肯·罗素执导的1971年电影《魔鬼》的导演剪辑版将于10月16日上映，首度公开曾被审查机构删除的内容1。这部影片以17世纪法国路易小镇的修女附魔事件为背景，讲述被控施巫术的神父乌班·格兰迪耶的悲剧1。1632年9月22日，三名修女报告遭遇幽灵显现，此后附魔事件持续至1638年1。1634年8月18日，格兰迪耶被判有罪并被烧死1。
电影因其对宗教机构和国家权力的批评以及大量露骨画面，在发行时遭到多国禁映和严格审查1。梵蒂冈报纸《罗马观察家报》指责这部影片为"对电影的侮辱"，而伦敦标准报影评人亚历山大·沃克则评论其为"罗马天主教男生的自我满足幻想"1。尽管备受争议，该片在1971年威尼斯电影节获得最佳外国电影奖1。电影灵感源于奥尔德斯·赫胥黎1952年的著作《路易的魔鬼》和约翰·惠廷1960年的戏剧《魔鬼》1。生于1927年的罗素于2011年去世1。
Director Ken Russell's controversial 1971 film "The Devils" will see its director's cut released on October 16, featuring content that was previously removed by censors.1 The film won the award for Best Foreign Film at the 1971 Venice Film Festival.1 It draws inspiration from Aldous Huxley's 1952 work "The Devils of Loudun" and John Whiting's 1960 play "The Devils."1
The narrative centers on a historical incident of demonic possession among nuns in the 17th-century French town of Loudun, culminating in the tragic execution of Father Urbain Grandier, who was accused of witchcraft.1 The crisis began when three nuns reported encountering supernatural apparitions on September 22, 1632,1 and escalated until Grandier was convicted and burned at the stake on August 18, 1634.1 The possession events continued until 1638.1
Upon its original release, the film faced bans and strict censorship in multiple countries due to its criticism of religious institutions and state power, as well as its explicit imagery.1 The Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano denounced the film as "an affront to cinema,"1 while London Standard film critic Alexander Walker characterized it as "a self-indulgent Catholic schoolboy fantasy."1 Russell, who lived from 1927 to 2011,1 created a work that remains provocative decades after its initial theatrical presentation.
