Faust
An ordinary man is lured into a strange puppet theatre by a map and finds himself embroiled in a production of the Faustian legend. A very free adaptation of Marlowe's 'Doctor Faustus', Goethe's 'Faust' and various other treatments of the old legend of the man who sold his soul to the devil. Svankmajer's Faust is a nondescript man who, after being lured by a strange map into a sinister puppet theatre, finds himself immersed in an indescribably weird version of the play, blending live actors, clay model animation and giant puppets. —Michael Brooke <michael@everyman.demon.co.uk>
