The Devils

Opens Thursday, October 15, 2026

All screenings on a new 35mm print of the 4K restoration of the film. 

An enduring, singular masterpiece of cinema starring Academy Award-winner Vanessa Redgrave and Oliver Reed, KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS is a presecient epic of obsession and corruption – and a defining work of art from seminal filmmaker Ken Russell.

Assembled from the original camera negative, this new 4K restoration presents Ken Russell’s definitive vision of The Devils by referencing the edit he privately constructed in 2004. The film’s sound has been remastered from original English Composite 35mm Mag Film, transferred at 96kHz, plus other original film elements in selected spots as needed. The Picture and Sound restoration was performed by Warner Bros. Post Production Creative Services, Water Tower Color, and Warner Bros. Sound.
