The avant-garde values ​​are more amazing than the avant-garde special effects scenes. The opening documentary method popularized the historical origin of the mysterious phenomenon of witches to the audience, and then the feature film method told the story of a small town trial of witches, and finally The director only explained his point of view. The disabled and the mentally ill often fall victim to the narrow cognition of human beings. Lack of tolerance is the root of the witch...

Religious science film, medieval Europe was so keen on surreal ideas, and the cruel methods were enough to rank among the top ten tortures of the Qing Dynasty. I don’t know how much Dreyer’s Day of Revenge borrowed from this film. In music creation, the first is experimental, playful and lively, while the latter borrows a lot from classical...

The persecution of so-called witchcraft in the Middle World is a half-fiction, half-documentary. Some of the torture was...

Fear stems from ignorance. The persecution of so-called witches in the Middle Ages was precisely due to people's ignorance of the natural world. On the other hand, the absolute dominance of Christianity and its doctrine of worship of one god became an important reason for the persecution of pagans. In the film, we can also see Foucault's discipline and punishment. Power is always closely combined with punishment methods and penetrates into all aspects of social life and internalizes them as...

A film that is difficult to classify, the pseudo-documentary form tells about the "Witch Syndrome" across N generations. When it comes to modern times, it is too exaggerated to say that some mentally ill (hysterical) are modern witches, but on the other hand, there is a There is a saying that doctors and witches do not separate families. If you look at it from this perspective, his argument will be nothing. The PS stop-motion animation technology has been used very skillfully, and the...

There is on the archive. A religious documentary co-produced by Denmark and Sweden was so avant-garde in the 1920s that it was even banned at the time. The previous book lecture had the taste of the teacher holding a lecturer in class, but it was actually called "The Witch's Secret" more...

Explore the precious historical materials of medieval European religious beliefs, similar in meaning to extracurricular textbooks. At the end of the film, the similarities and differences between belief and disease are connected with modern interspersed research, and hypotheses are thrown out to cause the viewer to think more about desire and morality. The photography and post-coloring techniques are avant-garde, and there is an early animation prototype, which is...

Thesis Film, an encyclopedia of witches with evil spirits 100 years ago, was also rejected as a documentary at that time, probably because there are too many fantasy scenes in which the "witches" are reproduced, which is very wonderful and cult. Originally, Christensen was going to make a trilogy (there are also plans for feminine and Spirits), but it took three years to prepare this film alone, the investment was huge, and there were various censorship difficulties later, so this one was...

Although the composition is rigorous, it has a textbook structure and a strong religious flavor. But in my opinion, some interesting performances and imaginary light and shadow atmosphere make the whole film look like a light comedy full of absurdity and...
