Trivia
While writing the script for The Love Witch, Anna Biller had been reading relationship self-help books, and one particular piece of advice that stuck out to her was that if a woman wants to keep a man around, she should love him less than he loves her. She noticed a parallel between this advice and the female characters in classic cinema who love someone to death such as Ellen in Péché mortel (1945), so she decided to created the character Elaine in the same vein.

Goofs
Elaine performs a seductive dance for Richard, causing him to bite her rear end in a fit of lust. Before he bites her, red bite marks are already visible on her right buttock from previous takes.

Quotes
Elaine: Witchcraft is just a way of concentrating energy. It can only work with what's already there.

Extraordinary

I dont think i would ever expect to see a movie made in 2016 to feel like it was shot in the 60s. Even the quality of the movie felt like i was watching a movie from 40 50 years ago. I don't know a lot about witchtcraft and i've never been really interested in that but i really loved the atmosphere and the visuality of the film. The cafe where they went to drink tea was my favorite location for sure, it was like a fairy tale. I think there was a lot of remarks about feminism. If i look at the story of the film i couldn't really get Elaine's story and the movie didn't really get to the point. I couldn't figure out Elaine's emotions towards the men she was with especially to Wayne. And the scene with her and Wayne in his house was unnecessarily long. But overall it was visually satisfying. I wont recommend people to watch it for the plot tho. The acting was not so great either except the british girl. But afterall you watch b-movies for their weirdness,right?
