In the 17th Century a group of nuns claimed to be possessed by the devil with Joan, the convent head, leading the possession stakes with at least 8 demons on her slate. An innocent young priest, the latest in a long line sent to investigate, is going to have to go to hell and back to save her soul. Chronologically the film acts as a sequel to Ken Russell's 1971 shocker 'The Devils', and if you've seen that you'll know what a lying bitch Joan is. Superb black and white photography gives an expres

Another of Kieslowski's sardonic takes on the 10 Commandments, this time with a young boy who voyeuristically watches and covets the woman opposite. Shades of 'Rear Window', but the woman involved responds to the boy's attention with disastrous results. A funny, wry and emotional love story!

To spark up or not to spark up? This rambling, flamboyant, incoherent ‘head movie' should be approached with caution by anyone who hasn't got any drugs in their system. In the Napoleonic wars, an officer finds an old book that relates his grandfather's story. On a trip to Madrid a Belgian soldier takes a short cut across the mountains, a land of robbers, body snatching gypsies and devils, and stays at an inn named the Venta Quemada....Luis Buñuel (who seldom viewed movies more than once) liked t
