Les Visiteurs du Soir (1942) -- M. Carne
This Vichy-era period
piece (escaping reality to the 15th century) by Carne and Prevert takes place
in a dream world where envoys of the Devil can create mischief by casting
romantic spells on those already devoted to others. True to any dream, the
pacing is languorous but when you settle into its rhythm you might
be swept along by its gentle ministrations. Here we see couples professing
their love for each other -- but when the Devil himself shows up, can they defy
his willful (and witty) efforts to tear them down?
