Original title: Blade af Satans bog
From a novel by Marie Corelli. The basic story is God judging and dooming Satan for tempting man to go against God's will. Now Satan must keep up the temptation if he wants his doom time abridged.
We get to listen to piano music by Philip Carli (2004), geared to the action while waiting for the doom to pass. They leave the intertitles up long enough to read. Probably a good example of film making of the time (I've seen better) and definably should be added to your film library.
30 years after the birth of Christ we get to see the real last supper, not that painting used in "The Da Vinci Code" (2006). "But Satan, the fallen angel, whose whole heart was set upon finding favor again in the eyes of the Almighty-he, was grieved to see his evil work completed"

16th century in Seville in Spain we catch Don Fernandez y Argote teaching a "girl" Isabella, mathematics and history. And we all know what happened to the world after women fathomed math. At this time the inquisition has this thing about astrologers "He who pretends to read God's will in the stars is a heretic." So, it looks like Isabella is toast.

Autumn 1793 Paris in the Republic of Liberty. Once again, we are dealing with a woman about to lose her head. An even gorier scene is a cat dragging on a one-pound rat; I think it may have been a metaphor. If you like this type of story be sure to read "The Scarlet Pimpernel" by Baroness Emmuska Orczy. If you do not like this type of story then read "How to Quickly Lose 10 Pounds" by Jose Delgado. "Liberté-Egalitè-Faternité."

Spring 1918 Hirola Finland. The story is told in Red vs. White. It is about the fate of Siri. I know it is a distraction from the theme of the film but I am intrigued by the technology of the time.
Will Satan be free of this chore? Watch and see.
