The Devils i Gloria Biograf & Café

Fully restored in 4K and cut to Ken Russell’s specific direction, Ken Russell’s ‘The Devils’ is the first publicly released version of the film as intended by the filmmaker. Fifty-five years after its initial release, the definitive version of ‘The Devils’ was unveiled at the 79th Cannes Film Festival. An enduring masterpiece 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. Inspired by the true story of 17th-century priest Urbain Grandier, accused of bewitching a convent of nuns, the film lays bare the collusion of church and state through a searing vision of religious persecution, collective hysteria and institutional corruption.
