1971, it was the time when Ken Russell was one of the most interesting directors ever. He directed THE DEVILS based on Aldous Huxley's book: THE DEVILS OF LOUDON. Cardinal Richelieu and his power-hungry entourage seek to take control of pre-rennaisance France, but need to destroy Father Grandier - the priest who runs the fortified town that prevents them from exerting total control. So they seek to destroy him by setting him up as a warlock in control of a devil-possessed nunnery, the mother superior of which is sexually obsessed by him. A mad witch-hunter is brought in to gather evidence against the priest, ready for the big trial. (Source IMDB). That movie was so disturbing that it had a lot of troubles all over the world. When on TV, Ken Russell hit a journalist when THE DEVILS was called "monstrously indecent". This movie is visually stunning. You can find some of its torture scenes on youtube. I heard it's gonna be released in DVD soon. Let's hope it'll be the original version and not the censored version. THE DEVILS features Vanessa Redgrave and one of my favorite actor ever: Oliver reed.
