Episode 240: The Devils (1971) - REDUX

Condemned film month continues with a deep dive (and redux!) on Ken Russell’s newly restored masterpiece, The Devils (1971). From wiki: “The Devils is a 1971 historical psychological horror-drama film written, produced and directed by Ken Russell, and starring Vanessa Redgrave and Oliver Reed.[3] A dramatised historical account of the fall of Urbain Grandier, a 17th-century Catholic priest accused of witchcraft after the possessions in Loudun, France, the plot also focuses on Sister Jeanne des Anges, a sexually repressed nun who inspires the accusations.”

ALSO DISCUSSED: The Stanley Kubrick Criterion boxset, Mike Flanagan’s Carrie adaptation for Amazon, The Horrible Sexy Vampire (1971), The Entity (1982), Big Trouble in Little China (1986), Derek Jarman, and more.
