The Devils (1971)

4K restoration of the Director’s Cut. One of cinema’s most transgressive and incendiary provocations, Ken Russell’s feverish account of the Loudun possessions witchcraft trial in 17th-century France stars Oliver Reed and Vanessa Redgrave. Alternately hailed as a masterpiece and derided as pornography, its anti-authoritarian outrage and critique of institutional hypocrisy feel more urgent than ever. Rated NC-17.
