Assembled from the original camera negative, this new 4K restoration of KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS is the uncut and unfiltered theatrical experience that Russell always envisioned. @FilmLinc@TheNYFF
I’m very anxious to see this restoration, not only to see the complete film, but also to be able to enjoy David Watkin’s brilliant cinematography and Ronnie Taylor’s anamorphic operating in its full glory, for the first time.
"The restoration of the material is like cleaning the Sistine Chapel with saliva. It is insane, the epic size of the film. I mean, I've seen it on the big screen in Telluride at a theater – but I've never seen the movie until I saw this restoration." - @RealGDT
