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. directed by: Jan Svankmajer starring: Petr Čepek 1994 / 97 min / 1.37:1 / Czech DTS-HD MA 2.0 Additional info: Region A Blu-ray New audio commentary with film historian Adrian Martin Booklet with new writing by film programmer Irena Kovarova English subtitles
