Faust, which is not easy to understand, is a pleasure to watch. The film opens with Faust searching for the human soul in the guts of a corpse. Later, he is on the streets, walking about and meeting people who are as odd as he is. There is great beauty in this ugly world. Her name is Margarete, and her face appears not to have a single fault. Faust becomes more and more obsessed and makes a deal with the devil to possess the impossible. How does all this end? With the same old lesson: Never sell your soul for anything. CHARLES MUDEDE
