An enduring, singular masterpiece of cinema starring Academy Award®-winner Vanessa Redgrave and Oliver Reed, KEN RUSSELL'S THE DEVILS is a prescient epic of obsession and corruption -- and a defining work of art from seminal filmmaker Ken Russell.
In 17th-century France, Father Urbain Grandier's protection of the city of Loudun from the corrupt Cardinal Richelieu is undermined by a sexually repressed nun's accusation of witchcraft.
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. KEN RUSSELL'S THE DEVILS 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 its restored form, The
Devils reveals the keen precision and focus beneath director Ken Russell's
excesses, turning lurid religious hysteria and mob cruelty into a grotesque
spectacle with profound moral force.”
Rotten Tomatoes
“It’s a lot of movie, and now
we can finally experience all that Russell wanted us to experience. Get thee to
an arthouse.”
RogerEbert.com
“The film is an audaciously
blunt, fever-dream portrait of religious-inspired sexual hysteria.”

Magazine
“The director’s cut of The
Devils shows Russell at his most excessive, but also his most precise; every
scene fits and flows together to create a believable portrait of the
sociopolitical climate, if not the actual landscape, of 17th-century France.”
Fangoria
“Seeing the full version, in
all its NC-17 glory, only adds to the feeling that Russell made perhaps the
quintessential piece of subversive cinema. It's a masterpiece.”
Nerdist
“The restored 4K is the
definitive version; this is how Ken Russell’s most iconic film was meant to be
seen. Important cinematically and historically, it’s also just a really, really
great movie.”
