Ken Russell's The Devils (1971) - Remastered & RestoredMarquee Memories Film Series Special Presentation | Brockville, ON
---
Cut apart by censors, banned in multiple countries, and pushed into the corners of cinema history... Acclaimed director Ken Russell's (Women In Love, Tommy, Altered States) controversial masterpiece THE DEVILS has been restored from the original camera negative and remastered into a definitive experience that finally mirrors Russell's original intent. Its criticisms of social and political institutions remain shockingly relevant today.
« In 17th-century France, Father Grandier (Oliver Reed) is a priest whose unorthodox views on sex and religion influence a passionate following of nuns, including the sexually obsessed Sister Jeanne (Vanessa Redgrave). When the power-hungry Cardinal Richelieu (Christopher Logue) realizes he must eliminate Grandier to gain control of France, Richelieu portrays Grandier as a satanist and spearheads a public outcry to destroy the once-loved priest's reputation. »
