Synopsis "The Devils (Devil's Advocates) (in English)"
Undoubtedly the most notorious title in director Ken Russells controversial filmography, The Devils (1973) caused a real furor on its initial theatrical release, only to largely disappear for many years. This Devils Advocate considers the films historical context, as the timing of the first appearance of The Devils is of particular importance, its authorship and adaptation (Russells auteur reputation aside, the screenplay is based on John Whitings 1961 play of the same name, which was in turn based on Aldous Huxleys 1952 book The Devils of Loudun), and its generic hybridity. Darren Arnold goes on to examine the themes prevalent in the filmthis is the only film of Russells which the director considered to be politicaland considers the representation of gender and sexuality, gender fluidity, and how sex and religion clash to interesting and controversial effect. He concludes by revisiting the films censorship travails and the various versions of The Devils that have appeared on both big and small screens, and the films legacy and influence.
