Censored for over half a century, Ken Russell’s film returns in a landmark director’s cut reconstruction that reveals the full power of his original vision. 

Inspired by the true story of 17th-century priest Urbain Grandier, accused of bewitching a convent of nuns, The Devils lays bare the collusion of church and state through a searing vision of religious persecution, collective hysteria and institutional corruption. The restoration many believed would never happen reaffirms Russell’s incendiary masterpiece as among the most overwhelming and uncompromising achievements in British cinema.

Assembled from original camera negative, this 4k restoration is Ken Russell’s 2004 preferred edit. Picture and sound restoration by Warner Bros. Post Production Creative Services, Water Tower Color and Warner Bros. Sound.

“She Loved Men... To Death.”

Addicted to love, Elaine – the love witch – casts love and sex spells to seek her perfect man, finding herself with more dead bodies than she does a long-term partner… 

A visually-striking, humorous and thought-provoking film by the continuously playful Anna Biller, The Love Witch has caused immense debate by audiences through its feminist themes. Visually drenched in 1970s fashion and cinematography, the film´s style feels as magical as the love witch herself. 

The Love Witch is featured as part of MANEATERS, a season exploring the female supernatural on screen. The season is presented with the National Film and Television School’s Film Studies, Programming and Curation MA.
