I saw this film when I was a totally innocent 13 year-old and it made quite a dent on me. I have not seen it again but it remains forever in my mind. It woke me up to sex and its power on human beings. It also taught me that things about sex are not always black and white. Gray prevails. Of course, of the quartet, only Magali Noel plays the sex-crazed lunatic and this was an inspired casting. Noel in any film role always has that decadent insane look on her beautiful eyes and that is probably why she showed up in so many Fellini movies later on. In any event, those three ladies are a sight with those scanty beach outfits and there's a definite amount of suspense in their relationships with the only man in town.
It'd be nice if this film ever makes it to home video. I, for one, would like to see how the movie holds up in time and if it was really the source of so many fantasies one experienced in those early days.
"Le diable souffle" almost entirely took place in a house on an island (in the middle of a river),almost cut off the world, where a surgeon , escaping from the Spanish dictatorship wound up;"remous" ,in the thirties tackled a taboo subject :impotence!
Unlike many movies about shipwrecked , there 's no real danger on the island; they have found plenty of tinned food ,and there's game and even she-goats on the place ; probably due to the presence of another shipwrecked ,who wrote a diary ; another weak point :although there are two French ,one English and one Italian (born in Tripoli) ,there's no problem of languages .
But it does not matter,for the story focuses on the characters ,a hunk and three babes (one of the girls is a mentally disordered person );it's a fantasm come true : and as they do not really struggle for their life,sex comes to the fore ;and it might be their doom ;told in voice over by Christian Marquand ("le diable souffle" used the same device to introduce its character),slowly but inexorably , the relationships deteriorate ; intimity is impossible on a tiny island ,and the story becomes some kind of lesson in survival ...Who will survive?
