‘Comes from an era when movies…still had the power to shock’
- Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
Censored for more than half a century, Ken Russell’s visionary masterpiece returns to the big screen fully restored in 4K and cut to Russell’s direction — the first publicly released version of the film as intended by the filmmaker.
Unveiled at the 79th Cannes Film Festival, the definitive version arrives 55 years after the film’s original release. Starring Oliver Reed and Vanessa Redgrave, Ken Russell’s The Devils remains a landmark exploration of religious persecution, hysteria and institutional corruption.
