Ken Russell's audacious 1971 masterpiece is a fever dream of religious hysteria, sexual repression, and political corruption that swings wildly between profound and transgressive—and that's exactly why you should watch it. If you want challenging cinema that provokes rather than comforts, this baroque nightmare about false witchcraft accusations is absolutely worth your time tonight.

Plot

In 1634 France, charismatic Father Urbain Grandier becomes the target of a sexually obsessed nun’s witchcraft accusations, which corrupt church and state officials are all too happy to exploit.
