Faust (1994) - Jan Svankmajer

Imaginative as always, but this particular film seemed to be a little slow for Svankmajer. The legend is toyed with slightly, but the general premise remains the same. The highlight of the film is probably the summoning of Mephistopheles. The rest of the picture just feels not necessarily too long, just too slow mixed with not enough animation in my opinion. The scenes with clay, particularly the morphing face of Mephisto are all great. Sad to say, but probably the weakest Svankmajer film I've yet seen.
