Anna Biller Interview (THE LOVE WITCH) - Moving Radio Rewind
Description
In 2018 Christian Zyp interviewed filmmaker Anna BIller about her second feature THE LOVE WITCH. THis interview has been re-edited to give you a look back into the past of where Anna was at and how she felt about the film at the time of its theatrical release. THE LOVE WITCH was an nearly 8 year passion project for Anna and it shows in every frame of the film. In the film Elaine (Samantha Robinson), a beautiful young witch, is determined to find a man to love her. In her gothic Victorian apartment she makes spells and potions, then picks up men and seduces them. However, her spells work too well, and she ends up with a string of hapless victims. When she at last meets the man of her dreams, her desperation to be loved drives her to the brink of insanity and murder.
We discuss Anna's inspiration, her aesthetic sensibility, filming in 35 mm, why the project took so many years and more.
