Forfølgelsen (1981) AKA The Witch Hunt

4
(7)

Set in 17th century Norway, The Witch Hunt tells the story of a woman who returns to her hometown after a failed marriage; she is regarded as a witch due to her use of herbal medicine and love affair and gets ostracized. With the cold somber long takes, the film examines how women are isolated in a patriarchy, condemning the fear imposed upon women by history and power. The Witch Hunt put Breien together with Chantal Akerman among the most important female directors in the history of European cinema. The film won Special Mention for Historical Reconstruction and Best Actress at the 1981 Venice Film Festival.

    Just watched this. Very excellent movie on all levels. Really highlights how awful Scandinavia was/is. Makes The Emigrants seem cheerful.
