“Faust” (1994) is loosely based on on plays “Faust” by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (Available Here: https://archive.org/details/faustgoethe00goetiala/page/n3/mode/2up) and “The Tragical History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus” by Christopher Marlowe (Availble here: https://archive.org/details/tragicalhistoryo00marl_0), which are based on the German legend.

Again, just gonna warn y’all that like all other Jan Švankmajer works, this is going to get intensely weird and disturbing. It’s totally cool if you need to tap out.
