Faust (1994) (original) (raw)
Svankmajer�s Faust is an ordinary, inquisitive Everyman who, upon exiting a Prague subway station, is handed a map that draws him to his doom. Led to an abandoned theater, he finds a copy of Goethe�s Faust, begins to read aloud and unwittingly summons up a doppelg�nger Mephistopheles who offers him everything his heart desires in return for his soul. Peopled with shape-changing demons and puppet-versions of Goethe�s characters, Svankmajer�s tour-de-force is hilarious and shocking, and utterly unforgettable.
