Jessica Oreck's strange and beguiling film combines Eastern European storybook animation with documentary and fiction elements to recount the Slavic fable of the witch Baba Yaga, a frightful character living in a woodland hut perched on chicken legs. As with her previous documentary hybrids, "Aatsinki: The Story of Arctic Cowboys" and "Beetle Queen Conquers Tokyo", Oreck is fascinated by the rituals, superstitions, and fables of diverse subcultures. In the case of "The Vanquishing", Oreck focuses especially on the contemporary relevance of childhood stories to war and social upheaval; memory and trauma; and our relationship with the natural world, the threat we pose to that world, and the threat that world poses to us.

Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Daily News - 9/10 by Bob StraussYou'll leave both enlightened and scratching your head, but you'll really have seen something.
Slant Magazine - 9/10 by Ela BittencourtThe film becomes akin to variations on a theme, executed with visual finesse, and enhanced by its many rich textures.
Nonfics - 8/10 by Daniel WalberMore myth than documentary, The Vanquishing of the Witch Baba Yaga is a razor-sharp gust of wind gearing for the soul of Eastern Europe and humankind at large.
Variety - 8/10 by Ronnie ScheibOreck spins a mesmerizing web that appropriates a wealth of disparate Eastern European images — of mushrooms, farmers, falling trees and war-destroyed buildings — to illustrate its lyrical discourse.
The Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by Frank ScheckThe film is a meditation on its themes, and as such is probably too amorphous for its own good. But Vanquishing nonetheless represents a typically audacious effort from an intriguing filmmaker whose work bears future attention.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Nicolas RapoldThis two-track meditation wraps ethereal glimpses of age-old Slavic locales around a fairy tale told through hand-drawn illustrations.
Little White Lies - 6/10 by David JenkinsThe film plays a single note, but it's satisfyingly off-key and is delivered in a range of volumes and textures.
Guardian - 6/10 by Phil HoadThere are rich pickings here, with a little effort.
User Review - 2/10 by April WThe only movie I ever hated at true/false
