The content of the movie scene - his own anatomy and his father's hospital are the pursuit of the soul, women and desires in the laundry, the tavern is alcohol impulse killing, the doctor asks the devil to send money, the funeral of the girl Margaret, the walk after the funeral, Margaret's heart is sprouting, the baby created, the church Margaret confesses, Faust seduces Margaret to kill her mother, Margaret learns the truth of her brother's accidental death, and chooses to sign in order to get Margaret's body A pact to sell souls, Faust in armor.

Good people, can escape, forgotten people, kill their own evil, people never stop pursuing the truth, the good and the beautiful, never stop.
Money, wine, and marriage in name only.

Incomplete exposure, turquoise, anemic color, but sometimes smooth, slow motion, image distortion, showing this very important image in Western civilization, literature and art, Faust. We are looking for the way of the soul, will we lose ourselves, will we be bewitched by desire, hunger, can we still be redeemed when we sell our soul?

Even though it is packaged with modern technology, the film still reveals a master's arrogance, which makes the film look rather dull. But all aspects of the film show a finely crafted beauty, all of which show the cinematic talent of director Alexander Sokurov. Whether it is the classic long poem of the Renaissance, or the thinking of the director in the contemporary environment, it is a tribute to people. This film is suitable for academics, not for ordinary audiences.

I was fortunate to see this film in the cinema that has not been bought by any distributor in the United States. The picture and the girl are really beautiful. The wonder of nature, it turned out to be filmed in Iceland. Many parts are compressed and obliquely blurred (as if the lens is covered with a plastic bag), presumably to separate the different perspectives of people and souls.
