"Exellent copy, I particularly appreciated the comments which gave interesting psychological hinsight to the various situations: The Sorcière is perhaps the best film of Marina Vlady: I suggest you to release on DVD another exeptional film with Marina Vlady that has not yet been released by any company: The wicked go to hell (Les salauds vont a l'enfer)."

Not your ordinary forest woman...

"...and not your ordinary sorceress either. Ina is pure as driven snow, innocent as the faun she befriends. The young French engineer who falls in love with her cites her "witchcraft, innocence and purity." But the jacket notes are misleading, for she is not an "ordinary girl." She really is a witch and proves it over and over. And she is afraid to ever set foot in a church.



But it is not her love of the engineer that does her in, the archetypal matching of Venus and Vulcan, and it's not the love triangle the engineer inadvertently sets up or the spirits he dynamites out of the rock or even the corporate greed of the landlord. It's you and I, my friend, ordinary folk, who insist that this kind of beauty and power are not allowed among us. It is a conclusion which troubles me greatly, but one I know in my heart to be true because of less severe events that have befallen me. So I assure you, though parts of this movie may seem strange and incongruous, something rings true about it.
