A teenager at the time of its publication, I found the novel to be a reasonable homage to women's ordinary and extraordinary powers, as well as our unfortunate tendency to defer them... When "Mad Max" director George Miller adapted the film to screen in 1987, the result – a punk rock fairy tale of gold lamé and rolling green lawns and Venus figurines – was even better.

In The Witches Of Eastwick, director George Miller and his talented collaborators manage to spin John Updike's novel into a buoyant, absurdist, sensually comic exploration of stifled femininity. The narrative pivots on the notion of witchcraft as representing a male pretense for punishing and destroying females—a pretense that, in this film, serves to ironically bring about real witchcraft.
