Ken Russell's The Devils

18

Inspired by the true story of 17th-century priest Urbain Grandier, accused of bewitching a convent of nuns, The Devils lays bare the collusion of church and state through a searing vision of religious persecution, collective hysteria and institutional corruption. The restoration many believed would never happen reaffirms Russell’s incendiary masterpiece as among the most overwhelming and uncompromising achievements in British cinema.

Assembled from original camera negative, this 4K restoration is Ken Russell’s 2004 preferred edit. Picture and sound restoration by Warner Bros. Post Production Creative Services, Water Tower Color and Warner Bros. Sound.  

The screenings on Wed 18 & Thu 19 of Nov will be on 35mm and will be introduced Chiara Amendola, creator of Occulture Magazine.

More screenings of The Devils will be added soon!
