Review – Leaves from Satan’s Book

Okay, here's the deal: every time Satan corrupts a soul, he has to spend 100 more years in Hell. Bur for every one who slips his grasp, 1000 years get knocked off his sentence. So the better he does his job, the worse he gets punished? Wow, and I thought my job was a pain in the butt. This odd little bit of silent cinema appears to be Carol Theodor Dreyer's attempt to produce an Intolerance-esque quartet of intermixed tale with a similar theme. The contemporary segment is set during the 1918 Finnish resistance to the Red Menace. Ripped from today's headlines (or at least it was back then). Mildly amusing
