Rating:  - Faust....
I watched this film a long time ago on tv and it still has this weird impact on me. So, i decided to purchase and i am still not dissappointed! A fresh take and undoubtly, one of the finest interpretations from this filmaker from Spain.
If you enjoy foreign films, please do give this a chance. Recommended!
Rating:  - Be Careful What You Wish For
Dr. Fausto, a surgeon who deals with terminally ill cases, is on his way to a medical convention where he is due to present a paper. On the way he is accosted by the devilish looking Santos Vela, a man who claims the doctor operated on him years ago. This is not a chance encounter. "Vela" follows the good doctor about, offering him happiness and the fulfillment of all his wishes, good and bad. And in spite of himself, Dr. Fausto succumbs.

Rating: - Surreal. Nothing is what it seems.
A very unusual film. The cinematography, sets, characters and story are all very different.
The story revolves around Dr. Fausto (a venerated doctor dealing in terminal medicine) and one of his past patients called Salles. Salles is an eccentric character, the kind of person who can get under your skin with his attitude and behavior.

Rating: - Strange and Kind of Compelling
This is a very odd, compelling retelling of the Faust legend set in contemporary Spain. The performances and visuals are excellent but it took me a little while to settle into the film and go along for the ride. It's not slow, but if you're expecting a fast-paced, emotionally satisfying entertainment then this is deifintely not for you. However, if you like your cinema somewhat challenging, ambiguous and little frightening then you'll find it quite worthwhile.
Rating: - Fausto
Watch this film for the beautiful cinematography alone. I've never seen a more visually pleasing movie. The dvd has a dubbed feature, but I recommend viewing the original subtitled version. Pop this baby in your player and be entranced.
