THE WITCHES, WOMEN AMONG THEMSELVES

The enchantress Circe recounts to Leucò her attempts to bewitch and bed Odysseus. She talks about men and women, the human and the divine, and the brave hero who chooses to become neither a pig nor a God.

In her adamantine repose, Circe also hints at the monotony of her own immortal fate, and contrasts it with the vibrating currents of life she so dearly craves and envies in Odysseus, with his longing for home, childhood, and love.

"Rigorous but never oppressive, intellectual but not over-intellectualized, modest, never pedantic. [Should] serve as a good introduction to the work of two exceptional filmmakers who have had a tremendous influence on the last few decades of avant-garde and art cinema; the experience may be eye-opening or it may be frustrating, but either way you owe yourself a try." - Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
