Join us to celebrate 50 years since this Jesuit-related classic was released!
When a 12 year old girl is possessed by a mysterious entity, her mother seeks the help of two Jesuit priests to try to save her.
It is now fifty years since the novel, followed by the film, came out. The cultural conversation around this supernatural horror film encompassing its treatment of Catholicism helped it to become the first such film to be nominated for an Oscar. Nominated for ten awards, the film won best Adapted Screenplay and Best Sound.
Film critic, Mark Kermode, named ‘The Exorcist’ as his ‘favourite film of all time’; do join us to make up your own mind but prepare to be shocked!
Save the Date: following its nationwide release on 26 March, on Thursday 31 March the Farm Street Film Club presents ‘Francesco – Inspiring Hope’ the new Pope Francis documentary by Oscar-nominated director Evgeny Afineevsky.
