Rapsodia satanica (Satan's Rhapsody)

Rapsodia Satanica is not closely connected to 19th century literature. It presents itself rather as a fairy tale, with references to the Faust-legend, put in a female perspective. The script of the film was writty by the poet Fausto Maria Martini, and his text is in verse, as can clearly be seen in the intertitles. Nino Oxilia conceived his film as a "cinematographic poem." Because of its mysterious and highly stylized aestheticism, enhanced by the remarkable score by Pietro Mascagni, Raspsodia Satanica, ranks among the most remarkable mile stones in the history of the interaction between music and film.
