An updating of the Faust legend, with a dash of Fritz Lang's
Der Müde Tod, to a 1950's Paris recreated in vividly abstract
expressionistic sets. The film cost a small fortune to make
and was virtually ignored on its release, demolished with vitriol
by the critics of the Cahier du cinema. Because of that, its
reputation is virtually zero. The film is, in fact, a gem of inventive,
imaginative, technically stunning filmmaking totally out of reach
for most of the New Wave directors. A masterpiece waiting for
rediscovery.
