Before THE DEVILS... there was MOTHER JOAN OF THE ANGELS!

This landmark of Polish cinema is based on the infamous ‘demonic possession’ of a group of nuns in Loudun, France in 1634, which led to a priest being burnt at the stake. These scandalous events also inspired Aldous Huxley's 1952 novel The Devils of Loudon, and Ken Russell’s notorious 1971 film The Devils.

Jerzy Kawalerowicz’s Mother Joan of the Angels is a spare, visually astonishing and profoundly disturbing exploration of faith, fanaticism and repressed sexuality. Powered by an extraordinary performance by Lucyna Winnicka as Mother Joan, Kawalerowicz creates one of cinema’s most evocative and intense portrayals of the tragedy which ensues when passion is crushed by dogma.

Mother Joan of the Angels is presented for the first time in a brand new 4K restoration.
