A fascinating spectacle: Mexican director Arturo Ripstein coming to grips with witchcraft hokum and at the same time holding on to his customary starch sobriety, his long-term interest in the dynamics of power, and his predilection for claustrophobic enclosure. The climax features as cool and deliberate a mistreatment of the human body as ever put on screen. With Diana Bracho. (1981) — Duncan Shepherd
