About this product
Product Information
THE DEVILS was the Ken Russell film version of the controversial play by John Whiting. The story, based on Aldous Huxley's THE DEVILS OF LOUDUN, concerns controversial 17th century French priest Urbain Grandier, whose radical political and religious notions and profligate sex life earn him many enemies. When a group of nuns appears to have been 'bewitched' by Grandier, his rivals feed on the resulting mass hysteria, using this incident as an excuse to have the priest arrested. Refusing to confess to being in league with Satan and to renounce his 'heretical' views, Grandier undergoes appalling tortures, and is finally burned at the stake. Vanessa Redgrave co-stars as the head nun.Product Identifiers

Powerful drama-documentary. Not for the faint-hearted or for children.
A very powerful description of the intrigues within the Catholic Church in France at the time of Cardinal Richelieu, resulting in the framing and destruction of a liberal priest. Based on the novel by Aldous Huxley, The Devils of Loudon, the film is a largely factual account of events, which prompted demonstrations outside cinemas when it was released, by people who didn’t want its contents to be available to the public. This film by maverick director Ken Russell is very engaging, extremely harrowing, nauseating in parts and may make you want to hide behind the sofa. Catholics may feel offended.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A thought provoking story.
An interesting and challenging story, based on true events, it speaks out for the need to challenge when needed, even if those that need to be challenged are those in authority. As is so often the case, authority is often abused and used for the wrong purposes.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
