Faust

Synopsis

In an overcrowded, muddy 19th-century German town, an impoverished, anatomist scholar driven by an unquenchable thirst for knowledge dissects corpses in search of the human soul, selling his soul to a misshapen moneylender (Mephistopheles) to spend one night with a pure young maiden named Margarete, embarking on an intoxicating journey through subterranean baths and basalt volcanic peaks. Aleksandr Sokurov and Bruno Delbonnel's Venice Golden Lion-winning crowning finale to his Tetralogy of Power.
