Loving the Devil: Aging and Sexuality in La Strega in Amore
A seductive journey into witchcraft, aging, and the dangerous power of female desire.
Video essay on the "The Witch" (1966) by author and academic Miranda Corcoran. Corcoran places the film within wider histories of witchcraft and witch imagery, including: Folklore and real-world witchcraft traditions, Witches as figures in popular culture, The film’s treatment of sexuality, femininity, desire, aging, and the supernatural, How those ideas illuminate Damiani’s unusual Italian Gothic film, centered on Sergio’s encounter with the mysterious Aura [Included on the Arrow Video "Gothic Fantastico - Four Italian Tales Of Terror" blu-ray box set.]
