The Devils18

Directed by Ken Russell | UK | 1971 | 1h 54m | Starring Vanessa Redgrave, Oliver Reed, Gemma Jones, Murray Melvin, Dudley Sutton

Censored for more than half a century, Ken Russell’s visionary masterpiece returns to the big screen fully restored in 4K and cut to Russell’s direction — the first publicly released version of the film as intended by the filmmaker. Unveiled at the 79th Cannes Film Festival, the definitive version arrives 55 years after the film’s original release. Starring Oliver Reed and Vanessa Redgrave, Ken Russell’s The Devils remains a landmark exploration of religious persecution, hysteria and institutional corruption.

Plan your visit

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
