Ken Russell’s ‘The Devils’ Extends Theatrical Run Following Strong Box Office Debut indiewire.com/news/general-n…

With the late, great Oliver Reed currently wowing 2026 audiences all over again with his incredible performance in the restored version of Ken Russell’s ‘The Devils’, I wanted to share this amazing clip of him from 1985.
The rather low-res clip comes from ‘In at the Deep End’, a BBC series in which presenter Paul Heiney tries his hands at a profession he had zero experience in. For this episode, Heiney was preparing for an acting role opposite Michael Caine in ‘Water’ and went to Oliver Reed for some pointers on how to play a villain.
Please enjoy what happens next.

More than 30 years ago, Mark Kermode promised Ken Russell that he would find the footage that censors deleted in 1971 from THE DEVILS.
On Saturday night, KEN RUSSELL’S THE DEVILS — the uncensored, restored director’s cut — premiered for the first time ever in the US.
Incredible night of a Ken Russell masterpiece last night at NYFF- the fully restored The Devils in beautiful 35mm. Wonderful discussion with Mark Kermode & intro with @awhitetable (nice to see you, as well!). Do not miss this on the big screen in October.
Farran's musings on Maugham
For Criterion Current, I wrote about the 1948–1951 trilogy of anthology movies based on Somerset Maugham short stories: QUARTET, TRIO and ENCORE. All three are @criterionchannl, and I enjoyed them so much I spent all summer reading Maugham stories. criterion.com/current/posts/…

PRIMETIME is great, intensely disturbing, and features Robert Pattinson giving what might be my favorite performance of the year by an actor: vulture.com/article/primetim…

Thrilled to see the video I researched, wrote and narrated for @criterion's NOUVELLE VAGUE 4K praised by Richard Linklater in this interview with The Film Stage's @Nick_Newman. "Within the Wave" is a dossier of less-familiar New Wave figures in the film. thefilmstage.com/a-little-co…
