What critics compared The Beguiled to
Its aesthetic is a mix between the bewitching visuals in both Sofia Coppola’s The Beguiled and Marie Antoinette, mixed with Lucky McGee’s disquieting May and Jack Hill’s 1967 Spider Baby.
Philippe Le Sourd's (2008's " Seven Pounds ") lensing in and around Louisiana's historic Madewood Plantation House is exquisite, creating an aura of authenticity which extends to its other ace technical specs: Anne Ross' (2007's " Margot at the Wedding ") detailed production design, Jennifer Dehghan's (2005's " The Squid and the Whale ") lush art direction, Amy Beth Silver's (1997's " Gummo ") meticulous set decoration, and Stacey Battat's (2014's " Still Alice ") ravishing costumes.
