About Leaves from Satan's Book
The power of Satan is highlighted in four historical tales: the betrayal and subsequent arrest of Jesus, the Spanish Inquisition, the French Revolution and the execution of Marie Antoinette, and the Finnish War of Independence in 1918.
Directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer, Leaves from Satan's Book leans on a strong ensemble — Helge Nissen, Halvard Hoff, Jacob Texiere — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1920.
