Faust (1994)
Everyone knows the story of Faust, the man who sells his soul to the Devil for knowledge and power. I really wasn't here for the story so much as I was here for the artist, the surrealist genius himself, Jan Svankmajer! Everyone knows him from his first feature film Alice, an animated masterpiece from 1988 and my personal favorite adaptation of Alice in Wonderland on screen, with some of the best displays of Stop Motion Animation, Puppetry and Claymation that I have ever seen! Faust is his follow up to that feature, and similar to Alice, he approaches the story in a really fascinating fashion, uniquely combining live actors, claymation and puppetry, with Faust being portrayed both as a puppet and a ordinary man.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988)
