KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS The Director’s Cut. Restored and Remastered. In theaters 10.16 courtesy of @clockwork_wb 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. KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS is the uncut and unfiltered theatrical experience that Russell always envisioned – and the first time the film will be presented restored and in 4K.
