Probably the best Pinocchio you could wish for.

It feels like technique and precision won the battle against soul.

From Russell's direction to Redgrave and Reed's acting or Jarman's sets, from minute 1 to minute 113, The Devils got me astonished and hypnotized.
Strongly political, its development and critique are incredibly modern and scary. Censorship and Warner's aim to make it disappear are only another way to see how the film was right about all those fights for power. I just hope not to be part of the crowd, laughing while losing everything we are.

If the goal was to make us watch 10 hours of total nothingness, congratulations, they totally succeeded.
