Assembled from the original camera negative, this new 4K restoration presents Ken Russell’s definitive vision by referencing the edit he privately constructed in 2004. It’s 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 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.
