The Exorcist (1973) Projection on 35mm for the 50th anniversary!

THE EXORCIST

(1973, U.S.A.., 128 min., 35mm, V.O.A.) William Friedkin

When her 12-year-old daughter, Regan (Linda Blair), starts to suffer wild mood swings, movie star Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn) seeks traditional medical advice. However, with the doctors proving of little use and Regan’s behaviour becoming ever more vile and violent, her desperate Mother starts to look for alternative religious solutions.

For its 50th anniversary, in collaboration with Cinéma du Musée, we offer a gorgeous 35mm print with 11 extra minutes of footage that further develop the narrative and pacing over the original release version. THE EXORCIST, in any version, is not about cheap shocks or easy thrills. If you watch it with a popcorn audience raised on rollercoaster rides like SCREAM, they’ll snicker inappropriately. Instead, sneak into a quiet late night screening in a dark cinema and give yourself over to it. Believe, and you will be terrified.
