The Devil and Father Amorth
In 1973, he brought us the film classic. 45 years later, director William Friedkin brings us the real thing.

William Friedkin attends an exorcism with Father Gabriele Amorth, as he treats an Italian woman named Cristina for the ninth time. Prior to filming, Cristina had purportedly been experiencing behavioural changes and “fits” that could not be explained by psychiatry, and which became worse during Christian holidays.
