What did Joe Dante say after reading “Raising Hell: Ken Russell and the Unmaking of The Devils”? Well, let me tell you…
“Finally! The Devils gets its due! With Raising Hell Richard Crouse provides an exhaustive, perplexing and almost unbelievable chronicle of the making and unmaking of Ken Russell’s brilliant and wildly unappreciated film— which has managed to become a classic despite ongoing and well orchestrated efforts to destroy it stretching back over forty years. If any single work defines Jean Cocteau’s term film maudit, this is it. But Raising Hell is also eye-opening in its chronicle of the actual historical events at Loudon that inspired the movie. It’s a win-win!”
