DVD Description
Winner of a host of international film awards including a Goya Award for Best Lead Actor (Eduard Fernández), and Best Film at the 2002 Fantasporto Festival, FAUSTO 5.0 is a contemporary reworking of the Faust myth as a psychosexual surrealist horror film. Directed by Álex Ollé, Isidro Ortiz and Carlos Padrisa (better known as members of La Fura Dels Baus, the controversial experiemental theatre group responsible for the notorious sexually explicit stage play "XXX"), the film stars Miguel Ángel Solá (Tango), Eduard Fernández (The Goalkeeper) and Najwa Nimri (Sex And Lucia).

Product Description
IF YOU WERE TO SELL YOUR SOUL, WHAT WOULD YOU ASK FOR? Brought to the screen by Barcelona's controversial theatre group La Fura Dels Baus, FAUSTO 5.0 is contemporary and highly imaginative reworking of the Faust myth In the tradition of ANGEL HEART and JACOB S LADDER. Dr. Fausto (the acclaimed Miguel Ángel Solá), a specialist in terminal medicine spends his entire life with patients on the brink of death. So wrapped up in his routinue and soulless work he has become a man without dreams. A man closer to death than life. Whilst attending a medical conference in the city, Dr. Fausto meets the mysterious Santos Vella (Eduard Fernández), a man who claims to have once been his patient. A patient who claims the Doctor had given up on him for dead eight years ago. Fausto has no memory of him. The charismatic Santos quickly becomes the Doctor's guide around the city, and he's a guide with magician's skills. He re-introduces the jaded doctor to life and real experience, and makes a bold pact with the Doctor to turn any of his desires into reality. Prepare for a fantastic and horrendous journey through a tunnel of dark emotions which will change Fausto forever. SOME DESIRES CAN BECOME NIGHTMARES.

5.0 out of 5 stars great psychotronic Spanish madness !, 13 Aug 2008
By Mr. Ae Rayner "aerayner" (hampton UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

I never knew that they made psychotronic films in Spain but after watching this amazing bit of cinema I feel re educated! Here's a brief summary of the story :
Dr. Fausto is a surgeon who deals with terminally ill cases & is on his way to a medical convention where he is due to present a paper when the first of many odd things happen - he's waiting for a train & because of his behaviour on the platform we get the impression that he might be contemplating suicide. After all his is not exactly a joyous occupation! The suicide idea turns out to be a red herring, otherwise the film would be over very quickly but once he's on the (very smart) train he gets eyed up by a very strange looking old lady! She converses with him but he has no idea who she is -he winds up taking her bag off the train as she has simply disappeared! If you think this is mad so far, stay with it! The next strange character that Fausto meets is a guy called Vela, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the classical appearance of Mephistopheles! Vela claims the doctor operated on him years ago by removing his stomach (!) but Fausto can't recall. Vela follows the doctor around, offering him happiness and the fulfilment of all his wishes but don't be fooled into thinking this is just a variation on the selling your soul to the devil story.
From here on in events resemble a cross between the nightmare imagery of Jacobs Ladder (remember that one?) & the grossness of Reanimator!
Sensitive dog owners need to be `cautioned'! You have been warned! There's some gratuitous sex involved too! To give away any more details would be criminal, so go check this out for yourself!
Bonus making of doco is really cool but I can't help wondering how they coped with 3 directors! The dubbed English language version is absolutely fine & all sub titles can be removed!
A great Saturday evening's entertainment!
