The Devils 4K Restoration Re-Release (2026)

The 4K restoration trailer for The Devils announces the return of Ken Russell's notorious 1971 film, uncut. In 17th-century France, Father Urbain Grandier, a charismatic and worldly priest, holds the walled city of Loudun together while powerful forces scheme to tear it down. When a sexually repressed nun, Sister Jeanne, accuses him of witchcraft, the church and state seize on the hysteria to destroy him. Oliver Reed plays Grandier and Vanessa Redgrave plays Sister Jeanne, with Dudley Sutton and Gemma Jones. Long censored, banned in several countries and buried for decades, the film is now restored from the original negative and cut to Russell's specifications. Rated NC-17, it opened in US theaters on October 16, 2026.
