"Following reverence is cruel blasphemy, with cigarettes burning at the feet of God." Sade.
Suddenly thought of "cigarettes". It has always been interesting as an image. When the film shows a scene of believers and women smoking, drinking and playing cards, more meanings are mixed. The imagery of this scene seems to be the densest and most provocative in the entire film.
At this moment, the picture interprets itself, without the need for others. But there is doubt about it: maybe the only god also loves smoking. I give some approval to the Ophite saying "God is ignorant and fallen".
