- While she was in town, writer-director Anna Biller visited us to talk about her love for French director Jacques Demy, whose mix of candy-colored imagery and psychological darkness has made a lasting impact on her filmmaking approach.

She made a great film. I hope she keeps up making the kind of films she wants to make, because The Love Witch truly is a very promising piece of work.
Anna is amazing and an absolute inspiration to women💖
Yes!!!
This women is clearly severely underrated. She seems so talented
The love witch is my absolute favorite movie because it's so different and inspiring! I'm a witch today because of this movie.
I'm a big big fan of Jacques Demy, he's probably the last one of this true magic cinema. I happened to have seen “The Love Witch” two weeks ago, which is a rare thing for me because I haven't followed today's cinema for years. No wonder I found it so sweet and nostalgia. Yeah, this is the stuff I love!
Hi! I'm interested in magic cinema, could you please recommend some good movies?
The Love Witch is SO stunningly gorgeous, so Anna Biller inspired me to check out Donkey Skin which I watched last night. Seriously amazing film. I can't wait to see Anna's next film... so excited for more works from her :)
I've got to see this movie and Viva! I love, love, LOVE The Love Witch. Anna Biller is an absolute genius. I love what she said about having no interest in male fantasy movies and being fully invested in women's fantasies and visuals. Thank God for her!!
Never heard of this woman before but I'm suddenly eager to check out some of her work.
ANNA BILLER OMGAH PLZ DO AND BUY HER WORK OFF HER SITE
She's incredible-- I hope she makes so many more movies

Anna Biller, you are my cinephile soul mate... and I love, love, love "The Love Witch".
The Love Witch is one of my favorite movies! I really hope Anna Biller makes more of these films. We want more. Much more!
I watched the love witch 3 times in a row immediately after finding it. It's so good.
She inspires me so much. I didn't know she loved Peau d'âne so much, it's also a movie I have seen recently. I know what she means about visual pleasure for women. Both Love Witch and Peau d'âne seem to have such a complete understanding of what that means and how to accomplish it. I hope she knows all her passion and hard work just for me to have 90 minutes of fantasy, is so appreciated and NEEDED
the love witch is so amazing
When I was very young, like 4 years old, I always chose to rent the Donkey Skin movie and could watch it several times in a day. I was a big fan of the pretty dresses. I rewatched it a few years ago, with very little memory of anything but the dresses, and that was a trip hahaha! Definitively a very 70s movie. But also, such a great visual inspiration. I'm kinda mad at myself that I didn't get the visual reference of the wedding scene! of The Love Witch I gotta watch more from both Anna Biller and Jacques Demy.
She's so talented. I love her inspirations as well, amazing.
I cannot wait for a new film by Anna she is so inspirational and genius.
i saw this a few years ago. man, what a gorgeous film.
Anna Biller is a genius 💖

Anna is a wonderful filmmaker! The love witch is one of my favorite movies of the past 10 years.
Just watched the love witch for the first time. Absolutely loved it. Big fan.
A fantastic and authentic filmmaker.
Damn you can totally see how he influenced her in love witch
Viva and Love Witch are fantastic. Very talented, beautiful and super fun movies.

I was reminded of Peau D'Ane while watching The Love Witch!!!
The Love Witch is a great movie and Viva is another.

The love witch 2, please.
fun video. i've never seen any of these movies but they looks pretyy
anna's a genius
2:41 this is so me
I have no idea where to watch Jacques Demy films ):
Can't find donkey skin with English subtitles anywhere..
On TH-cam, part 1's was removed
Filmstruck, it's a streaming service for classic movies. Or you can buy the Blu-ray from Criterion.
Three years later...you can watch it now on the Criterion Channel (the streaming service for Criterion).
Well I like it
3:20 "It was like little girls and gay men's fantasies"
Dammit why do women find romance gay :(
I do.
I grew up reading the Donkey King and have always been entirely captured by the description of the dresses. I never knew their was a film.
Anna 🅱️iller plays out her influences like somebody recreating a secret fast food recipe to a T
You talkin about KFC original recipe?
@@bellmeisterful KFC's 11 Herbs & Spices, Big Mac Sauce, Burger King Foot Lettuce, you name it, she probably got all the ingredients right
She’s hypersensitive to misogyny in films and yet makes a film about a female character who essentially JUSTIFIES misogyny.
Oh, the irony…
Lol people really overthink her and her film.
Male gaze? I think that severely limits your selection of movies. The male gaze is not a bad thing there are many directors who love women and show them in the most flattering light. A big chunk of Ingmar Bergman's films feature women in all the leads and he gave those actresses the best roles of their careers. Martin Scorsese has a string of actresses that have blossomed under his direction.
Feminist criticisms.
I think by "male gaze movies" she means films which are made under the assumption that they are for male consumption and are shot in a way that pleases men primarily. Not necessarily just all movies made by men. Jaques Demy is a man, after all
The male gaze theory pinpoints the sexual objectification of women in films, devaluing their worth. Films that morph the image of women to satisfy men (the main audience). Ofcourse this is a very short description, but I hope it helps you understand about the theory a little bit.
@@83croissant Thats you softening the blow. Male Gaze means film making through a mans eyes. By men. Meaning, she lost interest in most films.
The Love Witch lacks the the originality and subtlety of Demy's work.
"Male Gace Movies" Ugh. And then she crams as much nakedness as she can into "The Love Witch", but it's totaly different because she's a woman
I think you're confusing the FACT of nudity with the ATTITUDE the movie takes of the nudity. When she undresses for the college prof, it isn't meant to titillate us. It's more about the notion of what she thinks she's SUPPOSED to do to attract a man. She's not doing it because she actually feels sexy. The inner conflict is there the whole time. I think my favorite moments are the ones where she turns all this stuff on its head, like when she literally can't stand to be in the bedroom with the whiny, needy college professor, calling him a pussy from the living room couch where she's taken refuge of him. That sequence also gets inside the contradictions even within feminist notions that men should free themselves from the prison that says to show emotion is "weak". After all, when college professor does, it's annoying af to her.
haha she doesn’t like films with the male perspective... too bad considering 96% of ppl capable of competently directing a film are men
Gross
Male gaze doesn’t mean directed by a man
Anna is overrated.
