Ken Russell's The Devils (1971)
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1097/...e55938.jpg?v=0 http://www.bfi.org.uk/sightandsound/...devils_420.jpg http://www.iainfisher.com/russell/ke...-devils-28.jpg This film is so many things. An irreverent, pointed hack-job of historical account (not unlike this year's Inglourious Basterds). A politically-charged drama. An horrific display of primal madness. But in essence it is a mind-blowing monolith of vicious, insane genius. Easily one of the most uncomfortable, disturbing films I've ever seen. Frightening in its implications, it's sure to move even the most thick-skinned, thick-headed viewer as it locates, then prods, then mutilates the area in which religion, love, madness, corruption, and redemption converge. Intermittently gorgeous and repulsive, but always outrageous, I'd say this film is for everyone, and especially for those with a confused, opaque (or perhaps obscured) worldview. But not everyone would realize that, or even make it through. The Devils is grotesque and blasphemous, even prurient in its execution, but exalted in its mission. |
A great and wonderful movie. Maybe Ken Russel's best.

Hausu (House) (1977)
http://www.ifc.com/blogs/thedaily/hausu310.jpg http://www.dvdoutsider.co.uk/dvd/pix/h/ha/hausu4.jpg Hausu is a cinematic fun house of childlike imagination. Completely out-of-its-mind, and an absolutely singular (and often virtuosic) work of horror, comedy, and melodrama. Every moment of the film is another delightful experiment; colorful, hyper-kinetic, and the most fun you're bound to have movie-watching. Supposedly conceived to get dwindling audiences excited again about Japanese cinema, it's certainly enough to reinvigorate nearly anyone's love for film. Eureka's Masters of Cinema series has already released an incredible edition of this movie (R2), and Criterion is supposed to be doing it stateside at some point this year. Trailer: |
