If there are strokes of genius in this film, they are buried deep under the grime of the aesthetics and the unrelenting dialogue that never seems to stop for air.

冰红深蓝 4.00/5.00

索科洛夫“人之力量”四部曲终章,与其他几部浮士德改编电影近似的是,只选择[浮士德]第一部(与格蕾琴的爱情悲剧)作为主线,但与原著大相径庭之处不少,如浮士德虽有崇高和超越性追求,却沦落为央求魔鬼让他与她共度一夜即可,并因此签约,但结局却兀自激荡高扬:忏悔祈祷(还直接引用马丁·路德名句),撕契约,杀魔鬼,向远方奋进。浮士德之父、格蕾琴之母、瓦格纳与瓦伦丁也都有大幅改动。视听风格突出,学院派画幅配上时而扭曲、变形的人物画面,以及倾斜构图,极为压抑逼仄。街道乡村以灰黄滤镜遮覆,书斋与酒馆阴暗滞闷,一切都拥挤、肮脏而腐败,唯有教堂是蓝白世界,森林与闺房则为绿色滤镜。柔光高亮的格蕾琴特写。飘忽而狂躁的多重对白音轨。魔鬼畸形老朽的身体。善恶、美丑、精神/形式与肉身/质料就这样古怪地杂糅在一起。(8.0/10)

Godfrey Cheshire · RogerEbert.com 75.00/100.00

Indeed, compared to many Sokurov films, this one has an enlivening paradoxicality: it's morbid but upbeat, grim yet rapturous.
