Movie Description
In the French city of Loudon in the 17th century a priest is tortured and executed for consorting with the devil and sexual misconduct with nuns in director Russell's near psychotic vision of religion's war between the heavenly and the earthly.
Synopsis
Adapted from Aldous Huxley's "The Devil's of Loudun," the story revolves around a liberal-thinking priest in 17th Century France, whose womanizing exploits make him unpopular with the Catholic clergy and whose political views make him a liability for Cardinal Richelieu. He is denounced and accused of consorting with the devil and having sexual activities with the nuns in the town's convent, most notably Sister Jeanne, an unsatisfied, humpbacked nun in love with him.
Film Notes
Shot in Technicolor and Panavision.
Originally rated MPAA X in 1971; it was re-edited and rated MPAA R in 1979.
Also released on Tamarelle Video.
Ken Russell received the 1971 National Board of Review Award for Best Director.
