New 4k restoration!
“It’s a masterpiece in every sense of the word: hellishly good cinema with a surplus of raging ideas, beauty, horrors.”—Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle
“A lunatic opera, an attempt to make a furious poem out of frenzy.”—Jay Cocks, TIME Magazine
An enduring masterpiece of cinema starring Oliver Reed and Vanessa Redgrave, Ken Russell's The Devils is a prescient epic of obsession and corruption – and a defining work of art from a seminal filmmaker. This is the uncut and unfiltered theatrical experience that Russell always envisioned – and the first time the film will be presented restored and in 4K. In 17th-century France, Father Urbain Grandier's (Reed) protection of the city of Loudun from the corrupt Cardinal Richelieu is undermined by a sexually repressed nun's (Redgrave) accusation of witchcraft.
