According to Criterion Forum, another film Christopher Nolan has been pushing Warner Bros. to release or license is The Devils. A Criterion rep even said it would be a "dream" title to get. Even with all the licensing going on, apparently what's keeping the film out of circulation is a specific person within Warner Bros. management that dislikes the film.

I've only seen a lovely DVD version that had the quality of a VHS rip.

Apparently, some douchebag at Warner Bros. keeps blocking controversial stuff because they think they're doing a public service by withholding certain films.

CriterionCast talked about this in an episode recently-ish, and from what I could glean The Devils is like, 1970s offensive, and would barely raise an eyebrow now, right? Even the cut content? Am I wasting time by asking if the guy who's blocking this is 70+ years old?

I saw a cut of The Devils with pretty much all the footage that was ever censored and yeah, no, Life of Brian is a more blasphemous film. It's wild, crazy, and over the top (it's kind of excessive, a lot of scenes have galleries of people in the background screaming), but it's so absurd I can't imagine anyone being seriously offended by it. Baby of Macon, on the other hand...

A Criterion rep even said it would be a "dream" title to get. I wouldn't bet on that happening. quote:Now, let's talk about current events: in 2011 the British Film Institute was finally able to agree on a version for home theatre releases with Warner Bros. - this is actually a kind of miracle, since Warner rarely ever licence movies for third parties. The result is a 2-Disc Special Edition which is supposed to be released on 19th of March 2012 on DVD. However, there's a hook: not only did Warner forbid to release the movie on Blu-Ray, they additionally insisted on not using the 2004 reconstruction and especially forbid to show the "Rape of Christ"-sequence. As a consequence, the movie will be released in the regular British theatrical version - which at least still is longer than the US version - and Mark Kermodes documentary Hell on Earth (which will be included in the bonus features) actually had to be re-cut so that all the "inappropriate" material will not be shown. http://www.movie-censorship.com/news.php?ID=3106

Really would like to see it now.

The Devils is blasphemous as gently caress I don't know what you guys are talking about. It'd be great to have it released though.

I guess it depends how seriously you take the stories in the Bible. It's a pretty standard issue religious frenzy movie, but cranked up to ten. I don't really know any religious people though so I don't have much of a barometer - if they can release Salo, they can release The Devils.
