Saw one of Wilder’s weirdest at the BFI. boxd.it/h8ekhH
A ★★★ review of The Spirit of St. Louis (1957)

Seeing in the Dark Season with a cinema trip to see the restored full cut of The Devils. Can't wait to find out if it lives up to the hype. I'm particularly looking forward to seeing the Derek Jarman set design!

The New Statesman was unimpressed: “there isn't a character in it worth a curse, and there isn't a thought in it worth remembering”
