We'll meet in the Broadway Café just before the film (I will post a message on how to recognize me). After the film we'll have a drink/snack in the café and chat about it.
Summary:
Inspired by the true story of 17th-century priest Urbain Grandier, accused of bewitching a convent of nuns, Ken Russell's 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.
