3. The Love Witch
Beautifully photographed and styled within an inch of its existence, Diva director Anna Biller's 2016 indie hit The Love Witch is filmed as a pitch perfect recreation of grind house cheapo flicks from the seventies but the film is no Tarantino style pastiche.
Instead, Biller’s immersive, mesmerizing seventies period piece is an insightful and challenging slice of cult horror wherein the generic trappings are used to provide cutting commentary on gender roles within the genre, film at large, and society itself.
Following the titular enchantress through a series of violent attempts at courtship, this blackly comic throwback asks what the world expects of men and women and how they're told to perform for one another in the guise of a stylish and unsettling slice of horror.
