Paganistan: Notes from the Secret Commonwealth
In Which One Midwest Man-in-Black Confers, Converses & Otherwise Hob-Nobs with his Fellow Hob-Men (& -Women) Concerning the Sundry Ways of the Famed but Ill-Starred Tribe of Witches.
Of Witches, Hindus, and Jews
“Pretty Fierce”
Because it tells the story of two South Florida high school seniors—one Jewish, one Hindu—falling in love, chances are Jared Frieder's 2022 film Three Months will end up getting slotted into the “Queer Cinema” box.
If so, that's a pity, since the film addresses larger and more universal issues as well, including the nature of being an outsider.
“What's it like, being Jewish?” the Hindu boy asks.
“There are seven kinds of Jews,” answers the Jewish boy. “Three of them are pretty fierce.”
Quantification aside (read: symbolic), that's surely about as naff a response as one could hope for.
So, what's it like, being a witch?
Well, there are thirteen kinds of witches.
Five of them are pretty fierce.
