”I apologize, but we must briefly discuss hell”

When the devil becomes aware of a virtuous virgin who’s about to marry the love of her life, he worries it might start a trend. So he dispatches Don Juan to seduce her and put a stop to all this moral madness.

A theatrical farce from Ingmar Bergman that as you might expect is more of a humorous rumination of heaven and hell than a joke filled comedy.

There’s still some good moments with lots of human commentary, and I’m always wiling to spend time with Bibi Andersson and Nils Poppe.

On a Side Note:
Is just me, or would “Bergman’s Demons of Hell” make a great name for a band? And of course the first album would have to be titled, ’Journal of the Devil in my Cupboard’

”Nothing has a greater attraction than a potentially evil moment.”

"ओये DON JUAN प्यार ना करियो,

दिल टूट जाता है |"

This is the horniest Bergman has ever been and it’s not even close.

In my journey with Bergman over the years, I have come to learn that basically all of his films work on some level -- how well they work is more dependent on what the viewer's mood is like. All moods differ in much the same way that all Bergman films differ. Today the stars aligned, in what is widely regarded as lesser Bergman, worked quite well for me. Found it funny and unique and highly original. I loved all the performances and the ending is a grand slam.

The Devil’s Eye is a comedic fantasy film by Ingmar Bergman that is an engrossing satire of middle class ethics and morals. It was the last feature film to be shot by Bergman’s frequent cinematographer in the 1940s and 1950s Gunnar Fischer. The devil 😈 (Stig Jarrel), while suffering from an inflamed eye, tells Don Juan (Jarl Kulle) that it can be cured only of a young virgin’s chastity is taken before she is married. The devil allow the famous lover ascend from Hell to seduce a pure, innocent 😇 pastor’s daughter, Britt-Marie (Bibi Andersson). The dialogue in the film is full of irony that is very much an homage to one of Bergman’s favorite playwrights, Moliere. The harpsichord music composed by Dominic Scarlatti and played throughout the film highlights the happiness that is scattered throughout the movie. The plot is a little convoluted, but it is an enjoyable enough lesser known Bergman film.
