Häxan Review

Review of Häxan (1922) by screenqueeen: 👍 4/5

First time watching the original 1922 version -- the longer one with the more traditional score/accompaniment recordings. There's a lot more information to get across, but it seems most of this was very informative at the time the film was released.

As much as I love the vignettes ("chapters," as Christensen calls them), the 1968 cut is a lot more to-the-point. And the aim that Christensen takes (at least in the 1922 version) is to inform and normalize views and practices of the occult.
