Review of Faust

Faust (1994)
7/10
There are always such stage properties and feelings
5 May 2005
This is my favorite one within the 4 works I have seen, which are Little Oik, Conspirations of Pleasure and Alice in different times. Every time, I saw Svankmajer's work, I was a bit shocked and excited.

And I can always see marionettes, tongue, biting food, juice, repeat (which quite annoying, cos the repeat is beyond the limit you can bear). Like the clown read spell to control the movement of the devil again and again, same thing happened in Alice.

I found Svankmajer like whipping, like close-up shots of the scene when people biting food.

I broke laughter when Faust had sex with the female marionettes and found she was the devil in disguise.

I think Frust will be much better if more conversations are deleted and some plots are cut. Cos people with patience like me are so few.

In conclusion, it is a nightmarish marionette movie for children but a funny one for adults, isn't it? hehe
