OM DENNE EPISODE
We're back! And how could we stay away when the gorgeously restored Director's Cut of Ken Russell's long-suppressed 1971 classic "The Devils" is in cinemas? In this, our first video episode (!!!), we revisit our impressions of the film, discuss the restored footage and the controversies that led to their initial omission, and reflect on the challenges of discussing a film like "The Devils" at a moment in which the algorithm has never been more censorious.
Come for the ecclesiastical yearning and nunsploitation, stay for the nuanced theology and prescient critique of the modern bureaucratised state.
Featuring your stalwart hosts, Dr Aoife Bhreatnach and Dr Lloyd Meadhbh Houston, this double-feature also incudes our original discussion of the 1971 British X cut from December 2023.
