    A silent film about medieval witch and devil culture. Get a lot of interesting cold knowledge. Witch's Sabbath, kissing the devil's ass is fun. And those terrifying Inquisitions, all kinds of terrifying and perverted torture instruments, make people shudder at the dark and dark Middle Ages. The film claims that 8 million women, men and children were executed in the name of...

    3.5 A popular science documentary about hysteria, with a rigorous structure. Too many line cards, great for close-ups. Several scenes, such as giving birth to the son of a demon, and several religious tortures are very cult. Repaired super...

    Documentary about medieval witches. It's very funny, and the theme is a bit Foucault's meaning: in the Middle Ages religions "persecuted" people in the name of witches, and in modern times, they use law and...

    Witch textbook

    The black-and-white silent film of 1922 told an interesting topic, and it seems that there are still not many such subjects. Although the description of witches is terrible, this old movie looks more like a light comedy from current eyes, with many fantasy scenes such as the old witch who cooks...

    Extremely rigorous is a kind of humor

    It is much better than I thought. It may be the best silent film I have ever watched. The carnival paragraphs of the third and fourth chapters can be taken even 100 years later. The heretical tribunal paragraphs as the highlight is more refined than the same type of Dreyer movies. Compare the first...

Häxan quotes

  • Title Card: Poor little hysterical witch! In the middle ages you were in conflict with the church. Now it is with the law.

  • Title Card: Centuries have passed and the Almighty of medieval times no longer sits in his tenth sphere.

    Title Card: We no longer sit in church staring terrified at the frescoes of the devils.

    Title Card: The witch no longer flies away on her broom over the rooftops.

    Title Card: But isn't superstition still rampant among us?

    Title Card: Is there an obvious difference between the sorceress and her customer then and now?

    Title Card: We no longer burn our old and poor. But do they not often suffer bitterly?

    Title Card: And the little woman, whom we call hysterical, alone and unhappy, isn't she still a riddle for us?

    Title Card: Nowadays we detain the unhappy in a mental institution or - if she is wealthy - in a modern clinic.

    Title Card: And then we will console ourselves with the notion that the mildly temperate shower of the clinic has replaced the barbaric methods of medieval times.
