Lukas Feigelfeld (this was his graduation film from the Deutsche Film- und Fernsehakademie Berlin). Setting: Remote Austrian Alps in the 15th century. The film is divided into four distinct chapters:

Contrast the village’s religious "purity" with the biological reality of Albrun’s life, utilizing Homi Bhabha’s concept of "hybridity" to explain her position between "mother" and "monster". Conclusion: The Reality of the Nightmare Setting: Remote Austrian Alps in the 15th century

The title Hagazussa is derived from an Old High German word meaning "witch". Historically, the term carried multiple connotations: A female comedian or a slovenly, promiscuous woman. A night-flying, cannibalistic female spirit.

Yes, —but with a clear warning label. It's a film that excels at what it sets out to do: create a folk horror tone poem about isolation, superstition, and a woman's unraveling. If you have patience for its deliberate rhythm and stomach for its grim subject matter, you'll find it a memorable, powerful, and unsettling piece of work. If you need a traditional story with a fast pace, look elsewhere.
