Anna Biller's The Love Witch

[QUOTE=JoeS;150542]Even if Biller did only see "one or two" (her quote) of the 60s and 70s exploitation pictures many think she is paying homage to, she certainly has seen and been exposed to many films and other arts that were influenced by them. [QUOTE=JoeS;150542]

Oh, I suspect she's seen at least a few Metzgers. A whole scene in VIVA is lifted from one.

So has anyone else picked this up?

My copy (US pressing) is unfortunately defective. It drops frames throughout the film causing a slight jump/stutter every time it happens. Really annoying to me, but the glitches are quick enough that some people wouldn't notice. And it's definitely the disc. I've tried it in two standalone players as well as a PC drive and it always happens in the same places. Did I just get a bad copy (not sure how that could happen) or are all of them affected?

I think I'll just order the UK disc now.

I think you are probably right about the disc. I was watching the special features the other day and it was pretty subtle, but it did seem to be dropping frames. What a world.

Ugh, I was afraid of that. Thanks for the confirmation. Fingers crossed that the UK blu will get it right then.

Eh, looks shit. I'll pass. Hated Viva. Stylish emptiness. And 2 hours running time. F that for stuff like this. Tolerable for 70 mins tops.

Lol, someone on Youtube nails it: "I watched enough grindhouse in the 70's to last me a lifetime, no need to watch some watered down horseshit for snowflakes."
