Overview

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. A nondescript man is lured by a strange map into a sinister puppet theatre, where he finds himself immersed in an indescribably weird version of the play, blending live actors, clay animation and giant puppets.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A nightmarish descent into a puppet theatre where the Faustian bargain becomes a visceral, surreal nightmare of clay, flesh, and philosophical vertigo. Watching it feels like being trapped inside someone else's fevered imagination.
