Review of The Devils (1971) by Stella D — 17 Jun 2008
Purporting to tell the true story of a politically motivated witchhunt in 17th century france, this is far from a standard period drama. it's a spectacle that must be seen to be believed. fine performances from oliver reed as the doomed priest and vanessa redgrave as the 'possessed' nun who accuses him.
ken russell may well be insane but i'm betting no one else could have made a film quite like this. not for the easily offended!
