PATREON: / youhavebeenwatchingfilms • #Häxan #BenjaminChristensen #Criterion • Häxan - Misconception To Persecution: • This week's video essay focuses on Benjamin Christensen's classic of silent cinema, the century-old horror-documentary Häxan! An exploration of witchcraft through the ages, Häxan examines the misconceptions surrounding witchcraft which led to the persecution of innocent women at the hands of the church. A fascinating film filled with haunting imagery, Häxan also boasts an incredible sense for foresight, demonstrating that the patriarchal power that chastises women based on their appearance and behaviour continues to persist. • Source of Wael Khairy quote: https://www.rogerebert.com/far-flung-... • If you enjoyed this video essay, please consider subscribing for more video essays like this!
