Our objective is to analyze the movie Rosemary's Baby (1968) directed by Roman Polanski, based on three themes: witchcraft, sects and sorcery. Our approach is supported by the analysis of the film as a historical document (NAPOLITANO, 2006) and analyze the importance of collective representations (CHARTIER, 2002a) as forms of appropriation of social reality as well as to relate the themes present in this film, while translations of worldviews, laden with moral and ethic values that reflect the society of the period. For a better organization of the textual body, we divided the text into three parts: the biography of Director Roman Polanski, the film and the context of its production and consequent relationship to history and, finally, from bibliography regarding to the chosen themes, to draw parallels with the film.
