The infinitely curious Faust is a mere present-day man in this version of Goethe's infamous classic. His questions about the meaning of human existence finally find their place when he suddenly finds himself in a marvelous world, where God and the Devil himself fight for his soul. Faust sells it to the underworld beings, but then, changing his mind, attempts to fight against Lucifer’s manipulation and tries to escape the infernal deal. Director Jan Švankmajer introduces his own surrealistic take on the faustian legend formerly formulated by the likes of Goethe or Marlow.
