In 1971, Ken Russell released The Devils, a film set in 17th-century France, featuring an oversexed priest, sexually repressed nuns, and the ensuing exorcisms and trials. The Black Museum presents Richard Crouse, film critic, and author of Raising Hell: Ken Russell and the Unmaking of the Devils, as he takes a deeper look into the strange and controversial aftermath of a film that was banned and ignored by its own company.
