At 6:30pm we have the ‘scandal of the Cannes Film Festival’ that was was funded by John Lennon and Yoko: THE HOLY MOUNTAIN. The film presents a corrupt, greed-fueled world, in which a powerful alchemist leads a Christ-like character and seven materialistic figures to the Holy Mountain, where they hope to achieve enlightenment.
115mins
After a 20 minute intermission we’ll play the X-rated UK version of Ken Russell’s 1971 magnum opus THE DEVILS about the hysteria which occurs within 17th century Loudon when Father Urbain Grandier is accused of witchcraft by a sexually repressed nun. Warner Brothers still refuses to give this film a proper uncut release after 51 years but never fear, we will be playing the most unholy cut available!
