*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
In 1952,Rossellini made one of his very best works:"Europa 51" in which Ingrid Bergman found one of her best -but unfairly not very famous- parts.The same year,he made what I would call his "holiday homework" . To write that "La Macchina...." is a let down is to state the obvious. The Devil coming to Earth was even at the time a hackneyed subject ;the only originality,so to speak ,is that,at the end of the movie,Satan's home seems to be...Heaven as the last picture shows the skies..It may (or may not) be an unexpected twist and perhaps it was the Lord disguised as the devil...But as the Lord said "thou shalt not kill" ..
As for the plot,it's the story of a photographer Satan visits:to kill the "baddies",His Satanic Majesty says "just take a photograph of 'em" ."Even an innocent donkey will be the victim of the machine.
This is not the movie you 've got to show to a young person who would like to discover the great director's filmography.
