Leaves from Satan's Book
Blade af Satans Bog
1920 · 157 min · DK
Directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer
Carl Th. Dreyer, Nordisk, 1920. Four episodes, Satan walking through Jerusalem, the Spanish Inquisition, the French Revolution, and the Finnish Civil War of 1918, finding a weak place each time. Dreyer later said he had Griffith's Intolerance in mind when Nordisk asked for something large. The last story is the one shot nearest to the war it depicts. Helge Nissen plays Satan in every century, a hired continuity the studio could afford.
