Not sure what the title of this film actually is. The cover says "Season of the Witch" but when the opening credits role I could have sworn it said, "Jack's Wife". WhatEVER. It is an odd film indeed.
The lead character, a woman, is having strange dreams brought on by her desire to seek some meaning in her life and to escape her awful husband who has a hot temper and sometimes abuses her, and then apologizes as if he just accidentally stepped on her foot.
She often stares blankly at other people, even at parties and when she finally discovers something that she decides to pursue she still carries that odd blank stare and grim face. She meets a woman who claims to be a witch and intrigued decides to learn more about witchcraft and to try to make things happen by casting spells. She even joins a coven, still with the same grim, static face.
She continues hoping that witchcraft will change her life but it is SHE who finally changes everything with a bang! She has finally found who she is.
Obviously, the film is about oppression and sexual frustration and breaking out of that. But does she? Or is she now a witch with the same exact problems?
