Origin and setting of the film

*L’Exorciste* (the French title for *The Exorcist*) is an American horror film directed by William Friedkin and released in 1973. The screenplay by William Peter Blatty is adapted from his own novel, published in 1971. The film stars Ellen Burstyn, Linda Blair, Jason Miller and Max von Sydow, amongst others. 

The story is set mainly in Georgetown, Washington, where the young Regan MacNeil begins to display inexplicable behaviour. After medical investigations prove fruitless, her mother Chris turns to Father Damien Karras, who gradually begins to consider the possibility of demonic possession. Father Lankester Merrin is then called upon to perform the exorcism. 

The poster accurately reproduces one of the most famous images associated with this part of the story: Father Merrin’s arrival at the MacNeils’ house. With its nocturnal setting and striking use of light and shadow, this image has become one of the most recognisable representations of *The Exorcist* and, more broadly, of 1970s horror cinema. The film remains a major work of the genre and received ten Oscar nominations upon its release.
