The Devil Knows Why
2003 · 100 MIN · IMDB 5.8 · 265 VOTES · DIR. Roman Vávra
Overview
A good king rules this land, but still things are going from bad to worse. The point is that the greedy Minister of State has an interesting pact with the Devil — for bringing the kingdom into a state of dire poverty and the king to hell, he himself would sit on the throne. And he would have been well nigh successful, were it not for Princess Annie, Filip and magic Apolena — because true love cannot be quelled even by the Devil's machinations.

00:49:43 to sue for the princess' hand.

00:57:33 Your Majesty, apparently she's dressing.

01:06:31 And that's the greatest punishment, eh...
01:10:18 You'll never see me again.
