Der Teufel und die Jungfrau

Even though it doesn't last a half-hour, this Polish/German short is still quite memorable. Beautiful Renata Dancewicz gives a wonderful performance as a young woman who clearly longs for more than the farm life, and Marek Kondrat is also great as the Devil. It would have been great to see this as a full-length feature, especially since it was such a relaxing film to watch, but this is still most definitely worth a look, even with the short running time.

The plot of this 28 minute short is hackneyed stuff about the devil appearing in disguise to a young maiden just awakening to her sexuality. However it is carried along by the shimmering sensuality of the photography, the lushness of the art direction and the ravishing beauty of Renata Dancewicz as the maiden of the title. Worth a look when it pops up on TV, typically as a part of an "Erotic Tales" series of shorts.
