A Zulawski Halloween
THE DEVIL
DIABEL
Poland
| 1972 | Andrzej Zulawski
Banned for 16 years due to its objectionable parallels to Communist Bloc Poland, this historical epic is set during the 1793 Prussian invasion of Poland. A crazed nobleman freed from prison by a mysterious, black-cloaked, Satanic stranger becomes even more unhinged as he wanders through a savage, chaotic, war-torn environment. The first of Zulawski’s all-out assaults on good taste and the senses has been likened to El Topo and The Devils, as well as to Hieronymus Bosch and De Sade. The move also drove Zulawski into exile. No one under 18 admitted! Subtitles. DCP. 119 min.
Special admission $11; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $8; no passes, twofers, or radio winners.
