The Exorcist
U.S., 1973
“For I have seen the devil by day and by night, and have seen him in you and in me.” —James Baldwin
Baldwin’s critique of The Exorcist provides the inspiration for titling The Devil Finds Work; he argued the film disguises human violence as supernatural evil. A cultural touchstone that broke box office records and sparked controversy, The Exorcist endures not for its demons, but for its visceral performances and psychological intensity, which helped paved the way for considering horror genre filmmaking to be serious art.—Public Programmer Beandrea July
