Most excellent story of dealing with the dark forces and all it entails told from the French point of view and in their language. The devil cannot win but he has the ability to manipulate and falsify reality to a point. Those that play along are his prey while the innocent are under the protection of God almighty whose permission must be given now a days for the devil to do anything. It is also interesting to note how cheap a mans soul can be bought for. It is traded for tangible, temporary earthly gains that after one acquires them are meaningless after a while as depicted in every story using this theme. They also take on the same requests: Money, power, fame, women, excesses and the like. However you can have or not all that for free especially in America! Why trade your soul for the shortcut? I am always reminded of drug dealers who made fortunes living in obscurity in foreign places in mansions with all the toys. They will do anything to have what respectable people have but never achieving respectability by the way they do it. The devils deal? 80 years or so of pleasures here & now in return for giving up eternity with God? Who in their right mind would make that deal? The movie starts out slowly but it is necessary to set the hook. Then, you are transfixed as the story unfolds. The ending does not let you down either. Bon Appetit.
