Synopsis:
After finishing The Virgin Spring in 1960 Ingmar Bergman found himself drained and according to a friend needed to `tell a joke`. The resulting film was The Devil`s Eye starring Bibi Andersson who would later star in both Wild Strawberries and Persona.

When the Devil decides that a young woman has been a virgin for too long he sends Don Juan up from hell to rob her of her virginity. Despite his charms the young woman resists the temptation to give in to him, but events become further complicated when Don Juan falls for her, experiencing love for the first time.

Previously unavailable on DVD, The Devil`s Eye is one of Bergman`s most abstract films and represents his first attempt to grapple with the question of theatricality in film.
