Summary
Inspired by the work of Aleister Crowley, bohemian artist Rosaleen Norton advocated a pantheist vision of witchcraft, and a sexual magic freed from religious and moral rules. Eventually the relentless scandals led to the downfall of her high society lover. Told ?in her own words?, the film weaves stylized drama and erotic dancers with never before seen artworks, diaries and scrapbooks. THE WITCH OF KING'S CROSS is the fascinating portrait of a fearless woman outlaw railing against fearful conservative forces and an insight into the work of an uncelebrated genius. In today?s new wave of feminism, Rosaleen?s story has never been more pertinent
