Description

As with Goethe's original text, Sokurov's adaptation centres on the somewhat lowly character of Faust, a professor and alchemist who craves knowledge, yet finds himself constrained by the limitations of human understanding. It is his own poverty-plagued existence which leads our protagonist to the town's demonic moneylender Mephistopheles, a repugnant, overweight creature who quickly agrees to aid Faust in his quest - in exchange for possession of his eternal soul.
