Baba Yaga (Corrado Farina, 1973, 91’, colour)
Valentina, a young photographer, meets the mysterious witch Baba Yaga and is asked by the latter to photograph some old jewellery. On going to the witch’s ancient and rundown house, the young woman is involved in a series of occult events, amongst dolls that come to life and mysterious, inexplicable crimes. Seduction, a fascination for images and death are brought on screen by Corrado Farina (author of the cult Hanno cambiato faccia /They have changed their face) in this personal review of the Valentina character, created by Guido Crepax.
