Considered one of the most controversial films of all time for its graphic, blasphemous, and sexually provocative imagery, Ken Russell‘s “The Devils” is now back in cinemas uncut and uncensored.

Re-released in 4K by Warner Bros. imprint Clockwork some 55 years after its controversial debut, the new director’s cut of the film — which premiered this year in Cannes and later the London Film Festival — has given an entirely new generation the chance to discover Russell, often considered the overlooked “wild man” of British cinema.
