An enduring masterpiece of cinema starring Oliver Reed and Vanessa Redgrave, Ken Russell's The Devils is a prescient epic of obsession and corruption.
In 17th-century France, Father Urbain Grandier (Reed) seeks to protect the city of Loudun from the corrupt establishment of Cardinal Richelieu. Hysteria occurs within the city when he is accused of witchcraft by a sexually repressed nun (Redgrave).
Assembled from the original camera negative, this new 4K restoration presents Ken Russell’s definitive vision of The Devils by referencing the edit he privately constructed in 2004. 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.
Screening from Thursday 29 October.
