How it feels
This film presents several short stories, each connected to one of the Ten Commandments. A snake representing the Devil offers commentary on the characters' mistakes and choices. The vignettes show people dealing with their own weaknesses while the possibility of forgiveness remains.

What happens
Le Diable et les Dix Commandements (English: The Devil and the Ten Commandments) is a French film from 1962 directed by Julien Duvivier that consists of seven sketches (eight in the versions shown in Germany and Japan) played by an ensemble cast that includes Michel Simon, Micheline Presle, Françoise Arnoul, Mel Ferrer, Charles Aznavour, Lino Ventura, Fernandel, Alain Delon, Danielle Darrieux, Jean-Claude Brialy, and Louis de Funès. The film contrasts a series of human failings with the ever-present hope of redemption and a snake (voiced by Claude Rich) adds the Devil's comments. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
