Filmed in Tondoscope, a format specifically created for this film which uses a high-sensitivity circular lens that creates a circular image with an eerily luminous quality, and often using mirrors to craft 360 degree images, LUCIFER is a film of well-crafted beauty that owes a lot to renaissance painting and literature. Lucifer, Lázaro Rodriguez, passes through the earthly paradise of a village in Mexico on his downfall from Heaven to Hell. There he meets elderly Lupita and her granddaughter Maria. Lupita's brother Emanuel pretends he's paralyzed so he can drink and gamble while the two women tend to the sheep. Lucifer senses an opportunity and plays the miraculous healer, forcing Emanuel to walk again so as to seduce Maria and makes Lupita doubt her faith.
