Perhaps the most famous horror film of all time, it tells the story of a young girl possessed by the devil and the efforts of her mother and two priests to save her through an exorcism, a controversial ritual to exorcise the spirits.Directed by William Friedkin and based on the novel of the same name by William Peter Blatty, this is one of the few films in the genre to have received such widespread critical and audience acclaim. "The Exorcist" was nominated for no less than ten Oscars, including Best Picture of the Year, making it the first horror film to receive such a nomination, and was awarded Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Sound. The viewership record it set lasted until 2017, when "It" was released. This huge success has meant that The Exorcist is not known to those who have not seen it, but to those who have seen it, from the ideas that have been replicated or ridiculed in other films. Nevertheless, the film remains creepy, shocking, provocative.Unwillingly, the viewer seems to identify with the characters, who find it harder and harder to remain sceptical.In this screening, we present the director's cut version, which restores 12 minutes cut from the original The Exorcist. Directed by William Friedkin Starring: Ellen Burstyn, Max von Sydow, Linda Blair
