The film appears like a ritual with splendids and crypteds psalms. The Great Master of Order (Marcel Mazé, new fetish actor after Aloual) seduces the young male prey with a running cinema projector which carves Murnau's Nosferatu extracts on their bodies. Metamorphosis, rituals passages, Eros and Thanotos, illusion and reality, film into the film are the themes and images in perpetual osmosis in this Stéphane Marti's opus.
When we’re moving, walking, watching, driving, how do we breathe? European Summer road diary. Back-and-forth with friends, music, Super8, video, poems.

When she was working as cutter for films like La Carrière de Suzanne, La Collectionneuse and La Boulangère de Monceau, Jackie Raynal was most fascinated by how Rohmer handled sound. Unusual in times of digital access to every sound bit, the director insisted on using the original sound from exact the same place and time where the scene has been shot. So every bird, every gust of wind and every tree got it’s specific sound.

The Devil's beauty is first a garden lived by fettereds statues, bodies tensed between sensuality, damnation and sacred. The film seduce by a brillant camera editing as a clear music. In a singular rhythm, images fall down as flights of quavers before a short lull, a shot, like a note...
