The Devils -a cult classic now in 4k

[cetus]

Ken Russell's 1971 cult classic controversial film "The Devils" being reintroduced in 4k   Viewer discretion strongly advised. The Vatican condemned it calling it 'blasphemous' when it first came out in '71 and wanted the Venice Film Festival to be cancelled because of its showing.

I saw this a couple weeks ago in theatres. So good but some parts I had to look away from like when they were showing the brutal 17th century "medical" procedures

@Phil King It's been quite a while since I saw the film. I forgot about that part. Pretty brutal stuff. I saw a documentary on how amputations were performed in the field during the Civil war. Give him something to bite on and hold him down. Yikes!
