      Audience Member This movie was a trip. It was really bizarre, but well done in my mind. I like how you really didn't know what to expect next. The ending of the movie actually took me by complete surprise Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Fausto 5.0 is an avant-garde Spanish film that is definitely successful at creating a surreal and disturbing experience. The story is only very loosely based on the Faust legend. The strange decaying and plastic-wrapped world is inhabited by characters that range from the eccentric to the unpleasant. I don't know that it's really something to "enjoy", but it is often fascinating. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member L'ambiance singuliere et inquietante de ce film fantastique espagnol est plutot captivante au depart. Un soupcon de Lynch, une pincee de Cronenberg et un zeste de Kafka dans un futur proche, glacial et delabre, qui rappelle un peu les BD de Bilal, la mythologie egyptienne en moins. On sent toutefois le budget restreint, un petit cote "cheap" de serie B, mais le travail de realisation est propre et soigne. On se laisse donc entrainer dans ce cauchemar eveille vecu par un eminent toubib, specialiste des therapies de fin de vie. Sous l'emprise d'un avenant Mephistopheles gomine qui pretend etre l'un de ses anciens patients, il bascule dans la debauche, laissant ses fantasmes les plus honteux rejaillir a la surface (meurtre, necrophilie...).Puis on en reste la, avec une conclusion tres vite expediee, pour ne pas dire baclee, entre "Sixieme Sens" et "Fight Club". Au final, ce film ne debouche sur rien ou presque... si ce n'est ce sentiment desagreable de s'etre un peu fait escroquer. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Que peli más rallante... y el caso es que me ha gustado... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I wont cconsider it as a bad film but not good either. Faust story is more or less very popular but here we deal with something different. It says its a horror movie but i doubt. Its a psychological thriller with annoying actors. What i really liked is that it shows the true face and arrogance of some doctors.... PLUS: World appealing story MINUS: Actors choice, FX BEST SCENE: A girl with amazing hair style just enters in the doctors room and start... blowjobing him, passing him, her chewing gum!!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member I was pleasantly surprised by this film. I'am never usually one to sit down and watch an Art House film. But I found this film very enjoyable. The mixture of dreamlike imagery and gritty realism is satisfyingly understated. I cant really put in to words how this film plays out? All I can recommend is that if you're a fan of David Lynch you appreciate this film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
