Another fantastic review of BOORMAN! Rating 9/10: "Kittredge’s project is not an apology or a defense. It is a deep, philosophical inquiry into the anatomy of this specific failure, examining the collision of vision, commerce, and calamity that produced one of Hollywood’s most notorious artifacts."

Artistic creation carries with it the shadow of transgression. To make something new is often to defy an old form,

Notes on 3 highlights, @davidkittredge.bsky.social’s BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL, @radujude.bsky.social’s DRACULA, and Lucile Hadžihalilović’s THE ICE TOWER — www.criterion.com/current/post...

John Boorman stands on a precipice and a ghostly Linda Blair seems to be on the verge of a fall in the poster for David Kittredge’s BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL (2025).

Wow! "The film, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival, combines meticulous research with a lyrical, almost poetic sensibility."

Does John Boorman’s ‘The Exorcist II: Heretic’ Deserve Reappraisal? New Doc (and Scorsese) Make the Case — World of Reel

The case Kittredge makes is compelling: ‘Exorcist II’ isn’t a lazy cash-in, but a subversive, experimental film that challenges the formula of Friedkin’s original.

Last week I had a fun chat with @scotttobias.bsky.social about BOORMAN AND THE DEVIL and the importance of art that takes risks.

Scott Tobias @scotttobias.bsky.social · 23d

When I heard about the new documentary on EXORCIST II: THE HERETIC that premiered in Venice, I had to talk to its director @davidkittredge.bsky.social immediately. Today in The Reveal, he talks about the making, unmaking and revival of this one-of-a-kind sequel: thereveal.film/interview-da...

Interview: David Kittredge on the reviled and revived 'Exorcist II: The Heretic'

With his new documentary 'Boorman and the Devil,' David Kittredge goes deep into the tortured history of a misunderstood horror sequel.

"David Kittredge’s Boorman and The Devil... is one of the wisest, deepest, most poetic-minded, most eloquent and most satisfyingly assembled “inside baseball meets human vulnerabilty” documentaries that I’ve ever seen."
