Did anyone see this? Interesting flick, man... The production value here is amazing. Really felt like a film out of the 70s. The main actress is gorgeous.

I missed it both times it played near me. Hoping to just grab the Blu-ray if/when I can.

Same! One of the screenings in San Francisco had a Q&A with the Director I believe.

I don't know if I would drop the coin for the disc. It's Oscilliscope, so it is pretty pricey. I just rented it on Netflix disc. You can rent it on Vudu for a decent price: http://www.vudu.com/movies/#!content...The-Love-Witch

I used to be in contact with the director, Anna Biller, when I was programming our local film festival 9 or 10 years ago. She had just made her second feature, Viva, and I'd heard good things about it and wanted to show it at the festival. She said, in the nicest way possible, that it probably wouldn't go over well in Mississippi, but she sent me a copy to see what I thought. And, yeah, she was most probably right--it would probably have been a little too out there for the usual audience for our film festival. We tried to work in a midnight showing, but our venue didn't want us to do it...so we didn't.

I really wish we could have gotten Viva into the festival and gotten Anna here to talk about it. She's one of the most down-to-earth, genuinely nice filmmakers that I met during my years with the film festival. I hope that The Love Witch brings her a lot of new fans.

Here's a link to her blog:

Thanks for sharing. I really liked the film. I think it was a bit too long at 2 hours though. It should've been trimmed to 90-105 mins. I think Samantha Robinson was incredible in the role. This is honestly one of the best homage films I've ever seen.

I feel like I may have seen Viva back in the day. I don't remember though. 10 years ago I was watching so many things, it's a blur. I would definitely seek it out to watch though based on the work here.

That is a decent price. Hmmmmm

Thanks for the vudu link dex. I'll probably go that route. Amazon wants $40 for the Blu-ray! They're dreamin'!

After seeing this, I would LOVE to see more from Anna Biller. I'm still thrown off by the use of cell phones in this though (Contemporary cars for a tight budget, I can understand)

Well, it does take place in modern times...atleast that was the impression that I got. It was a bit odd though.
