At long last, THE DEVILS lands at The Cube!
Inspired by Aldous Huxley‘s account of a 17th century satanic-panic (which also inspired the 1961 film ‚mother Joan of the Angels‘), this long-banned film brings together the talents of British mega-auteurs Ken Russell and Derek Jarman in a fever dream of irreligious imagery and social satire. Boasting career-best performances from the likes of Oliver Reed and Vanessa Redgrave, the film has been near-impossible to see since its release over half a century ago due to it - ironically - stirring up the same kind of furore it set out to critique. Finally available in its complete form in this ravishingly new restoration, the unholy vision of this cultest of cult films is finally available for all to see!
