Description:
Jan Svankmajer's long awaited follow up to his acclaimed 'Alice' is an equally astounding version of the myth of Dr. Faustus. Merging live action with stop motion and claymation, Svankmajer has created an unsettling universe presided over by diabolic life size marionettes and haunted by skulking human messengers from hell.

Rating:  - Amazon Recommends III: Jan Svankmajer's Faust
Hello again from this particular aisle of the abstract retail market.
Along with the Jiri Barta collection, the recommendation of Jan Svankmajer's Faust comes as no surprise because, well, I own and review a lot of animation and happen to already have Lunacy, Alice, and the Ossuary and Other Tales disc of Svankmajer's own oeuvre.
Svankmajer is a visually and poetically crafty person with a real eye towards creating splintered, abstract realities. His stories in many cases ... Read More
Rating:  - Did get it the first time round.
I purchased this title on a bit of a whim, and after viewing it for the first time I put it on my shelf thinking I would never watch it again. Faust sat on my shelf for about a year. After a year of new experiences and enlightnments I was again ready for faust after a long ensightful nite with my mushy friends. I was up at 6am and wanted to watch a flick and bam there was faust looking me in the face, how could i deny it. During this second viewing I got it and Faust has become my go to movie. ... Read More
Rating:  - SLAP IN THE FACE
I believe that a dubbed soundtrack in such a high level movie resembles something like a slap in the face of the viewer. What happenned to the original soundtrack with the beautiful czech language melody?
I hope next release won't underestimate our capabilities and sense of aesthetics...
The movie really deserves five stars. The three ones were given thanks to the awful and unwilling distributor's work.
Rating: - "How Should I Know, It's Latin" ~ A Demonic Guide To Higher Truth
A flyer passed out by some innocuous stranger on the street containing a roadmap to a location circled in red, an egg unexpectedly found hidden in the middle of a loaf of bread followed by sudden darkness and a fowl wind when cracked open. Are these events sure signs of the calling of the "Infernal One", or nothing more than random occurrences adding a little unexpected disruption in an otherwise dull, mundane afternoon?
So begins Faust's journey into darkness, his encounter with Mephistopheles ... Read More
Rating: - don't bother trying to analzye it
i love movies and have more than 700 titles in my personal collection. i say this not so you'll know how cool i am, but so that when i say this is in my top 5 of all time, you'll know it means something. i still get something new every time. svankmajer isn't well known in the states, but has influenced filmmakers from darren aronofsky to tim burton. i think this is likely his magnum opus. many short filmmakers seem to have difficulty substantiating feature length films, but not old Jan. the film is laden with ...
