If you loved Gothic, try The Devils
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Ken Russell, and they sit in Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Gothic, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Devils is
Loud bells peel over winter Lyon. A silver crucifix swings above a pulpit slick with candle wax. A priest’s shadow begins twitching before the accusations do. Church and city rot from the inside. One nun’s fevered lips stain silk veils with spit and blasphemy. Power tastes like dirty incense and warm wine. Russell’s baroque nightmares still burn.
