HÄXAN: WITCHCRAFT THROUGH THE AGE
dir. Benjamin Christensen
SE, 1922, 91’
Grave robbing, torture, possessed nuns, and a satanic Sabbath: Christensen’s legendary film uses a series of dramatic vignettes to explore the scientific hypothesis that the witches of the Middle Ages suffered from the same ills as modern psychiatric patients.
