We were fortunate enough to host the actress + celebrate Saint’s incredible filmography multiple times over the years.

Thank you @BeyondFest and @clockwork_wb for the magnificently terrifying restoration of KEN RUSSELL'S THE DEVILS. It was truly as if I was seeing the film for the first time. Thank you @awhitetable and @KermodeMovie for keeping the faith. Cinematic rapture.
I am awestruck.
