Didier Konings’ simmering mediaeval horror Witte Wieven explores the confluence of religion and patriarchy in an excessively puritanical Dutch village. Blamed by her community for being childless, Frieda immerses herself in prayer and ritual. When she returns unscathed from the forbidden forest surrounding the village, having evaded a lecherous butcher, she is condemned as an agent of the devil. Frieda, however, finds new faith in the dark powers that inhabit the woods.　　Shot in a reduced colour palette at the edge of visibility, Konings’ gripping film constructs a convincing pre-modern society whose practices it elucidates with patience and attention. Although set in the Middle Ages, Witte Wieven displays an unmistakably contemporary spirit, crafting a feminist parable about women discovering new ways of understanding their lives and the world.（这段时间脑袋里总是在想情节，乱成一滩糊涂。构思阴谋不是很容易，势均力敌的算计更难写，想要将敌人的阴谋与主角的破解再写的爽快，那就更不容易了“可是累死我了。估计写完这本书，哥哥我也就凤凰一般涅架浴火重生了）
