In 17th-century France, Father Urbain Grandier‘s (Oliver Reed) protection of the city of Loudun from the corrupt Cardinal Richelieu is undermined by a sexually repressed nun‘s accusation of witchcraft, Sister Jeanne des Anges (Vanessa Redgrave). Adapted from the 1952 non-fiction book „The Devils of Loudun“ by Aldous Huxley and the subsequent 1960 play „The Devils“ by John Whiting.
An enduring masterpiece of cinema starring Oliver Reed and Vanessa Redgrave, KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS is a prescient epic of obsession and corruption – and a defining work of art from seminal filmmaker Ken Russell. 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.
