The Girl on the Broomstick [Dívka na koštěti] (1972)
Honey, if becoming mortal means trading in your absolutely phenomenal hairdo for that mod nightmare we were subjected to in the last scene, even discovering true love isn’t worth it. Saxana stands out from the motley crew of witches and warlocks with her bouncy auburn locks, always perfectly curled even if she was a cow just moments earlier. The costume and production designers have some cheeky fun with her outfit, all gauzy black material and bone accents and strappy boots. They find excuses for her dress to get shorter and shorter until it’s practically as scandalous as the insane nurse miniskirt which is apparently the uniform at the local psych ward. The design of the witchy world has a wonderful haunted house quality. Bones are everywhere, and everything seems to be contained in some musty basement of a castle somewhere remote. Cobwebs drape over the arched rafters. Gnomes rove the halls bitching about dragons. It clashes gleefully with urban Czechoslovakia, a much more grounded world where yet people seem to have absolutely no qualms about doctors getting turned into cows or the local hooligans sprouting rabbit ears. Life behind the Iron Curtain sure was wild.
THE RULES
SIP
Someone says ‘Saxana’.
Napoleon is mentioned.
Saxana casts a spell.
Someone names a mythical creature.
BIG DRINK
Stretchy arm shenanigans.
