The ultimate witch is a concept that encompasses the most powerful and accomplished witch in the world. This witch possesses unparalleled magical abilities and knowledge, and is often considered the embodiment of magic itself. The ultimate witch is a master in various branches of magic, including elemental magic, potion-making, divination, enchantments, and spellcasting. They have dedicated years of study and practice to hone their craft, acquiring deep understanding and expertise in each area. Their spells and enchantments are said to be incredibly potent and effective, surpassing the capabilities of any other witch. In addition to their immense magical abilities, the ultimate witch possesses a profound understanding of the natural world and its mystical forces.

Our main character in this film is a small, eight-year-old girl named Shula. She isn’t originally named Shula. She is unnamed at first, a threat that has suddenly appeared on the horizon and dubbed a witch. No one knows where she came from, who her parents are, and she refuses to speak properly. Surly and serious, the people immediately have decided that she must only be a witch.

The girl, later named Shula, that is the uprooted, by her companions in the camp, is accused of witchcraft by a local woman who, walking from the village well with a bucket of water balanced on her head, encountered Shula in the road and collapsed before her; she claims the child has bewitched her. In August this year Zambia s Human Rights Commission stated that it was deeply concerned at the growing pattern of killing older persons on suspicion of witchcraft , and while the country s Witchcraft Act prohibits anyone from indicating any person as being a wizard or witch , this phenomenon continues today.

In addition to their immense magical abilities, the ultimate witch possesses a profound understanding of the natural world and its mystical forces. They are attuned to the cycles of the moon, the energy of the earth, and the interconnectedness of all living beings. This connection allows them to draw upon the energy of the universe and harness it for their magical workings.

I Am Not a Witch review – straight-faced satire on Zambian witchcraft casts a spell

Z ambian-born Welsh director Rungano Nyoni has delivered a pulsingly odd and strikingly original debut: a tale of dogma, prejudice and corruption in the country of her birth. It’s a strange witches brew of deadpan farce and arthouse stillness that some will find exasperating, and it’s not without its missteps; but there’s a confidence and clarity of vision that’s hard not to admire, especially for a first feature.

Events open with Shula (Maggie Mulubwa), a shy and inexpressive orphan, being accused by her fellow townspeople of witchcraft: one woman has alleged that she made her trip over while carrying a bucket of water, and a man has backed up her allegation with his own account of the girl chopping of his arm with an axe. (Said arm has miraculously reattached itself by the time he makes this claim.) A gloriously droll police officer indulges these accusations with a mix of apathy and outright disdain, but the will of the people is clear, and Shula is exiled from the town.

Shula falls into the care – though that word is used with a degree of caution – of Mr Banda (Henry BJ Phiri), a venal and desperately inept public official who spies an opportunity to make a fortune from the girl’s supposed gifts. She’s swiftly enrolled into a witch camp, a shabby conurbation on the edge of town whose occupants are, Shula aside, exclusively elderly women. Shula has a white ribbon attached to her back – the other end is attached to a large spool – and is told that if she cuts it she will become a goat. The presence of the ribbon naturally brings to mind Michael Haneke’s The White Ribbon, and there are certainly the same themes of puritanism as seen in that film, albeit expressed in a far less austere manner.

Soon Shula is being put to work, picking criminals from lineups, appearing on talk shows in full witchy get-up, and attempting to summon rain to the dried-up region. Shula does all of this grudgingly, far more sceptical of these superstitious beliefs than the adults around her – although it is notable that the general belief in witchcraft seems to be conditional, and tends to be expressed more vociferously when there’s a benefit to doing so. Many of the witches, for example, are elderly relatives who family members were keen to dispose of, and a tourist industry has built up around the camp.

There’s a seam of straight-faced satire running through I Am Not a Witch that curiously brings to mind the naturalistic farce of The Thick of It. Phiri is excellent as the officious Banda, a snake oil salesman frequently upended by his own incompetence, reminiscent of Chabuddy G in People Just Do Nothing or David Brent at his most brazen. Yet Nyoni never lets the comedy overwhelm our outrage at the treatment of Shula, especially when events take a troubling turn towards the film’s conclusion.

For all its charms, there is a languidness to Nyoni’s film that can become aggravating. Scenes that should pass by in moments outstay their welcome, and the film sometimes prioritises aesthetics over clear storytelling, with one of the film’s most crucial moments rendered difficult to understand due to a tricksy camera shot.

Still, there’s more than enough here to mark out Nyoni, whose film has been supported by Cannes’ Cinefondation Residency, as a major talent. In the staid and Eurocentric world of arthouse cinema, she looks set to be a significant new broom.

Satire, humour, eccentricity and clever dialogue evoke a range of emotions. Many scenes are bizarrely entertaining and yet ultimately the film, and the many serious themes it covers hit like a punch in the stomach.

The ultimate witch is often revered as a wise and benevolent figure, guiding and helping others in their magical journeys. They are known for their compassion, empathy, and the ability to bring balance to chaotic situations. Many seek out the ultimate witch for guidance and assistance, as they are believed to have the answers to even the most complex magical problems. Throughout history and folklore, legends and stories have been told about the ultimate witch, often portraying them as a figure of great power and wisdom. They are often depicted as the keepers of ancient knowledge and guardians of mystical artifacts. Tales of their adventures and quests to protect the balance of magic have been passed down through generations. However, the ultimate witch is also a figure of mystery and enigma. They are not always easy to find or access, as they may reside in hidden realms or dwell in remote locations. Their true identities may be shrouded in secrecy, and they may choose to interact with the world only when they deem it necessary. In conclusion, the ultimate witch is a mythical being, symbolizing the pinnacle of magical power and wisdom. They possess unrivaled abilities and knowledge, and are revered as the epitome of witchcraft. Whether existing in folklore, literature, or the imaginations of individuals, the ultimate witch remains an icon of magical prowess and intrigue..
