The Love Witch
The Beverly Theater

Anna Biller's candy-colored cult favorite gets the big screen treatment it deserves at The Beverly Theater. This 2016 film follows Elaine, a modern-day witch in Northern California who brews love potions to make men fall for her—only to find the results a bit more literal, and lethal, than she intended. Shot on 35mm with a devotion to 1960s and '70s technicolor aesthetics, the film is a lush, satirical take on romance, witchcraft, and the fantasies women are sold about love.

The Beverly Theater's intimate 150-seat house feels like the right setting for a movie so steeped in visual texture—every velvet curtain, tarot card, and shade of lipstick red designed to be savored on a real screen rather than a laptop. Expect a crowd that appreciates practical effects, retro production design, and a script that's as funny as it is knowing about gender dynamics. It's the kind of film that rewards a rewatch, and seeing it in a room built for cinema, with people who get the joke, adds something a home viewing can't replicate.
