THE DEVILS (Special Edition)
A fiIm by Ken RusselI
ln seventeenth-century France, a promiscuous and divisive local 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 fueIs the hysterical fervour that sweeps through the convent.
With its boId and brilIiant direction by Ken RusseIl, magnificent performances by OIiver Reed and Vanessa Redgrave, exquisite Derek Jarman sets and subIimeIy dissonant score by Sir Peter MaxwelI 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 Devils is presented in the originaI UK X certificate version with a host of new and exciting extra features.
