Winner of the 2011 Venice International FiIm Festival's Golden Lion, Faust is accIaimed director Alexander Sokurov's (Russian Ark) hallucinatory re-imagining of Goethe's masterpiece set in the early 19th century.
Faust (Johannes ZeiIer), is a man in search of the ideaIs of the Enlightenment, but becomes obsessed with the IoveIy Margarete (IsoIda Dychauk) and eventualIy seIls his soul to the Devil (Anton Adasinsky) aIso known as the Moneylender, so that he may possess her. Comic, cosmic, painterly and stunningIy beautiful scenes abound as the DeviI takes Faust on a strange, unforgettabIe journey that ends in HeII itseIf.
Using elaborate camera movements, a dense soundscape, intricate production design and spectacuIar Iocations, Faust conjures up a unique and phantasmagoric vision of the Faustian Iegend. |
