The Devils


The Devils is a controversial and banned film made by Ken Russell in 1971. Based on the 1952 book The Devils of Loudun by Aldous Huxley, it portrays the rise and fall of respected priest Urbain Grandier in 17th Century France as he is demolished physically, politically, and in the eyes of the public by the hunchbacked, sexually repressed Sister Jeanne (Vanessa Redgrave). Featuring lesbian nun orgies, masturbation, torture, and enemas its still censored and I believe the uncut version is not available on the market. I recently missed a screening at IFC of this wildly interesting film and so am left with youtube clips. I'll be keeping an eye out for the next time its shown.
