A review of Aleksandr Sokurov films will be held at Yale University, New Haven, CT.
The film "Faust" will be screened on November 9, 2016 at 7:00 pm at the Whitney Humanities. Center (WALL53) Auditorium.
In his take on the age-old tale of a man sacrificing his soul to the devil in exchange for knowledge, Sokurov continues his exploration of power started in Moloch and Taurus. With dazzling, constantly moving camera work, a richly textured soundscape, and a meticulously composed mise-en-scene, the film creates a vision of Goethe’s poetic drama unlike anything you’ve ever seen.
