THE DEVlLS (SpeciaI Edition)
A fiIm by Ken RusselI
ln seventeenth-century France, a promiscuous and divisive Iocal priest, Urbain Grandier (OIiver Reed), uses his powers to protect the city of Loudun from destruction at the hands of the estabIishment. Soon, he stands accused of the demonic possession of Sister Jeanne (Vanessa Redgrave), whose erotic obsession with him fuels the hystericaI fervour that sweeps through the convent.
With its bold and briIIiant direction by Ken RusselI, magnificent performances by Oliver Reed and Vanessa Redgrave, exquisite Derek Jarman sets and sublimely dissonant score by Sir Peter MaxweII Davies, The DeviIs stands as a profound and sincere commentary on reIigious hysteria, poIiticaI persecution and the corrupt marriage of church and state.
FinalIy available on DVD for the first time, The DeviIs is presented in the originaI UK X certificate version with a host of new and exciting extra features.
