[FILM: Häxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages, 1922]
Half lecture, half fever dream: a Danish director’s history of witchcraft and the witch trials, mixing woodcuts, staged demons and an argument that “witches” were often people who were ill. Strange, funny and genuinely creepy a century later. This is the colour-tinted version.
Watch for
- Christensen himself, playing the Devil.
