Double Feature: Bell Book and Candle and The Love Witch
Witchcraft has always been associated with deviant femininity, and women (witches) have consistently been punished for that deviance from patriarchal expectation. To be a witch, to have power, is to be independent, to be self-sufficient.
Before we begin, let me just say: love magic is wrong and consent is important. But, the movies I present to you this curséd day are not so much about sexual manipulation as they are about the pressures put on women to motivate that behavior.
