Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Elaine, a beautiful young witch, is determined to find a man to love her. In her gothic Victorian apartment she makes spells and potions, and 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 finally meets the man of her dreams, her desperation to be loved will drive her to the brink of insanity and murder. With a visual style that pays tribute to Technicolor thrillers of the 1970s,"The Love Witch" explores female fantasy and the repercussions of pathological narcissism. |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | While writing the script for The Love Witch, Anna Biller had been reading relationship self-help books, and one particular piece of advice that stuck out to her was that if a woman wants to keep a man around, she should love him less than he loves her. She noticed a parallel between this advice and the female characters in classic cinema who love someone to death such as Ellen in Leave Her to Heaven (1945), so she decided to created the character Elaine in the same vein.

| Goofs | Elaine performs a seductive dance for Richard, causing him to bite her rear end in a fit of lust. Before he bites her, red bite marks are already visible on her right buttock from previous takes. See more » |

Elaine:
Witchcraft is just a way of concentrating energy. It can only work with what's already there. See more » |
