Good and bad news on for you DEVILS fans.TC wrote:The Devils - "In 17th-century France, Father Urbain Grandier seeks to protect the city of Loudun from the corrupt establishment of Cardinal Richelieu. Hysteria occurs within the city when he is accused of witchcraft by a sexually repressed nun." yeah, that. also, lots and lots of acid was consumed, i assume. this is one bonkers film. first half is kind of slow burn, not really sure where this is going to go, then it takes a very hard right turn into nutso. everyone should see this at least once. a couple powerful performances flanked by a ton of over the top insanity and what someone assumes to be period dialog. it is quite striking for sure.
The good news is FilmStruck is streaming it now through December 27. (If this movie doesn't say holiday cheer, nothing does.)
The bad news is it's apparently the butchered R-rated cut. Even worse, it's not anamorphic.
