About the Event
Join us for a special screening of one of the most controversial films in cinema history, director Ken Russell's The Devils, hosted by Dave Bradley. Ticketholders receive a bottle of Holy Water on arrival.
An enduring masterpiece of cinema starring Academy Award-winner Vanessa Redgrave and Oliver Reed, The Devils is a prescient epic of obsession and corruption — and a defining work of art from seminal filmmaker Ken Russell.
Assembled from the original camera negative, this new restoration presents Russell’s definitive vision by referencing the edit he privately constructed in 2004. Ken Russell's The Devils is the uncut and unfiltered theatrical experience that Russell always envisioned.
"Ken Russell's production of "The Devils" is outrageous, offensive and yet an awesome experience." - Newsday
"It’s a masterpiece in every sense of the word: hellishly good cinema with a surplus of raging ideas, beauty, horrors." - Austin Chronicle
