing. The Love Witch took years to bring into fruition. Biller juggled more hats than most people have even attempted their hands at. ![]() The Love Witch is the latest feature from auteur director Anna Biller that mixes vintage aesthetic with wry humor and very strong female sensibilities.
