Description

Jan Svankmajer’s Faust is a rendering of the infamous Dr. Faustus fable of temptation and damnation. Borrowing freely from both Marlowe and Goethe and ancient folktales and timeless myths, the story follows a lonely Czech businessman who sells his soul to the devil in return for 24 years of self-indulgence. A visually fantastic combination of live-action, claymation, puppet theatre, stop-motion animation, and other special effects, Svankmajer creates an unsettling universe presided over by diabolic life-size marionettes and haunted by sinister human messengers from hell.

    Fun mixed medium horror

    I particularly liked this take on the Faust story. The combination of live action/stop motion/and puppetry really added to the overall experience/ The picture transfer was really good as well.

    Delightfully Devilish

    A worthy edition of a great film from one of my favorite directors. Hopefully this isn't the last Svankmajer film to get the boutique treatment

    I really like this. The creative direction was interesting, fun, and unique; a direction you don’t see too often in horror films. I’m glad to have purchased.
