The Devils
DramaHorror114 min
In 17th-century France, Oliver Reed is Father Urbain Grandier, a charismatic priest in Loudun who becomes the target of witchcraft accusations from a sexually obsessed nun. Vanessa Redgrave’s Sister Jeanne turns private fixation into public scandal, and corrupt church and state officials move quickly to use the charges for their own ends. Drawn from the historical case of Urbain Grandier, Ken Russell’s film frames religious hysteria, political persecution, and convent visions against a city where faith and authority are tightly bound.
