Russell is at his most spectacular in this magnificent tale of God, diabolism and desire, and by Reed's own admission the performance was among the best he ever gave.

Never letting up its energy, 'The Devils' is eye-ride.

It's a see-through movie composed of a lot of clanking, silly, melodramatic effects that, like rib-tickling, exhaust you without providing particular pleasure, to say nothing of enlightenment.

Quite frankly one of the greatest films ever made. Period. No qualifiers are necessary.

It's like a David Lean remake of Pink Flamingos.

The set design, by future director Derek Jarman, is probably the most successful element of the film.

Reed carries the film with an admirably restrained portrayal of the doomed priest. Redgrave, on screen only sporadically, is stunning as the salacious sister.

Ken Russell at his excessively visual best and dramatic worst.

Bruegel couldn't have captured the insanity better.

Twisted genius.

No matter how thickly Russell piles on the masturbating nuns, tortured priests and dissolute dauphins, there's no getting round the fact that it's all more redolent of a camp revue than a cathartic vision.

Whatever the moral perspective, it keeps you gripped right to the end.
