The Devil's Eye

Satan (Stig Järrel): ’The higher powers have tricked us. Our evil has been worsted by their joy, their calculated goodness. I am weary and fed up, I think I’ll retire. Heaven will have to manage without hell. That will teach Him up there a lesson. Here, a young woman’s innocence attracts us to send our best weapon, and what happens? Well, the emotionless return are afflicted with delirious love. Tableau, my gentlemen. Tableau!’

Satan (Stig Järrel) whispers in Don Juan’s (Jarl Kulle) ear. The role of Satan became Stig Järrel’s second collaboration with Bergman, following the satanic teacher Caligula in Bergman’s film debut Torment.
