Narration by William Burroughs
One of the most controversial films of the silent era, Häxan is a dramatized documentary of the practice and persecution of witchcraft
in the middle ages. The elaborate production made it the most expensive Scandinavian silent film ever made. Although it was
celebrated in its native country, it was widely banned and censored elsewhere for the elaborate images of Satanism and the Inquisition,
closely following medieval engravings referenced in the film.
