About “The Devils”

Directed by: Ken Russell

Starring: Vanessa Redgrave, Oliver Reed, and Dudley Sutton

Runtime: 1h 51m

Year: 1971

The Devils is not an easy watch, and that's exactly what makes it so powerful. Set against a true historical backdrop, the film plunges into a world of religious fanaticism, political manipulation, sexual repression, and public hysteria, building an atmosphere that becomes increasingly intense and unsettling. Director Ken Russell created one of the boldest and most uncompromising films ever made, a work that still shocks audiences more than fifty years after its release. Please be aware that the film contains disturbing themes, graphic imagery, and scenes designed to provoke and challenge rather than comfort. At the same time, its fearless storytelling, unforgettable performances from Vanessa Redgrave and Oliver Reed, and astonishing visual ambition have made it a landmark of cinema that continues to influence filmmakers today. Seeing this new 4K restoration is a rare opportunity to experience one of cinema's most controversial and intense masterpieces as Ken Russell intended.

The film is in English with English subtitles.
