But wait, there's more!
Adding one more film to yesterday's witchy films of 2022 list
I will go back and edit the post, but I accidentally left out an entry for yesterday’s post on the year’s best witchy films.
She Will (2021, dir. Charlotte Colbert) This intriguing drama has just a touch of horror. The incomparable Alice Krige (who played the witch in 2020’s Gretel and Hansel) stars as a film star convalescing from cancer surgery in the Scottish countryside. Her kind young nurse (Kota Eberhardt) comforts her through her pain and distress. There’s an assortment of odd guests at the retreat, including a new age guru (Rupert Everett). Things begin to turn somewhat chaotic as the energies of the nearby forest, where witches were once burned (or so it is said), create an atmosphere of anger and revenge. The film’s central intriguing conceit subtly explores what it means to be a woman, aging past beauty and usefulness…and this is, after all, what the figure of the witch makes us consider.
