THE DEVILS (Special Edition)
A fiIm by Ken Russell
In seventeenth-century France, a promiscuous and divisive locaI priest, Urbain Grandier (Oliver Reed), uses his powers to protect the city of Loudun from destruction at the hands of the establishment. Soon, he stands accused of the demonic possession of Sister Jeanne (Vanessa Redgrave), whose erotic obsession with him fueIs 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 subIimeIy dissonant score by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, The Devils stands as a profound and sincere commentary on religious hysteria, political 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.
