    A black-and-white silent film from the 1920s, the content is a novel about witches in the Middle Ages. Both the props and the styling are too pioneering. The stills of the devil image in the film were directly used by the famous Nordic black and gold band "Murder". The cover of the...

    [Documentary in the Age of Silent Films/8.2] It is interesting to see the reasons for the witches in the 20th century presented in this way. The visual presentation of the thesis works is both popular and interesting. When humans can't explain a thing, they always turn to mysticism and witchcraft legends. Occultism is also a former "science", which is worth exploring. The picture tinting is beautiful. (Witches and demons are always accompanied, and babies and sex, I love...

    Although it was originally intended to be a popular science film, the advanced scene and lens design still provided enough surprises. The analysis and comparison of the past and the present in the last part achieved the effect of sublimating the whole film. 7.7...

    9. There is no need to say about the level of the director. Overlaying, exposure, close-ups, pseudo-documentary forms, a large number of cult-like scenes, avant-garde and avant-garde, use an anti-superstition method to show the mystery, but it enhances the cult flavor of the film. Unintentionally inserting...

    "The Witch"-a victim of faith in the past

    It seems that the earlier the film is, the more handy it is to play with montage art. The filming method of the film is absolutely eye-catching. In addition to allowing the imagination in the brain to be presented to the audience in an overlapping manner on the screen, there are even fast-reversed...

    Transfer from NGA Introduction

    One of the most fascinating works in the history of cinema is Christensen's visually stunning study of witchcraft, a blend of fictionalized vignettes and nonfiction texts exploring medieval sorcery practice. Frequently evoking paintings by Bosch, Häxan conveys a sense of dark emotion let loose on a...

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.
