Ken Russell's The Devils (18) Monday Night Film Club at the Robert Burns Centre

Censored for over half a century, Ken Russell’s visionary masterpiece THE DEVILS is back in cinemas, released in the UK and Ireland by BFI Distribution in partnership with Warner Bros. Clockwork.
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.
An enduring masterpiece of cinema starring 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. 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.
