The Devil
Dr. Muller, a friend to all, finds pleasure in turning the goodness in people to evil ends. He meets Marie Matin and her fiancée, Georges Roben, while viewing a new painting, "The Martyr--Truth Crucified by Evil." Marie declares that the picture was wrong--evil could never triumph over truth--and though Muller says he agrees with her, he plots to prove otherwise.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director constructs a psychological duel where dialogue becomes a sharp weapon and glances land like gunshots. It explores the fragility of morality, relying on the contrast between Muller's benevolent facade and the dark core of his games.
What lingers after viewing is a chilling early thriller where evil wears a mask of amiability, and every gesture carries a double meaning. A stark reminder of how easily naive faith can be dismantled. — MovieFinder Editorial
