Special Report: David Kittredge on Boorman and the Devil (2025)

Filmmaker and frequent Projection Booth co-host David Kittredge returns to the show to talk about his stunning new documentary Boorman and the Devil (2025). Premiering at the Venice Film Festival and recently screened at the Brooklyn Horror Film Fest, the film examines the making—and unmaking—of John Boorman’s unfinished masterpiece The Heretic, a project that became both a creative obsession and a cautionary tale.

Mike and David trace the film’s journey from inception to restoration, exploring the documentary’s mix of melancholy reflection and deep admiration for Boorman’s uncompromising artistry. As one critic called it, Boorman and the Devil is “melancholy, thoughtful, and highly perceptive”—a love letter to pure cinematic vision and the madness that sometimes comes with it.
