What did “Gothic” and “The Awakening” screenwriter Stephen Volk say after reading “Raising Hell: Ken Russell and the Unmaking of The Devils”? Well, let me tell you…
“The book is a wonderful evocation of the madness and creative integrity that made The Devils a life-changing movie experience for me. It also rekindled fond memories of working with Ken. It is without doubt one of the most incendiary films ever made, and should be compulsory viewing for schools in our age of fear and fundamentalism. What is great is that Crouse goes further than a fascination behind-the-scenes peek at the “Making of”, and does a great job of reminding us of the bigots who dismissed the movie at the time and the cowards who still prevent us from seeing it in its full glory.”
