- A French politician in the 1930s is drawn into a huge Masonic conspiracy.
- One of the most extreme examples of Franco-German ideological collaboration to emerge from the Second World War. Echoing racist stereotypes dating back to the nineteenth century, contemporary propaganda, and a wide range of repressive measures instituted by both the Nazis and the Vichy government, the film revives the paranoid conspiracy theory that a secret, international network of Freemasons controls world politics and economics.—International Historic Films
- Elaborately intertwining racist stereotypes, conspiracy theories, and insidious wiles of artful propaganda with skilfully made fiction, "Forces Occultes" aims to expose a global socio-economic "scheme". Using the spirited young member of the French parliament and idealist legislator, Pierre Avenel, as a vessel for impartiality, the film portrays the struggles of a dreamer to preserve democracy, only to find himself drawn into the sinister machinations of Freemasonry, and in the clutches of the Masons. Little by little, Pierre unearths the one and only "truth" and summons up the courage to expose those who benefit from hiding it. In the end, in this extreme anti-Semitic propaganda film, Pierre Avenel, after an authentic initiation ceremony, gradually transforms from a fierce defender of justice into a never-to-be-forgotten martyr.—Nick Riganas
