Synopsis
"What a Witch..." (original title: Ну ти й відьма...) is a 1992 Soviet drama directed by Igor Rogatšov, which explores the complex interplay between folklore and contemporary life in post-Soviet society. The film centers on a young woman who is rumored to possess witch-like abilities, navigating the skepticism and superstitions of her close-knit village community. Through atmospheric storytelling and poignant character development, the movie delves into themes of belief, fear, and social alienation, capturing the tension between tradition and modernity during a time of significant cultural change in early 1990s Eastern Europe.
Reviews
Due to the film's limited international release and niche appeal, it does not have extensive coverage on major Western review aggregators such as Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic. On IMDb, "What a Witch..." holds a modest rating reflecting a small but appreciative audience, with viewers noting its evocative atmosphere and compelling portrayal of rural life. Critics familiar with post-Soviet cinema commend the film for its authentic representation of folk beliefs and societal dynamics, highlighting Igor Rogatšov's subtle direction and the strong performances from the cast. However, some reviews mention that the film's slow pacing and localized narrative might challenge viewers unfamiliar with the cultural context. As a whole, it is regarded as a thoughtful piece within its genre, valued mainly by enthusiasts of Soviet-era and Eastern European cinema.
